It is T-minus 2 hours until the 1st Annual Monster Bash. Thrown by our little family, for BOTH sides of the family. I'm talking 40 people. Eek.
The Day is Long, but the Years are Short.

I Love....
It's a given that I love, with great passion and loyalty, my husband and children. I have to state that at the very beginning of this thought. But, as I was driving home from work the other day, it hit me how much I LOVE where I am working. It is hard, physical work but very fulfilling. I love the residents that I care for.
I also love my dog. She gives pure, uncomplicated and unconditional love. She let's me hold her and pet her and snuggle her like a baby. I'm practicing for future babies in my life.
I LOVE the mountains of Utah. I love the greening up in the spring, the golden browns of summer, the brilliant fire display of color in the fall and the crisp, snow-capped layers in the winter. The mountains are majestic and bold and fill me with awe.
These things touch my soul and make me feel contentment, tenderness, and gratitude.
And greatly loved.

There's an App for that!
I am a beverage ice snob. I love a good diet Coke, but for it to be really satisfying, it HAS to have the right kind of ice. And a squeeze from a lime wedge is always nice. The right kind of ice can be a deal breaker for me. If I NEED a diet Coke (as opposed to, "eh, sure, why not") than it just has to have the right ice. Otherwise, it's just not worth it. What kind of ice would that be, you ask? Nugget (or Pellet) Ice. The little compact pieces of ice that "soak up the beverage." Ahhhhhhhh! A Coke and a smile just hit my face.
I know most of the places around town (and within 5 miles of my home) that have the good kind of ice: Pace's Dairy Ann, Barbacoa, Costa Vida, Common Cents, FireHouse Car Wash and Detail, Kneaders, Pizza Factory. I read in the paper today that there are enough of us Nugget Ice fans that there is now an app (luvthenug.com) for your phone that lists all the restaurants that have Nugget Ice. Cool! Oh, wait. I am already the app for that!
(I also noticed that this article mentioned a home ice machine that makes Nugget Ice...up to 80 pounds at a time! It's only $2,849!)
