Tonight we did the show. I think my dad and Matt were both petrified. I don’t know why I wasn’t. I guess I was kind of in this “Meh!” mode. I figured, it would either be great–or it wouldn’t. But I was going to have fun. Suh there. The whole place was packed. It wasContinue reading “Extreme Cabaret!”

Cutie Pies
These are my favorite little boys. I was there at their parent’s wedding. I fed little Peyton with the little straw on the pinky because his mama was too sick too nurse. I love these little boys so much! I got to spend the night with them last night. We were all up late laughingContinue reading “Cutie Pies”
Songs for the Concert
Last night, we were sitting around the living room talking about possible songs. Dad was at the computer looking up lyrics, I was compiling playlists on itunes, and Matt was just trying not to be overwhelmed. He’s a little afraid that vocally he can’t handle this thing–but he’ll be great! We started singing through theContinue reading “Songs for the Concert”
Friendly Iowa
Perhaps I set myself up for the joy, but just stepping off the plane–I could feel the friendly Iowa warmth surround me. I began chatting with the girl next to me on our way to the baggage claim. At the rental counter, I was talking to the guy about which car to rent–and he gaveContinue reading “Friendly Iowa”
House
David Shore is a genius. Last night’s episode of House was incredible. I love this show. I was shocked. It was the kind of shock that leaves the viewer entirely satisfied with the twists and turns of the story. Brilliant!! I had to catch my breath. Genius!! David Shore is my idol.
Talk on Provident Living
I might have exaggerated a little, but it was only because I need to be funny. Because this is my first talk in my new ward, I took the chance to introduce myself. I don’t have a “how we met” story. For those of you who know me and feel like I’ve left things out–IContinue reading “Talk on Provident Living”
Preparation Overload
I have spent the day inside the house. I went out to get the mail, but that was it. Today I finished the take home final for the World Cultures class. I am relieved that I will never have to do that again. Except that I will because I need to reassess what chapters IContinue reading “Preparation Overload”
Working from Home
The sounds of construction, banging and drilling, and landscaping, buzzing and thwacking–fill the air. I went out onto the deck to see what was going on and caught a look at several workers on the roof of the condo next door. I’m sitting on the couch in my night shirt watching Bones. The doorbell rings.Continue reading “Working from Home”
It Takes a Woman
My next two weeks consist of creating final exams and grading them, grading final papers for 5 classes, and getting 5 syllabis ready for the new quarter to start on May 26th. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I’m off to Iowa to put on a little concert. In an effort to keep onContinue reading “It Takes a Woman”
Happy Music
After listening to Tripping Lily in Melissa Branin’s living room last night–(see the video in an earlier post), I had fun finding other happy music. Nickel Creek broke up last year, but they make me smile! Below is another video of Tripping Lily. They were wonderful! Look them up on facebook or myspace. I postedContinue reading “Happy Music”
