Elysium Touch Massage
My hips have been killing me lately so I finally gave into, my friend Mariah Neesons, suggestion of a massage. GLAD I DID!! I have had many massage therapist friends over the years and still never listen to the advice and get massaged regularly. First I must say if you hope to just leave feeling “relaxed” tell Mariah before you start. When she askes “is anything troubling you?” She means, “I am really going to work that free for you, breath deap!”
My hips feel great, and I am reminded to take care of myself. My day was changed…. I even forgot about an appointment. OH NO… 
Thankfully they did not appear to mind, and they shopped while I scurried downtown. Heh heh….
Massage = Good
Busy Crazy Life = Bad
Of course I am kidding, I really do wish how ever that I would be smart and visit Mariah much more often. Take care of yourself, life is short!
Oh yeah and make sure to Watch “Slumdog Millionaire” by Danny Boyle

Death three days ago
I did not open the office today until very late. Saturdays I try to only be “available,” I checked facebook, which I love and check daily to see how everyone is. My friend lost her husband 3 days ago. He was a fit man, early 30s, with a healthy lifestyle. He lived a fervent life filled with passion and joy. His existence changed lives of many people. He died instantly and the reason is unknown.
This subject is fresh on my mind because I am reading Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which is an account of Abraham Lincoln and Civil War. Life in the 1850s was different than we can imagine, yet oh so similar. Still worldwide people live in cold winters with no electricity and children die. People are left with out food and multitudes die. In 1850 it was commonly believed that fruits and vegetables where not needed, death resulted. Strange medical practices such as thinking depression came from digestive problems where treatment was severe. What will they say of our diseases that kill the masses in 150 years?
Death is something I have already had to face….I no longer fear it, I face the fear associated with, and many times weep. I weep more for the unwarranted death, the multitudes of unwarranted dead. Many who buy into the “Great Global Warming Swindle” are hard from lies telling them there are too many people anyways. This lie is of course coming from the same people who, no doubt, in 1850 would have had slaves…… in many ways they still do.
Lesson: Live life to its fullest! Really it is that simple…. Love

Movie for my Kids
Well I have to admit, I feel there is a direct relation to how my kids are acting and what movies they watch. Certain movie we all may love, Mom doesn’t like the games/behavor that follow. The Sponge Bob Movie creates silly nonsence that leads to tears. The Mupet Treasure Island keeps the piriate theme alive and well in our house. A bit of pirate is fun but the message we are teaching is to “love each other”
So when I come across “helper fixer guy” movies I love them.
1. Meet the Robinsons- My midwife kept telling us to watch this and FINALLY we did. Here is a movie we will buy. Brilliant story of “Keep Moving Forward” The movie is set around an orphan boy inventor. The first time we watched it Nate and I laughed so hard and loud when the “bowler hat guys” controls the frog and dinarsaur that James got mad at us because he could not hear!!!
2. Robots- I loved this. It was brilliant. The underlining theme of the Fathers love towards his son, and “See a Need, Fill a Need” is exactly what we are teaching our kids. The movie was clever and filled with wit, music, and imagination. One thing I was glad to see was how they showed the family side of the “bad guys”

Valentine’s Day Flowers
aNeMonE Paper Flowers, America’s only full scale paper florist, will be selling Valentine’s Day Paper Floral Arrangements February 1st - February 14th, 2nd level River Park Square, near Nordstrom.
A woman named Naomi gave us some beautiful Japanese Washi paper last year. Her mother, a Japanese native, had a passion for paper and quite a collection. The papers are all unique patterns that are not readily available, and many have gold inlay. We were truly blessed and inspired to receive this gift, and would like to “gift on” by donating 25% of the proceeds of these items to the Women and Children’s Free Restaurant in Spokane.

