I'm losing my mind!!

So I have to make a slight change to the last post --- a very sweet, dear and wonderful friend reminded me that I am ALREADY 27!!! haha. I guess that means I will be turning 28 soon, not 27 again (that is the way years go, I understand. Men can perpetually stay at 18, women never want to get over 30, but you cannot be 27 twice. Lame.). Not only does that mean am I SUCH a dork for that mess-up, but it means that I am getting really, REALLY old and, apparently, I have already lost my mind.

In addition, everyone has been texting or calling saying they had no idea we were moving. I kept wondering how everyone was finding out and thinking "My, how word travels... But who have I told?!" Well, another dear friend informed me that I posted that we were moving on my blog. And so I have. And that also posts on Facebook, which apparently people read. haha. So Linda, I guess I did post in on Facebook before I told you! I'm now wondering if I've even told my mother... which I probably haven't. Geez.

What else have I forgotten... Maybe when I find my brain I will remember.
For now.... oh, I forgot what I was going to write...

"Holy Crap!"

It's already October.
I'm going to say it again: "Holy Crap!!"
Where is the time going? Three months until 2010. Two months until we move to a new home. One month until I turn 27.
It's October and it's beautiful. I love having the windows open all day. I love seeing the leaves change. I love feeling the cool breeze. I love the feeling of seasons changing.
It's already October.
"Holy crap!" I LOVE IT!!

Downer of a day... sort of

It's rainy and cold. Blah.
I found out that I will not be getting paid for substituting the other day because the substitute office is whack. Boo.
I finally made it to give blood and my iron level was .1 too low. Lame.
I made plans with multiple friends today and either I messed them up or something else came up or they fell through. Shame.
BUT the husband is getting off early and we are going to the temple. Who needs sunshine, money, proper iron levels and friends (I don't really mean that, but it fits with what I am saying here) when one can go to the temple with ones husband?!
Seriously, life is so good.

Lost in Austen & My New Favorite Hottie

Just discovered a super fun film - Lost in Austen. If you love Pride and Prejudice you will love this movie. I laughed so hard. Christian said he enjoyed watching me watch it because he enjoyed how much it made me laugh. It's so full of wonderful things that you would never get unless you had, I don't know, maybe watched P&P religiously every week with one roommate or another (not that I know of anyone who may have done anything so girly, silly or hopelessly romantic).

Not only is the story brilliant, but it stars my new favorite hottie: check out Tom Riley. Just say "yum."

(warning: this was a mini-series so it is 3 hours. DO NOT expect husbands, boyfriends or any straight man to watch this with you.)

"Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho...

To 1st Grade we will go, to laugh and learn and play all day. Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho!!"

This was Sarah's Kindergarten graduation song and today was the first day of 1st Grade. She was SOOOO excited. She layed out her uniform on Saturday night. Friday she decided she wanted school to start on Saturday. She loves school and I love that she loves school! Her reading improved SO much this summer. She loves to read, but she does not like it when I tell her to go have 15 minutes of reading on her own. I will find her in her room sometimes, surrounded by books and she hates it if we don't have time to read a book at night before bedtime, but she "hates reading!!!" if Christian or I tell her to go read for her fifteen minutes that day. It's quite humorous, especially when she doesn't come back after her time in up because she's so engrossed in her book. We have to giggle.

Last night was humorous (and yet, not). She was "so, so, so excited for 1st Grade" and, almost literally, bouncing off the walls. Well, with all the energy she used getting all excited she was wasted by about 6:30 and could hardly make it through brushing her teeth to get ready for bed. She was beyond exhausted, poor girl. Then I had to wake her up this morning (NEVER HAPPENS) in order to get her ready and out the door in time to catch the bus -- she LOVES to ride the bus!!

Despite the tired night and the rushed morning Sarah Lynn had a great first day of 1st Grade. She was so excited to tell me about the hole in her desk where she gets to keep things (even I can remember the first desk I had to keep all my things in). She told Christian that there's a very nice boy in her class, but... she can't remember his name. I love to hear the things she has to report. Best of all, just after I've kissed her goodnight and called her my big 1st Grader and just as I'm leaving her room tonight she says "Mommy! 2nd." And I say "2nd??" And she replies, "Tomorrow is my 2nd day of 1st Grade. Goodnight mommy." Now, if that don't just make you smile. :)

I deem today

Taylor Swift Day.
Don't ask me. I hardly even know who this girl is. I have just had her music in my head all morning; now Christian and Sarah can deal with it too. (insert evil laugh)
I just love "Tear Drops on My Guitar" and "Love Story."
My guess is either Bekah or Nora gave me the songs that I actually own because I don't really have any idea where they came from. Thank you ladies for filling my head with bubbly, silly songs.
Any other Taylor Swift suggestions? These songs may get old fast... but then again, mayber that's a good thing! haha
(I am inserting a picture of her because I didn't even have any idea what she looked like before I decided to deem this her day, and holy cow, she is adorable!!)

Just a small change

So I don't know if it makes a difference, but I finally changed the email address associated with my blog - clarissaschrader@gmail.com

If you have a blog that I've already been reading or one that you haven't shared with me, can you send me that info so I can update it in my new blogger?

Thanks!
