I always remember thinking that adults were so cheesy when they would talk about how fast time goes, but here I am saying that phrase... a lot! It is amazing when I realize that we are almost through October and approaching the holidays. I just got my big <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Aveda</span> shipment of all out holiday packages to sell as gifts. They are very beautiful this year with yellow, red and black hand stamped paper boxes from Nepal. We will be putting up our display November 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">nd</span>, along with the salon tree and holiday decorations.<br />I am excited for Ozarks open house this coming Saturday! Ozarks is a great antique store here in Anchorage that always has beautiful little treasures. It is dangerous for me to go there because I can always find something I "need".<br /><br />Lucy has her mind made up that she wants to be a chicken for Halloween. She says, "My be a chicken for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Halween</span>, please!"<br />She has the funniest phrases lately. Her new favorite toy is a lizard that she calls a wizard. It is a little red lizard that she got at her friend's birthday party as a little favor five weeks ago. It is now missing all of it's legs and soon, I fear, will loose it's tail too. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Luckilly</span> I think those grow back.<br /><br />We went to Ronnie's Sushi a few weeks ago and she was amazed at who was sitting next to us. She looked up at a man with long hair and a beard who was walking in and with big eyes looked at me and said, "Jesus!"<br /><br />She has been telling me that she wants a little brother. Wonder who prompted that? ...Bradford?<br /><br />When she tries to get Bradford's attention she doesn't yell daddy, she yells, "BRA-FERD!"<br /><br />I promise to post pictures of my little chicken.<br /><br />HAPPY HALLOWEEN, bock, bock style!<br /><br /></p>megallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18444310665741748439noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040932499029589536.post-63609116928149932682008-08-04T22:30:00.000-05:002008-08-04T22:35:50.205-05:00Trip to Fairbanks...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoI_w5rqUiDbH6iQ6k6Vh3XAclyFzOeSY82sxk7ECnVYlQw8-FMRyhhwWcdWmyrasG29OQG6OrCXfu250pw6QzJ4Z3dSJNjVONndM9z1iffJnO_N3ueqoKzEtBK5b7AkK8_mH9Wst7-F_3/s1600-h/DSCN5633.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230872006040708482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoI_w5rqUiDbH6iQ6k6Vh3XAclyFzOeSY82sxk7ECnVYlQw8-FMRyhhwWcdWmyrasG29OQG6OrCXfu250pw6QzJ4Z3dSJNjVONndM9z1iffJnO_N3ueqoKzEtBK5b7AkK8_mH9Wst7-F_3/s400/DSCN5633.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvM7JwKk1g8I8ql9NwnMh8gULt5D1yz9i6Bbcks4SfqsAXorHAy5fw-aXfzM4gbLXiefGCfuTSEBZH6UVQ1Q7c2ck19Q3J1O7dKYt0rBxQdC5JITfrYyaz1kz8TPFT9xZIL8kO6Y8CvoJ/s1600-h/DSCN5649.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230872019908531026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvM7JwKk1g8I8ql9NwnMh8gULt5D1yz9i6Bbcks4SfqsAXorHAy5fw-aXfzM4gbLXiefGCfuTSEBZH6UVQ1Q7c2ck19Q3J1O7dKYt0rBxQdC5JITfrYyaz1kz8TPFT9xZIL8kO6Y8CvoJ/s400/DSCN5649.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2yn9RjTpBIGoEGrmLT0I98JDsbCWlyWzlXMA1BvHwWiC3Q8UGANC0sbDGLZpJ6rlU7_n9Sph4hNCLNXymTXA9W4GndKqTLGMpAFbyCz6oJWAUJwPJkeeKxNEaoO19vuV9Wuy4AK2CM0C/s1600-h/DSCN5627.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230872029084503218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2yn9RjTpBIGoEGrmLT0I98JDsbCWlyWzlXMA1BvHwWiC3Q8UGANC0sbDGLZpJ6rlU7_n9Sph4hNCLNXymTXA9W4GndKqTLGMpAFbyCz6oJWAUJwPJkeeKxNEaoO19vuV9Wuy4AK2CM0C/s400/DSCN5627.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7LlshK8f9Wgz4jWSLFMim5OVpiNMhA5qrqGEl-XXHsnA6YeMFkq-8HFE1bJGzhodQXD3DSbApRCzGI1290A-0mcb_VQHRryZyesCBvnirZf6rpTRoTqdW3qB95ptUbvuZZRdV2k60AV4/s1600-h/DSCN5661.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230872040101000626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7LlshK8f9Wgz4jWSLFMim5OVpiNMhA5qrqGEl-XXHsnA6YeMFkq-8HFE1bJGzhodQXD3DSbApRCzGI1290A-0mcb_VQHRryZyesCBvnirZf6rpTRoTqdW3qB95ptUbvuZZRdV2k60AV4/s400/DSCN5661.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3_cxk6XZxoCuhdbIVhivNxdgNrDW712tjmM4FhCEqnk_IMfhlxrBbln-uKInLwkK8UmtfgOjAh80IHzQEoa-cywyY9swXKcJbCaKx2Yr8x2-9qxZ-KR6metPO8S0m3bSv9PMOGZaihGGX/s1600-h/DSCN5704.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230872045304336706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3_cxk6XZxoCuhdbIVhivNxdgNrDW712tjmM4FhCEqnk_IMfhlxrBbln-uKInLwkK8UmtfgOjAh80IHzQEoa-cywyY9swXKcJbCaKx2Yr8x2-9qxZ-KR6metPO8S0m3bSv9PMOGZaihGGX/s400/DSCN5704.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>megallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18444310665741748439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040932499029589536.post-73226748664227875732008-08-03T18:36:00.004-05:002008-08-03T19:09:14.531-05:00July in pictures...<div>July in Anchorage was been pretty depressing.

