Here's what we've been up to this week:
Another PROUD MAMA moment! Zane had his Arrow of Light ceremony. The official transition from a cub scout to a boy scout. It seems like just yesterday I was sending him off to his first den meeting and his scout shirt was sooooo big on him! I loved his leader and loved that his best friend was the only other scout his age. Scout moms will understand the reason for the painted faces, the rest of you can just wonder :) ......
My swap package came on Thursday. Oh!-- I loves me a good box full of shredded documents! (I actually thought about trying to piece a few of them back together....)
WOW! I SCORED! Check out everything that sweet Becky sent me!!!......
It was the messiest, most fun 20 minutes I've spent in a looooong time---digging through all that paper and styrophome to find the goodies! I got candles, candy, stationary supplies , Bath and Body Works soap, a gorgeous picture frame, and the cutest Halloween decoration! She didn't send me that extremely sharp knife in the picture though........that's just what I was using to recklessly hack my way through packing tape and bubble wrap :). Thanks again Becky!!!! and thanks to our sponsor Kat!!! *Hope you do it again soon!*NEXT guess what I did?! Gave myself a black eye--that's what!!! Stupid shelves in the laundry room being where the side of my face wanted to be! I think I even knocked myself out for a fraction of a second. Many "wooshie" noises and prickly stars involved :) ----
Like a good blogger, I photographed my 'tragedy'......
See---I'm pouting :( . That big black bump by my eye----all my doing!I thought you might not be able to see it, so I used my lipliner to draw a big heart around it:
Can't miss it now!!!..... and I left the heart on all day--partly for amusement, and partly because I was just too lazy to wash it off :) . Creepy Wal*Mart guy loved it.
(Nothing so fun as taking pictures of yourself in the bathroom!)And here's a picture I took at 6:00 tonight. That would be SNOW!!! In October! Three days ago I was still running my A/C and today I broke out our winter coats. I guess Idaho did not get the memo that the globe is suppose to be warming!
*********************************
I feel like a band promoter as of late....but only bands I reeeeeeeally love!....like The Arrogants.......and the Naughties!.......
Here you go my old friend J.D. who never reads my blog---(sheesh! You'd think you and Meagan had a new baby to take care of or something... :)) .
If you want to have a massive concussion of rock and roll--then come hear the most amazing cover band EVER---every Thursday from now till a record lable snatches these guys up (and if you want to fly in to hear them, I'll put you up..... for a nominal fee....ha! ha!)
*They're playing on a non-smoking stage, but they're so good they'll smoke the whole place up in no time flat ;) . You won't even care that your ears ring for a day or two.... {Old ladies heart The Naughties!} [don't worry my neon blonde friend, you can pay me in water for this promotional service!....]
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!! HAPPY WEEKENDING!

look how cute you're looking! i haven't been to your blog in a while. the bump is very flattering! haha you'll *poke* your eye out! what movie is that from?
I love your haircut!!! Very cute little heart :)
You are so cute! (but not in a weird way) sorry about your eye... . & love your taste in music....
First I felt the need to tell you that you are downright adorable...bruise and all! :) Love your haircut! I am the queen of self injury and have only been barely lucky enough to avoid the face...legs and arms are fair game. :) And I must say that I am a little jealous of your snow...we will be lucky if we see it in a couple of months here...my luck we will get two feet the day I go into labor! :) Hope you are well and have a fabulous weekend! :)
Wow! Snow...already?? That blows! We are going to be in the high 70's. So, Wisconsin got the memo:-)
Looks like some fun stuff that you got. And nice bump on you eye. I'm good at maiming myself on a regular basis as well.
Good for Zane and Kody, Chris is excited that they will both be in his troop finally. With Andrew in football, he hasn't had any scouts to work with for the last month.
Poor Jen. Sorry about your eye but it is cute in the photo. Your hair looks great by the way.
Love the heart; keep it, the 'creepy guys' will love it. hehe
We are a scouting family, so kuddos to Zane!! Hayden is closing in on First Class!
I am jealous of the snow. The leaves are beautiful here, but still warm during the day.
Lisa Q
You are so beautiful! Seriously!
Thanks for visiting my blog on Thursday! I've ALMOST got a Boy Squad, but my daughter Meg is girly enough to everyone!
Daja, Lady Dorothy daughter and Serena's sister.
WoW!!! Snow! That is so crazy for october :O!! I live in place where winters are very cold but we dont get snow at this time! Very surprised you have it already....but it probly melted right away right?
I do love the "first snowfall" though :) always so pretty
A black eye? Ouch! I was beat up by a random guy a few years older than me some years ago and sort of got a black eye from that but it wasnt too bad....I hope yours heals quickly! :)
dearest jennifer: have yourself a great weekend! and i already comment on facebook about that shinner of yours---wow! is all i've got to say. :)
and i'm still trying not to think of my son even going into cub scouts let alone being old enough to be a boys scout----AUGHHH!!!!!
i'm not that old (and iwll never be---)
what a proud moment--surreal, i'm sure.
