Jack is Back!

Okay. So here is the simple story about my car. Ashley threw a small rock at my back window last Wednesday night, explaining later that she was trying to get it in the car so that she could play with it on the way home. Instead of just cracking, the window SHATTERED and blew out with a loud pop and it scared me half to death (I was buckling Jake in at the moment). I did spank her and got very angry and was panicked because Tyler was out of town, it was late and I didn't know what to do. But when I opened the driver's side door to turn on the overhead lights, then shut the door, the whole window caved in and that made the situation easier to deal with. I guess I was going with the no window look.

So I drove around until Saturday morning like this. It was too bad I didn't get the filthy car washed from the snow in Utah before this happened! Anyway, all is well now and I do believe she learned, and will never forget, her lesson! Although that night when we were driving home she commented gently that atleast we could have some fresh air now. I found that thoughful... always the glass half full with her.






As for the other things I wrote about last time, the gym is going great. Learned that it takes 3500 calories to gain or loss a pound. That means that if I gained four pounds over the holidays (hypothetically speaking of course) I OVERATE 14,000 calories. And even more discouraging is that to lose those hypothetical four I need to get my body to burn an extra 14,000. Huh....

About JACK!! I was not able to commit myself to cable b/c cox wanted $75 a month and dish nor direct TV could get it started soon enough. So I had surrendered to the idea of just buying '24' when it comes out on DVD. BUT! Last night we learned that we can watch full episodes on the internet, which is SO COOL! We climbed in bed, got our hot chocolate and a handful of prezels and enjoyed both hours from Sunday night! It was so great because they don't even do commercials... only a 15 second blackberry commercial at every break. And I am SO HAPPY to be watching Jack in Action again. It really gives me something the be excited about! :)

Ty's brother Todd found out we are living without TV and said we are freaks and what's next? Homeschooling?! He doesn't want to talk to us again until we are plugged in. I gave up on Twilight, couldn't hook me. Oh well. At least I know who Edward is now! Over and out.