I have tried to enjoy each day with my little squirt. I wonder if I will learn to understand the phrase "terrible two", or if it will all turn out to be a myth just like having cracked bleeding nipples from nursing. Not that I don't think some moms do have that unfortunate misfortune of bloody boobies... but so far pregnancy, labor, newborn world and toddler days have all been less 'by the book' than I thought they would be. All things considered, I feel really lucky that Lucy is pretty easy going and very fun to hang out with.</div><br /><div>This morning when I went in to wake Lucy up she was in a foul mood and she just buried her face in her pillow and told me ..."nooooooooo, momma. nooooooo"</div><br /><div>I knew how she felt, because I didn't want to get out of bed either... but the day was starting and we needed to get up. The whole morning was a struggle and included her first real tantrum. Rolling around on the living room floor and covering her face while she yelled toddler jargon obscenities at me which included but were not limited to, NO, MINE, SAD and GO OUTSIDE.</div><br /><div>It was an interesting morning to say the least and hopefully not my introduction to the terrible twos! Bedtime tonight was an hour earlier and hopefully that will cure the morning meltdowns!</div>megallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18444310665741748439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040932499029589536.post-66237274763333143462008-06-13T14:14:00.003-05:002008-06-13T14:19:13.127-05:00My excuse...So, I have been really lagging with the blog posts.<br />This is my excuse...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.megallensalon.com/">www.megallensalon.com</a><br /><br />Come check it out and I will update you on everything while I highlight your hair.megallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18444310665741748439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040932499029589536.post-13308318938497439782008-01-31T02:32:00.000-05:002008-01-31T02:38:54.446-05:00HOLY COW!Well, it is official!

It gets dark here at three o'clock every day in the winter, and then watching the ball drop at eight o'clock on the east coast... you might as well go to bed!<br />We did stay up to ring in the new year... just barely though. (we are getting old)<br /><br />As for New Years resolutions, I've decided that I am done setting myself up for failure. I had good intentions of sitting down and writing out every last detail of things I would start doing, things I would STOP eating and drinking... ect. And then I realized that my list is the same every year and I am still a procrastinator, I'm still chubby, I am still unorganized and I am still lazy. I think this year I just need to embrace my habits and maybe just learn to love myself the way I am.<br /><br />I did get to the gym today, along with the rest of Anchorage. There were so many people with good intentions! I loved seeing them be able to check off one thing on their new TO DO list of 2008. <br /><br />We had such a wonderful Christmas with our family in Maple Valley, Washington. All of my husband's siblings and spouses were there. It was the first time ALL the siblings were together in eight years I think. We really enjoyed seeing everyone and it was especially good to see the five little cousins all play together. Lucy had a blast, and she was inspired by the three cousins older than her to start walking!

DOWN! She has been giving everyone dirty looks, and I mean everyone! Everywhere we go people get frowned at by little miss scowl! I actually thought it was quite funny until today when we were at JC Pennys Portrait Studio and the photographer was practically standing on her head to try to get Lucy to crack a smile.

