Randomness

I'm not very consistent with blogging lately..sorry. I'm sure you all miss my wittiness:) So here are a few random thoughts...

Last week, I was going outside to take the trash to the curb...I was in my sweats. So was my neighbor..he was in those ugly flannel pj bottoms..ya know? Anywho..as we were both taking out our trash, we did the whole neighborly wave and hello...and as I was walking into my house I thought how weird it was..not to wave and say hello (although I'm not sure they are really fond of us for some reason..I mean they totally should be... I am way fun) but it was just one of those weird grown-up moments. Like I forget that I am one..a grown-up that is...and that I have trash to take out..and a house, and a house payment, and four kids, and one more coming, and a husband, and bills, and insurance crap and all that grown-up stuff. So weird! I don't feel like a grown-up. I mean it totally beats high school and the dating years...wouldn't go back to those days..just a moment...

And also on my mind...we are selling our car. We need a bigger one and let me be truthful. We actually considered a minivan (no offense to all you who drive one...I think they are fantastic..just not for us). Actually we really considered it...even took one for a test drive and my kids were enthralled with the automatic doors...but the bottom line is that us Belnaps go up to the mountains...a lot...and  a minivan just won't cut it. So we are in the market for a big, ol', gas-guzzling Suburban. We put our car on KSL on Sunday and have had 2 calls...One guy even came and test drove it and said he was "really interested"..But that could mean crap as far as I'm concerned so we'll see....Here's a pic if you want it or know someone who does...it's been a great car..just outta room

Other thoughts..I am consumed with trying to think of baby names. I'm pretty picky and opinionated about names. Sometimes I think there should be a baby name police..so crazy people can't name their kids things like Bronckston or Shalianna or Thor or other weird names that people can't pronounce..(Sorry if you are reading this and your kid is one of those names) I mean I know people aren't in love with the names I choose but at least they are semi-normal, spelled normal and you can pronounce them. I love names that are different than names that are everywhere like "Ashley" but not too weird that their teachers at school are wondering what parent in their right mind would name their kid "Hash Brown" (true story) So here's the scoop...I like old-fashioned names for girls but not so old like "Ethyl or Alta or Mildred." Truth be told, I look for names in the obituaries..so give me your ideas..think of your Grandmas and let me have it..unless you are too scared too because of this post...you guys get my drift right..ok then...let's hear some names..did I totally offend everyone..Sorry.
