One of the things that helped me to feel some confidence in unemployment was having paid off my car loan and not having that expense every month...but, I should have known better!
One of the boys posted the photo to his Facebook page and received the following response:
Awhile back I blogged about an article suggesting a short list of reasons why a woman older than 30 is still single, the first being that the woman is a bitch. But (shameful confession next), I've been taking advantage of some of my free time to catch up on Bravo's Real Housewives and those chicks are wicked! Seriously awful, whiny, manipulative, vapid, ungrateful, bitchy women...with handsome, rich husbands?!
A Facebook friend recently extended a challenge to do something noteworthy over the next 100 days. It's been a good benchmark for me to consider...I am beginning to see how imperatively I need some direction in my life. 
I got a persuasive text message yesterday afternoon:
I fly more often than the average American. This means I have some awesome travel stories...like the time my seat neighbor peeled hard boiled eggs mid-flight, or the time a drugged up goofball touched me inappropriately in his "sleep" and ruined my first-class red-eye. It also means that I've had my luggage misplaced more often than I think is expected...and at the very worst times! It also means that I've had to prep my seat pocket with easy access to the air sickness bag a few times...today was one of those days. But with the help of a podcast and 20 Altoids, I was victorious!
Notice how there isn't anything supper great on the map between Salt Lake City and Denver? Ya, I'd like to just get rid of that space and make the two neighboring cities. It would really help me out a TON!
I'm such a good (and selfish) daughter...this is how Sheri and I started my first day home...nice, eh?
And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—
My prayers and thoughts continue to be with the family of Lorne Schmunk.
One of my favorite series of childhood memories come from the Adams County Public Library. My mom would take us fairly regularly and it felt like we would leave with at least a dozen books each! Sometimes, she'd spoil us with a "three olive thing" (an Enchirito...they used to come garnished with 3 sliced olives along the top) from Taco Bell on the way home.
Apparently I'm a failure when it comes to some social observations. It was recently pointed out to me that a very handsome man had been making a pass at me...and I responded with a friendly introduction and a "brushoff". 
I know! I know! So un-cool to be so un-timely...but the PG-13 version just hit Utah theaters and...amazing. A must see!
Do schools even offer, let alone require, Home Economic classes anymore? It was required core curriculum at Westlake Junior High in Broomfield, CO for all 7th graders...along with Shop Class and Art Class and Keyboarding. Of the four, Home Ec was my favorite. Probably because I came to the class so well trained.
Every six months, the general membership of the LDS faith has the opportunity to hear counsel from the leadership of the church. The talks are Christ centered and the majority of the message is easily applied to members of our faith and those who are not.
Turns out I'm a late bloomer in more than just the romance category. I'm embarrassed that it has taken me so long to understand what the world of Podcasts has to offer! I am in loooooooove!