Lucy was mesmerized by all the action and by the little men gliding around on the floor. Sometimes I just wonder what she is thinking when she is experiencing something for the first time. I mean, how weird would it be if you didn't understand the concept of ice and you saw people skating. Not to mention the ice was PINK for Breast cancer awareness month. It was pretty freaky even for me! The crowd was exactly what I would expect at a hockey game in Alaska... and I will stop there! he he...megallenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18444310665741748439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040932499029589536.post-18430662982889853352007-10-19T18:46:00.000-05:002007-10-19T19:17:05.139-05:00Moved in for ONE MONTH!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiopXn4jR4j5wFreGcdCtgNvqnz62Aa7INveEXC3wEAB4endnObV6BNLE9uXKTNW4l9Y5RITSx_G5pxWxsI4BycyXhhO2JVsm1uyegmvmdXZQZ_KT5BK7Jq2jmYKEBdTy5N765R21HFUN/s1600-h/sept+20-oct+19+049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123201979405565042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiopXn4jR4j5wFreGcdCtgNvqnz62Aa7INveEXC3wEAB4endnObV6BNLE9uXKTNW4l9Y5RITSx_G5pxWxsI4BycyXhhO2JVsm1uyegmvmdXZQZ_KT5BK7Jq2jmYKEBdTy5N765R21HFUN/s400/sept+20-oct+19+049.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAsSyOCudvNZx8NICBhp8F3Murbe4V0X8DfPupfkqiI4njao9qEWumIn1z1y8sWN6hL0nExZqNsFNXiPUpjvq_poTrA9Z2wMEYEQceoXZT8grJth2HUfpfD82BBQWChKBes0fNHvDqpdEj/s1600-h/sept+20-oct+19+052.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123201983700532354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAsSyOCudvNZx8NICBhp8F3Murbe4V0X8DfPupfkqiI4njao9qEWumIn1z1y8sWN6hL0nExZqNsFNXiPUpjvq_poTrA9Z2wMEYEQceoXZT8grJth2HUfpfD82BBQWChKBes0fNHvDqpdEj/s400/sept+20-oct+19+052.jpg" border="0" /></a> Tomorrow it will be our month mark for being moved into our house here on P street. We love our neighborhood, our neighbors and now that we got a storage unit, we are loving our house too! We have a lot less square footage than our last house and I am somewhat of a pack-rat, so we have lots of "stuff". Hmmmm, does anyone have a better sounding word than pack-rat for people like me? I don't think it is fair to put that label on myself, since I am a lot better than I used to be. Plus, I have really managed to get somewhat organized and I am pretty clean... I just have a lot of clutter. I am a really good stacker. You should see my workbench in the garage, just give me a shelf and I can make a lot of stuff fit up on it.<br />So, anyways, back to P street... We live a couple blocks from the inlet, and Anchorage has this fabulous trail system that runs all through the city. We have access to the Coastal trail and all the connecting city trails as well. The city grooms them for Xcountry skiing in the winter and they are a great place to walk, run, bike and roller blade in the summer. The scenery here is so amazing, some views look fake! These are pictures taken at the park a couple of blocks from our house on the coastal trail. All the neighbors are telling us how much fun it is when this lake freezes. The city maintains it as a ice skating rink and they even put fire-barrels out to warm up your hands. I want to get some ice skates!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gfRbt4ni9-r9OHMqXj0LkDCKNOqttz-pIbSJzx06_-juI7te6r6XbqnrbZlakAZ5_lJ_eZS7p3Hqfb1ggfpcNO_3gg4hI2NFQpPJ7F37QfFP_42a3pY_gaDgSLbMxc4Ck2YZsRHMHpem/s1600-h/sept+20-oct+19+080.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123201992290466962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gfRbt4ni9-r9OHMqXj0LkDCKNOqttz-pIbSJzx06_-juI7te6r6XbqnrbZlakAZ5_lJ_eZS7p3Hqfb1ggfpcNO_3gg4hI2NFQpPJ7F37QfFP_42a3pY_gaDgSLbMxc4Ck2YZsRHMHpem/s400/sept+20-oct+19+080.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7-6XOxnzTlKtQ0JUrX8OBFPhIR1CG37t7hIO9LAh6UYSxQCv5b6j-lMZzUGf_XgOVhIaP3QZvMyGO2htvKh6vSRdEhTJm0g6Z8KT5UJzVmhaT30yX_Nffd0MZGqJWrcRHUaTbiWCOZwZ/s1600-h/sept+20-oct+19+082.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123201996585434274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7-6XOxnzTlKtQ0JUrX8OBFPhIR1CG37t7hIO9LAh6UYSxQCv5b6j-lMZzUGf_XgOVhIaP3QZvMyGO2htvKh6vSRdEhTJm0g6Z8KT5UJzVmhaT30yX_Nffd0MZGqJWrcRHUaTbiWCOZwZ/s400/sept+20-oct+19+082.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjumlH8JMaGGeeyHXvZu8VLi-xmNZ9rT_1-5rTDPnamC7I_97wayyoCFTkYP8bJnlhhEcjJNMhZZwxKiv2SVgj05RMaGbGtkdabF6fpw7RvE4NAMYqRtWFYO-ygJ8XoAUQxRU5OT3P_KMVf/s1600-h/sept+20-oct+19+081.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123202000880401586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjumlH8JMaGGeeyHXvZu8VLi-xmNZ9rT_1-5rTDPnamC7I_97wayyoCFTkYP8bJnlhhEcjJNMhZZwxKiv2SVgj05RMaGbGtkdabF6fpw7RvE4NAMYqRtWFYO-ygJ8XoAUQxRU5OT3P_KMVf/s400/sept+20-oct+19+081.jpg" border="0" /></a> We have really settled in quick.

