Dude. Lately there has been a lot of fun stuff happening. Like getting some new wheels! (okay technically that was bittersweet, RIP old car), but all the bells and whistles are fun.
Like when I figured out how to upload a photo to the dash.
Speaking of which, John and I got back together. Raise your hand if you saw this coming. We are nothing if not habitual.
Also I got a root canal. That was less fun. Actually no fun whatsoever.
But it’s always fun to make scary eyes when you’re holding a sharp knife. Crazy fun.
And to act like Frankenstein when you’re rolls are growing… THEY’RE ALIVE

Speaking of amazing gifts, check out what my BFF Bowler sent to me. (she sent me the brunette one and kept the blonde, since she lives across the country). LOVE.
Fun is capturing the coveted traveling family pope bust. Fun is gingerbread house decorating.
Fun is a rascal scooter.
Fun is stopping a road trip to visit a Star Trek shrine in the middle of Iowa.
Don’t worry, in the gift shop we bought ‘Shats’, that’s a Shatner hat. It looks like a Beret, but according to him it’s from space.
Fun is a new old sewing machine, and a tutorial from an Iowa State certified home economist. Quick! Get me a project!
Fun is an unseasonably warm day strolling to get macaroons and the world’s best scones from a local bakery.
Here’s to plenty more silliness in 2012. Perhaps without all the dental work and car turmoil. But definitely with the themed food and ridiculous photos. What could be more fun?
