Affair with COD

LOL.  I didn't know what to title this entry.  I had a few other titles in mind.  Like "I hate you COD"  or "COD is his bestfriend"  or "Go to Hell COD"  bwahaha.  But honestly I don't hate you that much.  Let me tell you about COD.  COD is my husbands love.  He spends countless hours with COD.  He'll wake up in the middle of the night to play with COD.  He stays up late at night to be with COD.  Sometimes will even miss dinners with the family to be with COD.  We could be eating saimin for the week, but he will find someway to buy the newest COD out there.  Do you know who COD is?  It is that stupid xbox 360 game Call of Duty. 
The newest version or series or whatever the heck you wanna call it, came out today.  "Black Ops"  People lined up worldwide at midnight to buy this game.  It cost $60 freekin buckaroos.  You know I could have used that for something for the whole entire family. 
As much as I dislike COD and all the many versions of it, I still allow my husband to buy and play it.  Really I probably overexaggerated his addiction to COD.  But he really does love his online gaming time.  Sometimes a bit to much for me. 
I really shouldn't complain though.  When he's playing his game, I'm on the laptop blogging, facebooking and surfing all over the net and all...  So I'm just as much a gamer as he is...No I'm Not!! LOL.

It really is sad...

....When I feel like I get most things around the house done on the sabbath.  Like today.  I was up early, but instead of studying the sunday school or young women lesson, I start to clean up my room.  It leads to cleaning my daughters room.  Then the living room.  The bathrooms.  The kitchen.  The week is busy hectic that Sunday's is the only day we are all home and can get things done.  So by the time 3 o'clock rolls around, I'm too tired and distracted to even think about church.  Thats been the way for the past month.
...I was determined today (of course still had my struggles) to get the family to church.  Proud we finally made it.  And as we drove home from church today, I could not help but feel happy and proud that we made it.  I love the spirit I felt today and the testimonies and lessons taught.  I love how the spirit moves and inspires me.
...Will be praying extra extra hard that this week I can be more productive and organized that I can really enjoy the sabbath day, as it truely is meant to be.  The
...Happy Sabbath to you all!!!!  BTW..Happy Birthday to my sis Rissa Tuinei.  Love ya sis and hope you enjoyed your birthday!

Julie & Julia....look what you've put in my head!!!

I just finished watching this movie.  It was highly rated on Netflix.  Figured I'd check it out.  I really enjoyed it.  Julie was soo determined.  But of course had her melt downs but the success she has now made it all worth it.  Love it!!  Well I thought, I wonder if I could possibly set a goal like that and stick to it.  Cooking wise.  Well I thought and decided, I can't.  Bwahahaha.  With my kids in school, their extra activities and lessons, my job, church calling, mother/wife duties I possibly couldn't cook 500 something recipes in 365 days.  Not to mention the budget you'd need to cook from a cook book everyday.  I soooo do not have that kinda of  money.  So I thought, well maybe I could find a smaller cook book and aim to cook my family a nice HEALTHY home cooked meal (the works) once a week.  Yeah, I'm sad that I don't already do that now.  So I am going to attempt that.  I hope to do it for the rest of our lives...hehehe  And maybe it'll just turn into twice or three times a week.  Hehehe.  So here I go on my cooking journey.  Well gotta go buy some chicken for koga'i today...hehehe...
