So, to start off with: Our house in Lehi/Eagle Mountain is almost done! It looks like we should be living in it already from the outside! I love it! So hopefully we will get to move in! Take a look:
Next on the agenda: Irrational fears! Everyone's got'em: midgets (yes, you, Heather :), spiders (totally understand that one), heights, small spaces, needles..the list goes on and on. Some make sense and some don't. I googled phobias and found some really weird ones: Pentheraphobia (fear of mother-in-laws!! And just to be clear, I am NOT afraid of my mother-in-law..I like her very much. And seeing as it's her birthday today: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNE!), Spectrophobia, which is fear of looking in mirrors..which I can actually understand, too, especially in the dark. ANYWHO, the thing that started this all: I have an irrational fear of LARGE WEEDS! I don't know why, but they freak me out in a very real way! So, this morning, I was weeding our front little garden and decided to 'conquer' this fear by trying to pull the GINORMOUS weeds growing behind our AC unit. I got all psyched up to grab this thick, spiny, leafy, grotesque parasite....and all I succeeded in doing is scaring our dog and a neighbor kid biking by, by yelping loudly and jumping a couple feet up and away from the weed the second I got my fingers around it! Yup, that's me: a big wuss! So I pulled all the small weeds in our back and side gardens and Jeff is going to have to be the man of our marriage and save me from the big weeds! Pathetic :) Oh, and in case you're wondering..I looked for 'fear of weeds'. The closest I found was Anthrophobia: Fear of flowers. But I like flowers. So, here's to fear of large weeds! And to wishing, praying, and hoping that Jeff and I will get to move into our house..where I will have lots and lots of large weeds to look forward to pulling!
