Posting from my iPod touch

Phil gave me a new iPod touch for my birthday!! This was totally unexpected but totally worth it. Part of the present was that he got himself one too so we can facetime while he's in Chicago. If you haven't seen the iPhone commercials about FaceTime I suggest you look them up!! I LOVE THIS THING!

Phil Singer is published in Oxford University Press!!!

No really, the words Phil Singer are in print! See?

Phil did research for Richard Davis, a political science professor at BYU, on political blogging, and he was recognized in his book under acknowledgments. Notice the names are given in alphabetical order, but I'm pretty sure that if they were given in order of importance Phil would fall in the top three...Davis just wanted to make sure no one's feeling's were hurt. : ) Just Kidding! But really, pretty cool that he's mentioned.

I'm not entirely sure the exact work that Phil did, I just know it took a long time and he monopolized my computer sometimes, but regardless, I am proud of him!

Yummmm

This picture speaks for itself

Aren't I the best wife?

I'm going to blog about this because I'm so excited about the sweet deal that I got.

For valentines day I got Phil this watch. (No worries, I'm not ruining the surprise. I gave it to him when it came in the mail...I couldn't wait!) Isn't it lovely?
For those of you who know Phil, he's kind of hard to buy for (or maybe easy depending on the way you look at it). Whenever I ask him what he would like, he always says "I don't need anything" or "whatever" or "you're all I want" (this last one is my particular favorite...isn't he sweet?) Well if you know Phil, then you also know that he loves watches. A while back, Morgan (of Ramblings of Morgan Hawley, married to the ever so wonderful Val, father of Finners...) found a nice Invicta watch while hiking or biking or something or other in Provo. The watch was a little big for Morgan, so he gifted it to Phil. Phil loves this watch, and has worn it ever since. Lately he's been having problems with the pins coming out that keep the watch face fastened to the strap. He's had to have them replaced a few times, which by the way has actually given us the opportunity to get to know our local Jeweler. Very friendly. So finally, I had THE perfect gift idea...a new Invicta watch, another color option and one that has intact pins. I was floored when I searched amazon and found that they have FANTASTIC prices on Invicta watches! Anyway, Phil loved it!

Thanks Morgan for introducing us to Invicta!

The Tall Guy in the Back

If you notice closely you'll notice that the tall guy in the back of this lovely choir is none other than Phil Singer. Luckily Phil was wearing his red cashmere sweater (thanks mom) that day so he fit perfectly in with this holiday group of singers at the Beaver Dam Community Hospital. Luckily for us someone at the hospital was kind enough to scan this and send it to Phil. Apparently Phil was walking down the halls of the hospital one day and he noticed a choir forming so he joined. I always wonder what he does for fun in Wisconsin every week!

This is the problem with having two different blogs...I get them mixed up when I'm writing posts. This is a blog post I had intended to post on here...but it ended up over here. Enjoy!

Online Sample Sale Shopping

Ok, so I belong to LOTS of invitation only sample sale websites. I'm not sure WHY...I mean I haven't bought anything yet, but maybe in the future it will be a beneficial relationship for me. Anywhoooo...

I just joined the site called Rue La La. For example, today they are having sales for Tahari, Spanx, and Laundry by Shelli Segal to name a few. Anyway, if you sign up (HERE) before Oct. 10th you get a $10 credit added to your account to use toward anything you purchase on the site. I would take advantage of this deal. I mean it's like free money!


Here are the other sites I belong to:

www.ideeli.com: I think this is my favorite site of all of them. One day they had a Cuisinart sample sale! I laughed at first, then thought "wow, that's a great price for that blender!" They also had a Kate Spade sale a couple weeks ago...nothing to complain about there.
www.beyondtherack.com
www.gilt.com
www.secretstyle.com: They have health and beauty sales. If you want an invite to this one, let me know.

The Ole' Ball and Chain

Since it's the eve of our 3rd Anniversary, I thought I would post a blag (brag+blog?). I know Phil won't be happy about this...but here it goes.

Phil has been working from home more lately, so he's been taking on more of the dinner preparation. Usually he consults me on things and asks me how to do this or that, but the other day I was not consulted about anything and I came home to this masterpiece. Look how he cutely arranged the broccoli!

It was a delicious chicken penne broccoli alfredo casserole. The brown stuff on top is Parmesan cheese! He layered in the cheese throughout the dish to give a yummy creaminess. And it was great for lunch the next day too.
