Sometimes the way forward is the way back

Tonight, I learned if you hold a door knocker's nose long enough, he'll open his mouth and let you put the knocker back in his mouth. True story.

I also learned that David Bowie can throw an infant nine feet in the air with giggling results, and that if you are a firewalker you can dismember yourself while you sing about a life with no worries.

Another cool fact? If I were a gelfling, I would have wings. And, I could call unusual animals to come to my rescue by making deep, gurgling sounds in my throat.

One more thing- if I ever become a soldier, I can trade a good whistle for a bag that can capture death. Side note, death is a bald midget with really big blue eyes and a tiny nose.

Look at everything that Jim Henson has taught me!!!

Tonight, we had a "serious" Jim Henson shindig. It's great being a part of the Varney family on a Saturday night, I'm telling ya! Jenna's fiancee, Mike, came over, and Phil joined us for a night of laziness. We decided to watch the Jim Henson movies that were, well....scarier in my book, but according to everyone else, we watched a collection of movies that we think Jim Henson might have been dead serious about. I watch these, and seriously wonder if he was being completely serious about his work. They come off as comical, so to speak, but watching the "behind the scenes" junk about making the movie, he is SO serious, it's sadly funny! Also, have any of you ever realized that in said movies, he uses a ton of glitter? You name a location for it, it's there. Trees, vines, rocks, dirt....really, go back and watch some of Henson's creepier work, and you'll see a wonderland of glitter.

I love these kinds of nights.

Reasons I'm Happy Today

Today is a sick day.

I'm not complaining in the least bit, though. I've been able to do so much, and to finish off the day, I wanted to blog about why I am happy. Here's what I've come up with-

*I've finished so much wedding planning today it's ridiculous! I know what I want to do, and how to do it, all I need to do is, well...do it!
*I've been able to read a lot of my magazines and books on the LDS temple. It makes me so happy!
*I'm pretty sure that I have a job doing something that I really like! Tomorrow is the last interview and I'm feeling confident.
*I have the best fiancee in the world! I love him so much!
*I took two NyQuil and slept for four hours. Ahhh, so wonderful...
*I cleaned out a drawer underneath my bed and found my electric blanket.
*The Varney's have started celebrating Christmas. We listen to Christmas music constantly, and my baby sisters already have their tree set up in their room.
*I ate a sugar cookie today :)
* My darling Jeremy brought my itouch back from the dead! I missed my organizer so very much.
*I've had "The Simpsons" playing on my TV all day while doing this and that. I think I've gone through four seasons today.
*My cousin that I haven't spoken to for YEARS got in touch with me today.
*I found and am wearing my pink, silk Disney jammies today.
*My mom wanted to make sure I wasn't dead this morning, and she brought me juice in bed.


I'm feeling pretty good :)
