We have been challenged to embrace and engage in all types of social media, blogs included. So, I'm going to try and be a little better about the blogging. It's been a while but I did enjoy it when I actually did it so here's to another try. Thanks <a href="http://www.domo.com/" target="_blank">Domo</a>.

But, I had a few random things I'd thought I'd post....</div><div> </div><div>1. hymnals don't have pages, they have hymn numbers. This is purely the marilyn coming out in me but it never fails how much i hate hearing "our opening hymn is on <em>page</em> # 301"</div><div> </div><div>2. i still find that a lot of folks have never realized that in most (if not all) cars, there is a small triangle next to the gas pump icon on your dashboard indicating which side of the car your gas tank is on. Even after owning my car for two years+, I still look at that arrow every time I pull into a gas station. </div><div> </div><div>3. posessive vs. plural. Plural words DON'T need apostrophes. Apostrophes are used only in cases of contractions and posession. Ex: It is going to be a rainy day. It + is = It's going to be a raindy day. I could talk about the your and you're fiasco but i won't. Also, y'all is a contraction for you + all and the apostrophe belongs after the y, not after the a. There are a lot of other examples I could drone on about it but it's rather boring and whiny so I'll stop.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>4. I've converted to become a Taco Time fan. Thank you Molly and thank you the Dunns. I've lived less than a mile from one for 5+ years and my first time there was earlier this year. I recommend the burrito bites or the cheddar melt w/enchilada sauce.</div><div> </div><div>5. You can request a styrofoam cup for your large diet coke at McDonalds. It's the cup they usually give you if you order the sweet tea. All the Utah McDs serve their sodas (please note my proper use of their) in plastic cups, which I hated, because they sweat and get watered down too quickly. And since I like to nurse my beverages over a period of time, my d.c. now stays chilled and sweat-free. </div><div> </div><div>6. I got my ipad today. white with a pink cover. i love it. </div><div> </div><div>7. That is all. </div>fancy nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14346822514284917554noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869742087890130248.post-7648051520854042932010-11-04T00:51:00.001-06:002010-11-04T00:51:22.131-06:00earth to nancyhello friends. you'd think i've fallen off the planet but alas, here i am! here is a quick update to the last few months.... photos to come later<div><br /><div>1. went to kalamazoo, mi to spend time with matt's family.

There's going to be a lot of firsts this coming year without Phil and it started with Father's Day. I met Matt and Les and M for a nice breakfast and then we went to visit his grave. And then we hit a bucket of balls at Bonneville. Before he died, I was able to send him a quick note of how i felt about him. I'd like to think that he already knew it, but just in case.....<br /><br />Dad—I don’t think I’d ever be able to express all that you mean to me. What’s happening now is almost surreal—it’s so hard to believe your time here with us is so limited. I just want you to know how much I love you and how so much of who I am is inextricably linked to you. I’m so like you in so many ways and I’m sure in ways I don’t even know. But I do know that I know the gospel because of you. I know responsibility because of you. I know hard work and loyalty and generosity and honesty because of you. I know how to show up. You embody all the things I want my life and character to reflect. I will always cherish the time we were able to spend together: BYU football in the Relief Society room, piano and choir recitals that I’m sure were sometimes painful, road trips in the station wagon and minivans, early morning seminary, vacations, mowing lawns, Spain, BBQs in Evanston, etc… etc… Dad, I will miss you terribly and wish more than anything that you could stay, but please know that your influence and impact will still be felt long after we have lost you. And don’t worry about me. Please know that I am loved and taken care of. I will be okay. I am so proud to have you as my dad and so proud to be a Johnson. Even though I have had you in my life for 30 years, it definitely isn’t enough. Thank you for everything you have done, been, taught me and shown me throughout my life.

