More Things I Love About Home

1.  Homemade bread with homemade strawberry freezer jam.  I know, I could make both in Texas, but it's just not the same.  Of course, I've never made freezer jam in my life.  There.  I said it.  I might be the only Mormon girl left in America who's never made freezer jam.

2.  The Judy has a "picking station" set up in the brightest window in the house.  It's complete with a magnification mirror and tweezers.  The only bad thing about it?  I've just recently become aware of how bad my beard really is.  Good grief, but living in ignorance might have been the better choice.

3.  While preg testing, the vet marked all of the open (not pregnant) cows with an "O" on their hip with a giant stick of neon orange chalk.  The Judy, upon hearing of the first open heifer said, "Ok, John.  Mark her with the "O" of shame."

4.  You can see the moon.  And all of the stars.

5.  Cool mornings.

6.  I've been reminded that I am not as ugly as I was thinking I am.  I was able to straighten my hair on Tuesday for the first time in ten months, thanks to the drier climate of Nevada.  I really am better looking here.  No, really, I'm not making that up.

7.  Mom while watching an NFL game with Jared, "Oh, hey, Jared, is this fantasy football?"

8.  Getting to use my cell phone when we go into town.  When it's only once a week, it kind of seems like a treat.

9.  My aunt, Lyn, put my massage license to use for the first time since I passed the test back in March.  I haven't given a massage since last October.  I was kind of dreading it because my hands and arms are so out of massage-giving shape.  Then I put her on the massage table and the only thought that came to my mind was, "Man, I love this."

10.  Watching Dancing With the Stars with The Judy.  And being happy that The Hoff was the first to go.  I'm sorry, but he's creepy with a capital "C".
