Friday just about put me in my grave. Got up late -- still not sleeping well after hitting that cat with my car -- but I got DD to school early so I could take DS to the dentist. Things went well there, so I took DS back to school and picked up DD to […]

I am keeping busy this week with the compassionate service and planning for our big Sunday throwdown. I am making a photo mosaic for use in our reading program. I'm also babysitting for a last minute addition to the craziness of this week tomorrow. I only got about 5 or 6 things ironed today because […]

My brother made me set up a Facebook account a couple of years ago. None of my friends were on it (back then it was mostly college students), and so I did nothing with it. Later, friend Chad, begged me to get on. Ignored him. Finally, after fb was in the news so much, I […]

I got back to the gym today for the first time in ages. I bet it's been 2 months. Things have been crazy in the mornings here, and I was excited to get things straightened out so that I could go again. Of course, it didn't hurt that I finally found the keys that had […]

Mormon 'idol' being crowned - Late last summer, after David Archuleta and Brooke White made it to the finals of the 2008 "American Idol" competition, Bob Wood began to wonder just how many other singers raised in the LDS culture had that kind of talent ... [Deseret News LDS Feed] This sounds nice to me. […]

Stake Conference was today. I am trying to find Christ-like things to say about it, but it's pretty difficult, actually. Two of the talks were very good, 5 were okay, and two were downright bad. I did laugh out loud when the Mission President's wife said she thought the next YW value should be guilt! […]

I have translated into Spanish the play for Relief Society "Emma's Smith Garden Party" I just want to offer it to anyone who's interested. Just email me at vaz1412@gmail.com and I'll send it to you. It took me a long time to translate it and I want others to benefit from my work.