And we knew it would happen and we were prepared. However, there's really no amount of notice that can actually prepare you for the reality that losing him brings. I played it in my head, I imagined what it would be like when I got the phone call but it still didn't make it any easier or ease the sting of hearing, "I'm so sorry to tell you this, but your father has passed away." Through a few tender mercies, I was at home and with a best friend at my side when i received the news. And she held my hand and we cried. There really aren't words that can be said or things that can be done, but the outpouring of love and the Spirit can still be felt. I've been overwhelmed and humbled the last few weeks and am grateful to know what i know. and I'll be okay. but i miss my dad. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">His obituary can be found </span><a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/wacotrib/obituary.aspx?n=phillip-johnson&pid=142740035"><span style="font-family:georgia;">here</span></a><br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

However--many a folk think that I am and here's why....a prank war. My friends K and J have been in an ongoing prank war. His last move was an ad he posted on KSL saying she had General Conference tickets. She was bombarded with phone calls, texts, sob stories, etc.....well played J. So in return K created some wedding announcements. J and I just happen to have a pic together where we're dressed up. Carefeul plotting, planning and deception went into pulling this off. I can not share how I was able to gain access to his phone but it had to be done. Watch out J--your family, friends and singles ward (including the bishopric) all have announcements headed their way. We realize the level of retaliation that this invites, but it was too good not to do it. Team K all the way! and no. my middle name is not Patricia. cash gifts are acceptable-i already have a toaster.</span><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 306px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468585045419904482" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/S-RRIABETeI/AAAAAAAACvo/EP1BtdL4gKA/s400/IMG_3191.jpg" /><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;">the date is hidden under the ribbon--it's May 29th!</span></p>fancy nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14346822514284917554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869742087890130248.post-59204304821987916852010-05-06T22:21:00.003-06:002010-05-07T09:48:43.848-06:00christmas miracles<span style="font-family:georgia;">do you believe in Christmas miracles?

Big Surprise. It still shouldn't amaze me that a group of ten adult women can get along so well and have such a great time, but sometimes it does. For as much as we think we're normal, maybe we're not! We rolled in Friday afternoon and left Monday afternoon--in time to get home to watch the Bachelor, of course :) Here's the haps to the weekend....<br /><br />*checked out Sun Valley (since the actual town of Sun Valley is so small, this was done in about 12 minutes) Technically we spent most our time in <span style="font-size:180%;">Ketchum</span>.<br /><br />*<span style="font-size:180%;">celebrity</span> sighting: Kenny Loggins.<br /><br />*Van 1 waited for van 2 to arrive and then grabbed dinner.

You had to buy your valentine a $5 item and/or outfit from the <span style="font-size:180%;">D.I.</span> to wear during one of our outings.<br /><br />*youtube hour. we got sucked into watching youtube after youtube. but this was our fave--probably watched 20+ times....that oprah and her surprises. <span style="font-size:180%;">Hallelujah</span><br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tubL9EaiztM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tubL9EaiztM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />*Saturday morning we found ourselves at the <span style="font-size:180%;">GoldMine</span>-a thrift store--in search of one-piece snowsuits. Luckily for us, they were having a President's Day Sale and one-piece snowsuits were half-off.<br /><br />*Kimi found a treasure--an <span style="font-size:180%;">owl</span> sweater--that earned us an invitation by a visiting hockey team to their game that evening.<br /><br />*lunch/affirmation--somehow we started saying why we liked or what we admired about someone and it started out as a joke but then by the end, it got kind of mushy. there were tears. <span style="font-size:180%;">love</span> these gals.<br /><br />*DI outfits on, we went to an afternoon matinee of "Valentine's Day". it was quite a site seeing us walk across the street<br /><br />*dinner at Despo's--formerly Desperado's<br /><br />*Sun Valley Suns vs. <span style="font-size:180%;">Missoula Cutthroats</span> hockey game.

However, this year, while still not at the top of my list, they've been pretty awesome.<br /><br />here's a recap of the last month or so.....<br /><br />1. work party with my friend Jared. He cleans up real nice and he was a good sport to hang with the work peeps and the crazy lady running around making sure everything was going ok... it was a smashing success. some say our best yet. we had a performing group come in that pretended to be waiters and then just jumps into this whole opera duel/perfomance thing. it was pretty good.<br /><br /></div></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436742647121951074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/S3MwoejruWI/AAAAAAAACeg/eYp3c5-ck4g/s400/N%26J+SCP+Christmas+party.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 305px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436742657012023154" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/S3MwpDZqP3I/AAAAAAAACeo/omaVkAbaNCQ/s400/N%26J+scp+party2.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;">there's really no reason to post this pic other than i loved the big flower in my hair<br /><br /></div></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436742669462914914" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/S3MwpxyLx2I/AAAAAAAACew/onlTBulMPoI/s400/N%26J+scp+party3.jpg" /><br /><br />2. Christmas with the Dunns--they were so great to adopt me into their family Christmas<br /><br />3. NYE with the gals and fellas at K's house. mega twister and a pyramid really were the highlight of the evening. first activity of the New Year-IHOP.

