Target troubles

So, tonight I decided to forgo the lounge pants and venture out. I was feeling crazy. I went to Target. On the way there I plugged my iPod into my iTrip for some driving tunes. I got to Target spent about 45 minutes browsing and shopping with my sister and mother. We were looking at some of the rings at the display case as girls are wont to do. Suddenly I put on a ring and it was stuck. My finger was turning purple and throbbing!!! I had to slather some lotion on and work it off slowly and painfully. Can you say dysfunctionality?
Once it came off we checked out and went to the car. I was sitting there in the parking lot looking for the iPod to plug in before I drove off. I was rummaging and searching through my purse. Panic was slowly rising. I opened the car door and found my beautiful, shiny, new iPod sitting in the snow. It had been there the whole time and was freezing cold. Again with that dysfunctionality! This is why I should not leave the house and the lounge pants!!!!

My iPod is still cold and my finger still hurts.

2007 in review

A new year always brings introspection and reflection. Forcing myself to consider the state of my life is scary and pleasant at the same time. One of the scariest realizations I made was that biggest change in MY life for the year of 2007 is that my hair grew. Whenever I see anyone I have not seen in awhile the first thing they say is, "Whoa, your hair is long." Having longer hair has daily affects that have influenced life. That is really the only major change I could thnk of for 2007. Of course things changed for others around me and that causes change; however, I can't say that those really count. I deliberately chose not to make any resolutions for 2007...I can see that maybe I should have. WOOPS!
I wonder what changes await in 2008! (that rhymes)

Happy Birthday

I attended a rousing birthday party for my baby brother yesterday. He is growing uyp so fast. I am so proud of him. It just seems like yesterday when we would play legos, stratego, and monopoly. We also would enjoy our afternoon Heathcliff cartoon and Alvin and the Chipmunks show. All, I can say is that we have come a long way.

It is also another important birthday. Jane Austen is really old today. You wouldn't know it by all the exposure she is getting. Since I know, and want to celebrate her birthday, you can guess that I am not just casual fan who enjoyed one of her movies a couple of years ago.

Happy Birthday to you both!

Acceptable Behavior

Today I was at church and all I wanted to do as I sat in my classes was pull out my own book and read. I know that such behavior is not smiled upon. I couldn't help it. I wanted to read. I always want to read, that is nothing new or surprising.
I do realize that sitting in Relief Society and reading Rhett Butler's People would be a silly thing to do. I just wished it was acceptable behavior today.

Everyone has guilty pleasures-- movies, books, music, tv shows that you are embarassed to admit you like. Everyone has them. One of my long-time guilty pleasures is the Spice Girls. I love their music, their movies, their personas. I love it all. That is my confession. Now that I have opened that confessional door I will come all the way clean:
Last night as I was falling asleep I was struck with desire to listen to the Spice Girls. Luckily I am able to download music directly to my new iPod touch. I was able to fall asleep listening to Headlines--the new come back single. What a happy time to live! I need to find out how to get to their reunion concert!If anyone is interested just let me know. I would jump at the chance. For now I will settle for Spice World the movie
Zigazig, HA



Classic Spice Girls.



The video is not my favorite, but still exciting to have some new Spice Girls.

Maiden Voyage

Today I taught my seventh graders a lesson about writing with a purpose. We read about boy in Connecticut who used his political blog postings to wield some some muscle. I don't imagine that anything I will ever write here will have that same affect; however, I got to thinking about how it is high time I join the blogging craze.
I am sure that the day to day details of my life do not make for much of an exciting read--but I do have things to say occasionally.

So, here it goes. Blog officially launched.