It's true--we take pictures of the craziest stuff for our blogs. I've taken pictures of the garbage can, a ghost with boob-eyes, and my own flabby stomach, all for the good of the blogosphere. It kind of changes the way you look at the world...
That had to hurt! :( I can't believe the snow! I am ready for cooler weather but not that quiet yet. Have a good weekend.
great week in photos. i never realized you have a Zane! So do I, you win seniority though, my little man in only 5. bummer about the eye,i bet some not so pretty words were spoken after that happened. Have a great snowy weekend! :)
Yay for Zane! My brother was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout, but that was a whie back.
I have a friend in Boise and he was excited that it was snowing because he hoped that skiing would be open by Thanksgiving. I'm so glad I live in the south!
Okay, I just have to tell you that you are nuts. For your answer to the Friday Follies last week that said the one thing you'd change about your appearance is your face. Nuts. Just nuts :-)
I love all the goodies you got! This has been so much fun to see what everyone got. And I have the next one in the pipeline - end of November.
I think you should just permanetly tattoo that eyeliner heart right there. Loved seeing what goodies you got from the swap!
It is time to update your profile picture! I love your hair cut, gotta take a picture of you , when I go get my next hair cut.
And don't be lying about the shelf. Please get help, abuse is no laughing matter ;)
Love your blog! Great pictures too! Thanks for sharing :)
we love seeing foto's of you! So glad the eye didn't require stitches.
JEnnifer, it's been FOREVER. Of this, I am not proud.
So here I am, practially breaking the sabbath, up at an obsene hour on a Saturday night (Sunday morning) playing catch up. Oh the excuses I can come up with, but I won't!
I know if anyone understands, it's you!
Sorry about your owie.
The eyeliner is a nice touch, somehow it seems cool to have a bump on your eye now.
Whew! Had an entire weeks worth of your fabulous blog to catch up on!
Congrats on your Boy Scout!
What's the Swap Package? I want one ;)
Love your hair!!!
Ouch :(
Snow?
Beach pics are up!!!
Found you a fab couch... ;)
Holy cow...it is getting late! I didn't even notice until I read Emily's comment. We are up late! We'll be draggin' ourselves out of bed for church for sure...and I have to sing tomorrow!
I will be listening to these new bands for sure to check 'em out, and I can't wait to hear the different version of Nobody's cool (oh, here it is! Hey...faster...a guy...mmmmmm...likey).
Anyway, not fun to get the shiner, and it healed very quickly by the time we ate together. I can't believe how dark it really was! I liked all of the shots btw..;)
It's fun to blog...mostly because you get to edit! Thanks for the fun evening again. I had a blast.
I am so glad that you enjoyed your package.. It was tons of fun putting it all together..
I loved that frame so much. I had to buy me one and you one : )
I dropped the stuff off at a packing place.. I had no idea about all the paper inside..lol. I just said, make sure the glass stuff doesn't get broken... I am glad to see that it didn't..
I am so sorry.. You have a black eye. Ouch.
That should be your new profile pic - Jennifer P. with a heart outlined black eye. Nice.
I think this new profile picture looks weird....
Congrats to your Zane. Well done :) I think we'll start cub scouts next year. (I think it's cub first??) You are lookin' oh so cute--even with that black eye! I can NOT believe you already have snow :) Too fun! My Sooners lost yesterday...I'm still in mourning. And you should see my sunburn I'm sporting...OUCH! Hope you have a great week!
Ouch! I hate it when shelves attack!
On the bright side, you have the cutest black eye I've ever seen. :)
Ummm would it be really in poor taste of me to say this. "Brad, eat your heart out because Jen is hot!" Those pictures of you, yes in your bathroom boo boo and all, are GORGEOUS! You look radiant!
Something is agreeeing with you my sweet friend! Because you really do look beautiful!
I don't think I like this one either...
maybe if I wasn't standing next to a TOWEL! :)
Globe's been cooling for 10 years now due to the PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation), exacerbated by an unusually long solar minimum between cycles 23 and 24 (which minimum we are still experiencing).
Still doesn't mean that it can't be unusually warm in places while unusually cool in others, though ;-)
Sorry to see the bump, and I hope it heals quickly for you.
Hope the eye has healed by now!! I was chatting w/ a friend in CO...they've had snow, too...I don't miss it at all (okay, maybe just a little bit...but NOT the cold!!)
I've missed you...will have to pull myself together and get back over here more often!!
Wow! I guess I have some catching up to do! Great idea to put number above the towel hooks! I think I will have to incorporate that so we can end the towel battles.
I think your looking all sexy with the heart on your black eye. My son is working on his eagle scout. I just posted about it. Scouts is amazing for the boys
