Stress


I have SO MUCH TO DO in the next few days. Let me list it out so maybe I will feel less stressed and it won't seem like much:

1. Edit the family cookbook, figure out exactly how many we need, and place that over $1,500 order. (Also keep hope that everyone will pay me back and I won't be out any money!) do this all by Sunday night!!!

2. Decide on and purchase season passes to Sundance by Sunday, before prices go up. Midweek passes, night passes, I don't know!!!

3. Finish some jewelry I'm working on & post it on my Etsy shop, so i can give the go-ahead to have this adorable blogger run a giveaway for one of my necklaces.

3. Get an oil change ASAP, I just realized I'm WAY overdue.

4. Figure out our plans for Christmas, since flights on Allegiant are around $12-20 from Vegas to Phoenix, and I have a feeling they won't be that way for long.


Okay only 2 things that need to be done in the next 2 days, I can handle that right?

Oh did I mention we have over 315 recipes in that family cookbook so far?... :) yikes

Weekend Update-Part 2

Update! Brandon picked me up from work on my lunch break today and we tried to go let the little kangaroo mouse go in Provo canyon exactly where they found him, but with no success! He just ran around in circles and wouldn't run away! He would just sit on the bare rocks in the sun. If we had left him, guaranteed within 5 minutes he would have been hawk food. We think something is wrong with his instincts, because he really doesn't have any. When they found him he was just sitting there squeaking and walking around in circles, like he was lost. So we decided he is not fit for the outdoors and for his own good we need to keep him! Brandon picked him back up from the rocks and he nuzzled into Brandon's finger and promptly fell asleep. What kind of instincts are those!?! Crazy little guy. So for now we have a new pet, we'll let you know the name soon.

Weekend Update

This weekend was pretty fun for the Wellings. We saw Cowboys and Aliens which was actually pretty good. Very exciting and exactly what the title says it is. Except there was one part where an alien jumps out of water, and I was not expecting it and literally jumped off of my chair and I screamed a little bit. Brandon thought it was hysterical! I guess I was just really tense! It was good though.

We also may or may not have let off a stink bomb in Wal-Mart, but if you are a police officer we definitely did not. It may or may not have smelled like someone pooped their pants. We don't really know if anyone noticed however, since it is Wal-Mart and they kind of expect it. ;)

On Sunday, Brandon and his friend Jeremy went and did a little fishing and came back to our apartment with this little precious guy!!

After some Googling we figured out he is a Kangaroo Mouse! He is literally the size of a cotton ball. And he just sits there! He LIKES to be pet! His eyes get kind of droopy and I swear he likes it. He doesn't run away or anything, he will walk around a little bit but I think because we had the lights on in the living room, and he is nocturnal, it made him sleepy because he started falling asleep just sitting on our carpet!
 (In a sock!)
 Jeremy fell asleep next to the mouse, it was kind of hilarious. Just napping with a mouse.
And he kept falling asleep in my hand!


How am I supposed to handle that cuteness!! 

We put him in a box with some leaves and grasses and oatmeal and covered it with a board because he needed it dark and he started scurrying around! He even tried to jump out from a high leaf! Don't worry he can't escape. We are still deciding if we will keep him or put him back in the wild, but we're pretty sure he will just be owl food if we put him back... The longer we keep him the harder it's going to be!

Also question, my roots are majorly growing out so do I just go for the ombre thing?  Or get some more highlights??

 Also I love Halloween decorations. Those little lanterns are form the dollar store, can you believe it? They light up too!

 Oh and I made this garland from a printable. It is on my other blog here if you want to do it too!
