Awesome movie!

I am doing more adoption portfolio stuff tonight and decided to get my n.etflix money's worth - so I watched this recommended film "Arranged" - it was AWESOME!! Totally like rated G and SO cute about a Jewish girl and a Muslim girl who are teaching school together and become friends when they realize they both expect arranged marriages. So great - watch it!

We will be 'up' on the http://www.parentprofiles.com/ site tomorrow (hopefully) - we are ID# 21760. Look us up -we'd love comments!

Also, I am not dead yet. On Tuesday I got an allergy shot (one in each arm, just like normal) but that night I had a HUGE reaction - swelling, hot lumps on both arms. I took a lot of drugs. In the morning it was WORSE! Bigger than my whole hand up and down both arms. Went back to office. MA (medical assistant) "Hum, and what are your symptoms?" Wrote them down. Go to PA (physician's assistant). "Hum, that doens't look good. I don't think we need to start you on antiobiotics just yet." Medical doctor comes over for a look "I don't think she has cellulitious yet" (I don't think I EVER want that). So I am alive and taking LOTS of allergy drugs to calm down the reaction. No more allergy shots for 2+ weeks!

(yes I am in my footie pj's -hello Josh is working nights and the girls and I wanted to match!) The swelling was WAY worse in the morning.

If you have known me for a while, you will remember a phase I went though about five years ago when I was determined to make good bread. Now I could technically MAKE bread, but it didn't always turn out...big - you know like taller than the bread pan itself. I swear, I went through like 200 pounds of flour during that time. I achieved moderate success. But then this week I made 1/2 white, 1/2 wheat bread and check it out...
I think this is the TALLEST bread I have EVER made! Bring on the cold weather!!!

Auntie Holly racked up points toward "Favorite Auntie"

We all sat around and ate way too much:


I am dressed like a little old Portugese woman. (black outfit for mourning, and authentic Portuguese apron). About 90% of all women on my mission did, at least occassionally, look like this
