Xs and Os

I wish it were Valentine's weekend every day!

Started the love fest by opening a beautiful orchid
that Nate had delivered to my office on Friday...

and Nate was very happy about the Iron Gym
he has been wanting, As Seen on TV!
(i realized that I cannot even do one pull-up....not even one)


Then we had a tasty dinner at Rice....
(we suggest you go there)

Sunday we cooked dinner together, cuddled on the couch
and watched the Olympics,
and fed each other our homemade
chocolate covered strawberries.



I had a bunch of chocolate leftover so we started dipping whatever we could find...
blueberries--sort of slimy and not my favorite,
apricots-- tasty,
and Milano Mint Cookies--delicious!
(We made a few coconut choco strawberries too and they were sort of odd)

Hope your day was lovely!

Dear Gangsters,

Did you know that when you tag someone's fence it may make that person sad, angry, frustrated, and/or upset? It may make them wonder if you have a conscience, if you even think about how hard other people have to work to pay for that nice white fence, and it may make that person daydream about spraying mace in your eyes just for fun. It may also make that person wonder if you had a hard childhood, if you had to dropout of school and get a job to help make ends meet, and if being in a gang is possibly the only place you have ever felt loved. It may make that person go throughout their day thinking about all the people in this city and how so many intricate factors have influenced how they see the world. Dear Gangsters, I forgive you.

Dear Graffiti Removal Hot-line,

Thank you to whomever thought up your creation. Thank you for being a free service. Thank you for always coming within 24 hrs of a call and for taking pride in your job. I think you all deserve a hug.

Sincerely,
Jessica Tew

(I'm wearing a wig! Long story...)

It has begun...

The 2010 Utah legislative session starts today...
the next 45 days are going to be exciting and crazy for me! I will be up at the Capitol almost everyday so if anyone has an issue they would like to address with their senator or representative let me know and I can arrange it!
Check out www.le.utah.gov for lots of good info and to track any bills you may be interested in.

ps - you can catch a glimpse of me on the news here
(don't blink or you'll miss me :)
and you can read about what our coalition has been working on here.

"Q"

While we were in Colorado a few weeks ago
my mom and I stopped by one of my favorite stores, The Barn, and
found an awesome rusty "Q" to add to my letter collection.
Can't wait until we have the whole alphabet!

Optical illusion...

this made us giggle:
