Low numbers - this is good!

Here are several updates from the past days:
1) it really was almost 70 degrees this week- and here is a picture from my car to prove it


2) it turns out I am VERY anemic (no iron). The doctor HERSELF called me less than 24 hours later to tell me to go buy iron and eat red meat three times a week (yah yummy cows!) Apprently (this is for my nurse-mom) your iron is suppose to be between 30-160 and I'm a 16. And the other thing - ferritan? - is suppose to be between 12 -160 and I'm a 4. Probably why I am cold, tired and..apparently, not sleeping well! Soon I will be cured! So I am taking LOTS of iron, and eating cows and prunes.
Imagine a cow picture here

3) we had WAY fun in Logan today. Here are the girls and their friend Audrey enjoying some homemade tapoica pudding - yum!! And some more of them playing bikes outside.






4) you can all go back to eating Mrs. Fields Cookies. Here is the story. Many years ago (like 4) I got a gift certificate from the cookie store from my company for my birthday. It waas for $5 which is like 2 cookies - but hey - they are YUMMY and it would be FREE! (two of my favorite things). But NO store would accept my card. NO ONE. I was REALLY pissy. For years. Then this week I thought to try mrsfields.com. And my customer service agent Richard was able to confirm my gift certificate (yes, I had been carrying it around all these years, hoping to find the random cookie store that would accept my card). And I am getting a REAL certificate for cookie! YAH!!! ( do cookies have lots of iron in them?)

5) here is a pic of a bumper sticker we saw in Logan:

It says "Monica Lewinski's ex-boyfriend's wife for president." Josh thought it was really funny. We love Logan.
