September Challenge Day #25--What are your sleep habits? Day #26--What are your favorite things you use your senses for?


First of all, I HAVE to fall asleep to the television.  The sleep timer is the most used button on the remote!  I usually put on some old sitcom or show that I'm not very interested in (but NOT the Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, or Dives - for some reason it just grates on me when I am trying to sleep and I end up both angry and awake!  Whenever I try to sleep without the TV, I toss and turn, worry and fret, and soon become extremely stressed.  Kim knows that most times if he just lets me watch for 5 minutes or less then I will be sleeping soundly and then he can either turn it off (so he can fall asleep) or else he can then watch the Food Network!

I bought a set of VERY expensive pillows a few years ago.  What a great investment!  My pillow is long enough that I can rest my head on it and at the same time wrap my arms around it.  I almost always sleep on my side, usually in the fetal position.  If Kim isn't home then I tend to use the entire bed, sometimes I even turn upside down with my feet at the headboard and my head at the foot of the bed!  When he is home I don't move as much, but he says that I am notorious for stealing the covers.  I don't believe him because it seems that he always has plenty!

Favorite Things I Use My Senses For

 Sight:   The beauty of nature, especially flowers, the beach, and the ocean.   Also I love to look at pictures that trigger memories.

Smell:  Good food cooking, especially things like brownies or an outdoor barbecue.

Hearing:  Music

Taste:  Easy one - Dr. Pepper and chocolate!

Touch:  The feeling of a hug.

Fun Day With Bubba

Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Image
Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