Nobody told me that fall, which is usually my favorite season, only lasts one week. It is true... I was just starting to notice and enjoy the colors a few days ago and now all the leaves are on the ground. And it is cold and rainy. The locals are all telling me that the first snow fall is usually the third week in October.

We said our goodbyes and then took a few days to relax before we hit the road. Lucy was in UT with her Mimi and Puppy (thanks again Mom and Dad.) After a nice weekend of eating out at all thoes "non-kidfriendly" resturaunts and a great room at Hotel Palomar in Dupont Circle, we were ready to paint "Alaska or BUST" on our trusty 1991 Volvo Wagon and head directly for Kansas City.</p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114206677210233858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjLEH4t-6dgT0uV0MqLo67lIzTVLZ8DFmD4s6EUij8Ld-jx8fjKD_zZFUeEJfhaiMk7ox2HcmM4Ez7Y2-K0fmWk7LtXTU8dzUnMBghOE6wqjMPqhTILnnCQq7wZulTkDRI-kICzwy8cHm/s400/DSCN2915.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114206668620299250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIBht8LGVVByVWUR5-9GcB1vsHcGNEtvglqj0_X9xzTxnsaK_bw0g_a_UE1pIFNWhX4UiYIUdSg1Uuxniom8HI2iOCPT-CHFvSDBJCBpQ4jRYMm5jFegDGtekbl7zEtrr7MAV7_9CTwaBL/s400/DSCN2907.jpg" border="0" />We got to Kimball's cute house about 17 hours later, just as the sun was coming up. It worked out nicely as he was getting out of bed, we jumped in. After a few hours of sleep we saw the city, met neighbors, took the Volvo in for a check up, got locked out of the house, ate at a great dumpling bar and went shopping at a Vintage Clothing store called Boomerang... whew! We only had 24 hours with K, so we had to cram it all in! It was a great stop, and I really liked KC.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs76ASMRekgvmAv96dF03r7YI-X46rPp8E9G1b6wpTeGKNiqOh9gCYHj76OOMGe-oo7STkaU77Nl_6UlvDjhyphenhyphendWgB6RsFiq5aIYq1OhJH_VOE9PBKJp5xEdEEJujVZEpz9pd5xzffLjC14/s1600-h/DSCN2881.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114206664325331938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs76ASMRekgvmAv96dF03r7YI-X46rPp8E9G1b6wpTeGKNiqOh9gCYHj76OOMGe-oo7STkaU77Nl_6UlvDjhyphenhyphendWgB6RsFiq5aIYq1OhJH_VOE9PBKJp5xEdEEJujVZEpz9pd5xzffLjC14/s400/DSCN2881.jpg" border="0" /></a> The next morning we got up and drove to UT. About 17 more hours in the car we thought Kansas would never end! We were happy to pull into Heber and see our sweet Lucy asleep at Mimi and Puppy's house. We caught a few hours of sleep and then woke up to spend time with my family. </p><p>We had to leave Heber earlier than we had hoped because our ferry plans changed. We stopped in Layton for a yummy dinner with Graham, Emily, McKay, and the twins. We all went to a Real soccer game and then Bradford, Lucy and I headed for Pocatello.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114393418093296658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6l-w5yAHFV5_sXeI2TfVcXzYDzsUV9ETY5m3R545qGppQnFnC3f4JTNMYDP9VazhmfjdFoEgiMHUUS1zpt5aEvHuk0I-UWJso4MkZKQdoPnRDnYB40QkW0gEI7ruYklJkM9wPFLFC-FJ/s400/DSCN3010.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114393426683231266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3tpTsrishVC1GAmVdVgJO7If-TKVELa_gc7YTukcfj33tD6KIMlGh5qheLEpsD6qBHyypOk6Xt01AIxCoXivUQNYb8EIWahM10koJ6aUY-3cGnLBdSmEFqZqVoLKbOJS0h-bI__0whSm/s400/DSCN3023.JPG" border="0" />It was great to see everyone in Pocatello.