Sledding—first time I’ve sledded in YEARS. It was a lot more fun than I remembered—just glad no one got hurt.

Bear Lake with the gals over MLK weekend. might be one of my favorite trips to date. we ate, and slept in, put on fake tatoos, played rock band, wore one-piece snow suits, hung with Bob at Glady's place (convenience store) while we played Lotto tickets, and most importantly, participated in the Bear Lake Monster III--a challenging obstacle/relay race. Here is this year's course:<br />1. jump off mini-tramp--doing some sort of trick/pose in the air<br />2. walk sideways, with your eyes closed across the balance beam<br />3. fill a bucket with snow<br />4. search for yellow ping pong ball in baby pool full of snow<br />5. run around a tree<br />6. snow angel<br />7. run up the stairs to the deck, crawl in children's cardboard fort<br />8. with your two teammates, eat one snack bag of chocolate pretzels and drink one can of soda*<br />9. run off the deck and through the tunnel made of boogie boards<br />10. grad your sled, run up the hill<br />11. make a train with your 2 teammates and sled down the hill<br />12. jump up and throw your hands in the air.<br /><br />*way harder than you think.<br /><br />Also, a pirate/musketeer mask had to worn by one member of the team at all times--we rotated between the 3 of us.<br /><br />We were the first team to go so we were at a bit of a disadvantage. we were so disappointed in ourselves, we did it AGAIN. and we would have had the best time on our 2nd run but our sledding went terribly awry. oh well. it just wasn't in the cards for the Dirty Girls. maybe next time at Bear Lake Monster IV.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/S3Na8Z7WW0I/AAAAAAAACng/poxpYJlMAqM/s1600-h/DSC05371.JPG"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Molly and Kimi's birthdays: For Molly, we had a big dinner at the DODO and saw Dear John. it was okay--hated the ending. Happy Birthday Molly! and for Kimi (don't judge us) we had a funeral. When we went to St. George back in October, we went to that Mexican restaurant in Beaver that advertises with a very tall off-the freeway sign that simply reads MEXICAN FOOD. Kimi was somewhat lamenting her approaching 31st birthday and something like "I might as well be having a funeral" came out. So right then and there, her funeral was planned out on the back of a MEXICAN FOOD paper place mat. All the ladies participated and we held it in my spare bedroom which luckily for us houses an old organ. They really should take away my key to the church but 12 padded Relief Society chairs, a lace doily, and a podium really set the scene. A luncheon that even the compassionate service committee couldn't top was served and it was really just a fine afternoon. I realize this is somewhat creepy but to know us is to love us! it was done in good taste and was a joke from start to finish.

An angel visited shepherds in the field and brought "good tidings of great joy." These shepherds left their fields to go out and find the Christ child. Three wise men followed a star in the east that led them also to find Him. And they offered him gifts. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">As I think about this holiday season, I stop and wonder how, in our time and in our day, do we seek after the Savior and what gifts do we offer him? We won't trek across fields nor follow a star in the east, but we each have our own journey in finding and coming to know Christ. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I think we can find Jesus in the everday, almost unconscious things we do and and also in the things we see others do and in the kindness that is shown to each and every one of us. For me, this season, I've seen many gifts offered to the Savior through service and through good company. I've seen it in delivering cookies to a handicapped friend who seemingly gets ignored at home, in crying with a friend as her parents leave on a mission, in throwing in 50 cents here and there for a bellringer at a grocery, in a ward service auction, where we auctioned off one of our own just for a little bit of extra money, in watching a holiday movie with a group of really great friends, in a parking lot attendant who let us park without a permit so we wouldn't be late and turned away for a Christmas concert, in being a Secret Santa, in giving up a really great parking space to a mom in a minivan, even if you saw the space first, in putting in an extra $10 or $20 for a family in need instead of getting that new pair of shoes, in riding in a wagon on a group date to chat and look at Christmas lights, in an anonymous Christmas card, in a ward temple trip at 7 AM the Saturday before Christmas, in singing carols at a retirement community to a grateful widow named Pearl, in spending time with friends and family, even if only through a phone call, and in a hundred different ways unique to you and me. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news to all men. And the goodness that is in our hearts, the goodness we show to others and the goodness shown to us will be how we are remembered and be evidence of how we sought after Christ and offered him our gifts. That good news heralded in so many years ago is the same good news today. "I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be unto all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:10-11 & 14) </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">May joy and peace find you this holiday season and may we all continue to be the wise men who seek after the Savior. Long after the cookies have been eaten, and the parking lots have emptied, and the carols have faded, may we continue to seek after and find the Christ child. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Merry Christmas to you and yours wherever you may be!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">xoxo</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">NJ</span>fancy nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14346822514284917554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869742087890130248.post-85955337059230408882009-12-17T12:45:00.000-07:002009-12-17T15:16:24.983-07:00this is how we do it<span style="font-family:georgia;">this is how we roll in our family:</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">(text I received from Les last night)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Mass and Market Street Grill for the 24th.