Pictures of the snow storm
Last month we broke the 1950s snow record. The Associated Press said more than 59 inches fell! What a mess. Spokane city used its entire snow removal budget by March of 2008. I suppose Bellingham WA had it worst off seeing they actually sold all of the cities snowplows. They told motorists to “stay home and God Bless.”
I guess this is a good time to admit that YES we are firm supporters of taking care of our planet and reforming us as a nation to not be such sloth, wasteful people….. we don’t however believe the propaganda of the “man made global warming, we are going to destroy the earth” talk. Jim Hansen, Nasa scientist and leading climate expert, so boldly proclaimed this month that Obama has 4 years to save the earth. Here me on this one, this is the same man who in 1971 boldly claimed the earth was going into another ice age due to mans actions and we MUST act now to stop it.
Okay why the change in theory with out a single explanation as to his conclusions. Furthermore when a politician (Al Gore in this case) tells you ALL scientist agree you should question him, especially when he wins a noble peace prize, and has never once debated the other side of the story publicly. Okay if you would really like to hear the other side of the story, check out The Great Global Warming Swindle or you can watch this video
If you haven’t considered the other side of the story now is the time. So here are some pictures of our record snow!!!
One day it warmed up and the snow melted a bit so I dug a hole and we stuck icicles on top to build a castle!
That night it snowed 18″ and covered our castle!!! One cool thing about the snow is that you can see birds better!
As always thanks for reading.

Holiday Season
Selling gifts during the holidays has been fun. People have been filled with joy at the thought of giving the ones they love a special gift. I am reminded of how important it is to be filled with a spirit of joy and peace. Many people are so hurried and stressed now. Why is this? What has become of us when we will trample and kill to be the first in line at a box store for the “big sale”
Here is a picture of what you are really saving…
Thank you to all who support us and everyone else working to create a better community

Mixed Topics
As of recent I have discovered that people actually read my blog I have to admit that makes me excited and nervous. Excited that I have friends who check on me, and nervous because English in general in my weakest subject. I write how I talk, in fragmented sentences. I spell how any slightly dyslexic person who has spent no time trying to improve her spelling would spell…. Horribly
Well I guess you don’t care about my faults. It drives Nathan crazy. (He is an English lit/ Spanish lit major after all) For example a local author who we love blogged about us recently. I’ve been 26 steps behind since Abraham has arrived (where is my Mary Poppins?) and did not know she wrote about us. A paper supplier in San Francisco found us because of something written about us. I went googling trying to find the latest news on aNeMonE that was unknown to us. Megan wrote and article for the Spokesman and mentioned us as well as a lovely blog mention. (Seriously check out her blog she has THE coolest crafters blog out there. She inspires me!)
She took a gorgeous picture of the tree we created. Okay I’m getting to my point here…. I left her a blog comment and called her “Cleaver” instead of “Clever” If Nathan read our blog he would be irritated. What was I thinking? 1st, it was way too late at night to be posting public comments and 2nd, her site is slightly 50ish but I wasn’t thinking June Cleaver 3rd, I lost sleep over the mistake. Silly isn’t it?
On to the Blog…. What I wanted to mention besides Megan Cooley and her cool blog, was that we watched 2 movies that I wanted to share…
1. “Dan in Real Life” I have to say we LOVED this movie. It was a comedy about “real life” it was clever (not cleaver,) it made us both laugh and cry. Maybe I loved it so much because I have a large family that has moments similar to the ones built in the movie. Maybe because the music was “Handmade” (watch the extras at the end!) Maybe because the main character held a moral standard. Kudos to Peter Hedges the director, we will be following him, like we follow Wes Anderson. Juliette Binoche we have always loved and Steve Carell is becoming one of our favorite actors
2. The Violin (El Violin) This movie was incredibly. Nathan didn’t stop talking about it for days. Francisco Vargas directs this compelling story of three traveling musicians, a father, son, and grandson. It touches on the horror of war, the basic good of humanity, and the common language of music. This movie may be a hard one to find, we use and love Netflicks.
Abraham and the boys are doing well! Our “little aNeMonE store” has been quickly gaining customers we call “collectors.” Pick up a copy of this months, Spokane Metro Magazine at our little store, they wrote a lovely little blurp on us this issue. I’ve attached the picture they used the the Magazine. It’s Jonah with one of our paper flowers Spokane Metro
I’ll try to write again this month. Thanks for all your love and support!
