A Dose of Cuteness

Readers of this blog will remember that I had kidney stones over Thanksgiving. There are about 10 days that are pretty much a black hole in my memory. So you will forgive me for posting these pictures from Thanksgiving a little late.

It looks like my family had a really great Thanksgiving. I wish I had been there... and not drugged up and asleep on a couch somewhere.

Some Things That May Surprise You

Surprise #1) I bought a "pioneer picture" this week. I justified it because it goes along with a Relief Society activity I'm in charge of and it will be a great visual aid. But to be perfectly honest, I've always secretly liked it. And it's of pioneers. Who knew?

Surprise #2) I subscribe to People magazine. As in, it comes to my house once a week. After I moved into my own apartment, I was buying People as a treat at the end of every work week. But I quickly discovered that if you're buying a magazine every week at the grocery store, you're overspending on celebrity gossip. So eventually I had to put my pride aside and actually subscribe to the magazine. It's much cheaper that way.

So there you have it. Two random and somewhat contradictory things you may or may not have known about me. Happy Friday to all!

More Weekend Pics

A couple of pics from the weekend that weren't taken with a cell phone! Enjoy!

Weekend Adventure

Sometimes I wish my nephews were cuter and more fun to be around.

Kidding, kidding. How could that even be possible?

Tricia and I "ran away" to Idaho this weekend. We did lots of fun things, like packing for a pretend trip to Disneyland. We called people "stinker pot" and giggled. And we had hamburgers and milkshakes.

Add that to the fact that I got to see my best friends from high school (who are still my best friends!) and it was a very refreshing weekend.

This Would Only Happen to Me

This morning a co-worker mentioned they wished they had a screwdriver to hang some new shelves. As fate would have it, I have a screwdriver in the trunk of my car so I went to get it. Somehow during the complicated process of removing the screwdriver from my tool kit, I gashed my thumb. Really bad. It bled for about 30 minutes and I had to make a run to Smiths for first aid supplies.

I don't think I'll be texting for awhile. And I know I won't be foolish enough to lend someone a screwdriver ever, ever again! These are the kinds of things that only happen to me.

Neil Diamond Day

January 24, 2012 was another great Neil Diamond Day! Happy 71st birthday to an icon. We celebrated at my Dad's house with cheese fondue, a chocolate fountain, donuts and a viewing of the final scene of The Jazz Singer. Long Live Neil Diamond.

Possible Josh Groban Sighting

I'm sitting in my office this afternoon, minding my own business, when a guy walks by outside my window. I am 99.9% sure it was Josh Groban. But what was he doing on 4th East in Salt Lake City? And why didn't he come into say hello?