Here's a brief recap of the last month:<br /><br />1. ward powder puff football. it's funny how vicious some of the relief society ladies can get on a Saturday morning on the football field. i was a proud member of the grey wuffs (ooowwwuuu). we ended up taking second place, losing in the championship round to the yellow fever. I sadly, had to miss this game, but loved every second of playing when i was there. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZ3G0CE0I/AAAAAAAACW4/1hudqb8YXis/s1600-h/13457_186388278581_733858581_3838386_1017151_n.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399985125217932098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZ3G0CE0I/AAAAAAAACW4/1hudqb8YXis/s400/13457_186388278581_733858581_3838386_1017151_n.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> the grey wuffs sans a few people</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZ2yA9LYI/AAAAAAAACWw/G-GuuXH0p8w/s1600-h/13457_186388313581_733858581_3838390_8254083_n.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399985119634992514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZ2yA9LYI/AAAAAAAACWw/G-GuuXH0p8w/s400/13457_186388313581_733858581_3838390_8254083_n.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> team huddle</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuy5X-UI/AAAAAAAACWo/-BJ2p_k9eto/s1600-h/13457_186403463581_733858581_3838530_7002987_n.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399984982432676162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuy5X-UI/AAAAAAAACWo/-BJ2p_k9eto/s400/13457_186403463581_733858581_3838530_7002987_n.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> the serious pose</span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><div align="left"><br /><br />2. road trip to Las Vegas for the BYU-UNLV game. it was a quick trip but fun, nonetheless. night games are my favorite and a cougar victory is well worth the drive.<br /></div></span><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuqSso4I/AAAAAAAACWg/weLGzhznMzU/s1600-h/7323_158293741850_621741850_3318862_4357218_n.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399984980122968962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuqSso4I/AAAAAAAACWg/weLGzhznMzU/s400/7323_158293741850_621741850_3318862_4357218_n.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> it's vegas-you have to</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuDWpfmI/AAAAAAAACWY/DgNhOlfK9TE/s1600-h/7323_158293696850_621741850_3318855_1377187_n.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399984969670557282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SvCZuDWpfmI/AAAAAAAACWY/DgNhOlfK9TE/s400/7323_158293696850_621741850_3318855_1377187_n.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> go cougs!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><div align="left"><br /><br />3. i had a softball tournament the entire weekend phil was in town.

He always wants your blackberry, iphone, camera, etc...but computers are his favorite. Matt and I both have the same white Mac and when either of us flips it open and turns it on, M will stop, put down anything he's got and immediately come over to see what is on the screen and how many buttons he can push. It's like the on sound is a homing beacon--the mothership calling to him. :) Well, Les dug out Matt's old laptop and the kid was in heaven. We just might have the next Steve Jobs on our hands....</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SsO5E0koP8I/AAAAAAAACRA/8Ln6GMSmzzE/s1600-h/summer+stuff+040.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387353071748136898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4vOxfwvLbj8/SsO5E0koP8I/AAAAAAAACRA/8Ln6GMSmzzE/s400/summer+stuff+040.jpg" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">I could have used an action man last night. I'm sitting on the couch watching TV when something started buzzing and flying about my head. It was a hornet!! How did a hornet get in? I don't know. but i freaked. I shot off the couch running back and forth between the kitchen and living room until i could see it again convinced this thing was either on me or in my hair. i attempted to kill it a few times which only angered it, forcing me to repeat the kitchen/living room dance. i'm not sure why i thought high knees were necessary to get away but.... it finally landed on my ceiling and since my little house has ceilings made for 5 ft individuals, me and my grey wedge were victorious.</span><br /></div><div></div>fancy nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14346822514284917554noreply@blogger.com0
