Open Mouth-Insert a foot (or two)

Yesterday I was eating lunch with Jess and afterward saw President Holland in the cafeteria. I went over and introduced him to Jess by saying, "this is my youngest daughter, Jamie." So all of you know that this did NOT go over well with Jess and I will never live it down. I do however think Pres. Holland got a kick out of it. :) And we had been talking about Jamie and getting together to sing soooooo----that's my excuse. :) Or maybe I was traumatized by the fact that AARP had the nerve to send me a letter to invite me into their little exclusive club of old people. That would be enough to do it! ha ha Really, I know how old I am but not quite ready to get the senior discount yet! Happy Day!!
2 Thoughts for the day:
"Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.

"Vegetarian: Indian word for lousy hunter."

Baby it's cold outside! :)

So grateful that I wasn't a pioneer. I love this weather and the cold but am so glad that I can go home to the warmth of a beautiful home, cozy blankets, and a host of other things that spoil me! (including but not limited to chocolate!)We are all truly blessed and I hope that we each realize just how much and are continually thankful! Happy Day!!!!!!!
Thought for the day:
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.

LET IT SNOW!!! :)

Yesiree this weather IS my fault and I love it! I can't wait for the holidays for I am just a big kid at heart. If for some insane reason anyone reading this blog is not a fan of the weather I have several suggestions;
1. Learn to play in it. You don't have to spend lots of money to enjoy the season. Rich or poor there are plenty of ways to have fun. Just get your creative juices flowing!
2. It's a great time to snuggle up in a blanket with Hot Chocolate and read a good book or watch a good show while the wind is howling and the snow is swirling and.....ok you get my point. :)
3. Change your attitude about it. You find what you are looking for and if you look forward to each day of the season it will make life soooo much better!
4. Bundle up and take a walk. And of course hot chocolate afterwards!
5. Build a fire! Is there anything greater than a cozy fire? I think not! If you don't have one, go to the local hotel and sit in their lobby by the fireplace. They will never know!!! :) AND you can order a hot chocolate. I know I know, I can't get through a day without chocolate but that's ok. Tis the season!!! Happy Day!!!!

Fun Times at Park City

The fudge was great, the days were gorgeous, the shopping was----let's just say that I could definitely spend it if I had it----and now it's Monday and time to register for my FINAL semester here at UVU. How the time has flown! I just wish that I could study as fast as the days seem to go. Oh well, here comes Jess's favorite saying about eating an elephant one bite at a time! Guess I just need to take bigger bites! :) Happy day!!
Thought for the day:
"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian."

Happy Day!!!!

Thought for the day:
"Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. "

Ya'll Came Through! :)

Thanks for the comments! I shall put a warm fuzzy in my jar for every one! :) So excited for this weekend because Kolleen and I are going to Park City to veg and eat fudge. Also to lament that we are both going to be a year older very soon and it's definitely not as exciting as it use to be! Gravity is NOT my friend. Ok, maybe it keeps me attached to the ground but is shouldn't try to take all of the parts of my body with it!!!
Thought for the day: Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Can you hear me now?????

Ok kids, I am getting a complex because nobody comments on my blog. I feel like I am floating at sea and my Verizon network has abandoned me. That is not the way the commercial goes. So I ask again, can you hear me now--------??????????
Thought for the day: Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Happy day! :)

Fall Break!

Have fall break Thursday and Friday! Library only open from 8-5 so I will at least have some down time because they will kick me out of the library. I don't study well at home so.....freedom!
Okay, I can't get too excited because I still have to study for my 2 midterms next week as well as my GRE but still...............I shall have some fun-maybe veg on the couch and watch a movie. Please don't be jealous of my super exciting life. :) Happy day!
Thought for the day: "It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark!"

Thought for the day.......

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
Another beautiful fall morning-------Happy Day!!!!!

Oh My Gosh.....

Just got back from the Inauguration Ceremony for Pres. Matthew Holland and it was such a wonderful experience. President Henry B. Eyring was in the processional and I shook his hand on his way in and told him I liked his pink robe!--- Well I did! :) He said the closing prayer. After the 2 hour event, Kiara and I went up and shook hands with Elder Neal Anderson of the 12 and then had a nice visit with Pres. Matthew Hollands dad, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the 12. I also told him that I LOVED his conference talk. He was sooo sweet! Pretty cool day I would say! Had no idea who was going to be there but certainly glad that I was!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The Lord has a nearly impossible task to get through a heart filled with anger, hate, vengence, or self pity!! The harm others have done to us in the past only matters to the extent that we allow it to affect us today! Happy Day!!! :)
P.S. I love the fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
