Hot Chocolate

First off, I had a great post written but I thought I should ask Ryan for his consent since he was the main topic and I was denied, so this is a filler post. And that's really too bad, it was a good story.

I know everyone already knows about The Pioneer Woman. My sister was reading her way before she got "popular" and now she won't read anymore about PW because it's gotten too cool.

Yesterday PW posted a recipe for homemade chocolate milk mix. Well, I know about something that PW doesn't. It's a little gadget called the Cocomotion. {Maybe she does know about it, but that's not the point.}

If you make the chocolate milk mix like she instructs, then use it in the Cocomotion you have hot chocolate that tastes like Starbucks. My husband doesn't like Starbucks hot chocolate because it's semi-sweet, but I love it. Maybe if I'm feeling nice I'll make him some of the chocolate milk mix using milk chocolate, but probably not.

My favorite thing about being pregnant is feeling the little guy move. It's awesome. I love being pregnantEXCLAMATION POINT times three.

We're very excited. Very excited.

The best $60 I've ever spent.

If you live in Utah (or Iowa) or anywhere cold in the winter, and you have a really old house with zero insulation and you have single pane windows that you can feel the cold air blowing through at night, I have a suggestion.

Flannel sheets.

I bought some flannel sheets on Monday and they have been absolutely heaven. There's no cold spot in the bed and my husband doesn't have to rub his big old cold feet all over me trying to warm them up because they're already warm. Plus, you don't have that cold shock of getting into bed which feels like your bed is actually an ice skating rink. PLUS, they come in white. So I can still have that all white bed that makes me so happy.

Flannel sheets, I love you.

Where are you from?

I love hearing different accents. Whether it's a NY accent or a Scottish accent I get all tingly.

"Someone" at work today told me I have a Utah accent. I am aware of the accent being in existence, but I didn't think I had it.

Ramblings.

Ryan and I were out of town for the weekend, we drove his grandma down to her home in Arizona for the winter and didn't get home until Tuesday night. My apologies to everyone who called me and I didn't call back. I'm also heart broken I missed the Halloween Party at Mont's. I didn't remember my cell phone charger and my phone was deader than a doornail. Perhaps I'll post some pictures tonight of our day trip to Vally of Fire.

On our way home, we stopped at my mom's place and she made the most delicious dinner. Ryan enjoyed the left overs for lunch and dinner yesterday. She also made cookies, I wasn't in the mood for cookies that night, but let me tell you, I have eaten more than my fair share since then...craisin, white chocolate, and coconut.

When we leave town we turn our water heater to it's vacation setting and forgot to turn in back on the night we got home. Needless to say, my shower was freezing yesterday morning. I considered not telling Ryan about my cold shower so he would have to suffer as well. But then I thought "What would Jesus do?", and I changed my mind. I had a nice hot shower this morning, he still hasn't showered.

I was so sad becuase I thought I missed The Biggest Loser on Tuesday but as I got to the gym last night I was delighted to see it was on Wed night b/c of the debates.

Speaking of the debates...nevermind.
