What has happened to my psychotic episodes?
I am actually feeling guilty for not writing on my blog. The truth is that I just haven't felt inspired lately. Maybe my life is just really boring right now, maybe I need the spring and fresh air, maybe my hallucinogenic drugs are not working any more. I guess it is time to try something new.

Go (gag) Utes!
I can remember 2 times in my life where I have actively cheered for the University of Utah to win anything; the NCAA run when Utah LOST to Kentucky in the finals and when they played against Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl.
I will be cheering for the UTES again tomorrow night. You might be asking your self "How can you cheer for the UTES? Isn't that like eating your own vomit?" Yes, it has been and probably will be tomorrow. But sometimes you have to slurp puke to achieve a higher, loftier goal. I realize that a win here will only help the Mountain West (and BYU) by gaining some national respect. SO DON'T SCREW THIS UP! You BETTER win!

Childhood Friends
Some of my childhood friends planned a "Breakfast with Friends" day. It was so much fun to see everybody again. I haven't seen some of these girls since I left for college 15+ years ago. It was so great to catch up. My old mutual advisors were invited also, how fun. Listed below are some of memories with people in this picture;
(all the girls in the picture where involved with this) at girls camp when we did our play and sang "Mrs O'Leary" backwards (which I still remember) and upside down with faces painted on our face (sorry if that doesn't make any sense but if you were involved hopefully it makes sense to you.) And Sis. Kotter being a witch at that same play.
Sis. Carter-All the fantastic lessons in church and wonderful advice.
Michelle-melting and eating cheese until we got sick.
Amy-the girls camp where you got a visit from your favorite aunt for the very first time and how excited you were.
Brodie-having a summer of tennis lessons together.
Catherine, Deborah, and Mrs. Keddington-being in 4H and learning how to sew.
Anne-well, there are so many memories but the best are the ones down in your bedroom, tickling each others arms, and talking about boys.
GOOD TIMES!

Lexi is moving on
For the past year I have been Lexi's primary teacher and have absolutely loved it. Yesterday was my last day. Lexi is moving on. I didn't think that I would be but I am terribly sad about this. Last night she said that she was very excited for her new teacher which I am happy about however, I like to think she is just saying that. Nobody can ever be as good as me, right?
Kris and I are team teaching next year. We are getting the same age group that I taught this year (the 4 to 5 year old). They must be some group because every single member of the primary presidency has come up to us and has said something about this class. They are worried about Kris not being able to handle them and I look at them and say "You are worried about Kris? He is great with kids; kids love Kris. You should be worried about me!"
Well, back to Lexi. Thank you for letting me be your teacher and your mom. I love both jobs and will really miss the first.

Oh me, Oh My. The day I have been waiting for has arrived.
So I was one of those crazy women who went to the midnight premier of Twilight, well actually the 12:30 premier. I have to say that I was very excited for it. If you hadn't noticed, I even had a countdown on my blog (thanks to my husband for finding it for me). I didn't dress up nor did I have a Jacob or Edward shirt but I was excited all the same.
So the day came. I was all a flutter. Luckily I had a lot to do that day. There was a meeting in the morning then the slow day of work. When I got home I went to a neighbors home party, went to McCall's and Mitchel's violin recital and then got home around 9:30 p.m.
What to do? I only had 3 hours left and had nothing to do. I tried talking to Kris for awhile but he wanted to go to sleep. I then watched Dave Letterman and luckily he had Kristen Stewart on as a guest. Oh me, oh my, was I excited. Well, needless to say she bombed the interview. She was horrible. I was thinking, "you are an actress, ACT!" It was uncomfortable to watch. I felt bad for Dave Letterman but I didn't let that get my spirits down. I thought "she will be better in the movie."
Well, the time came. I headed over to the movie theaters and meet up with my friends. By the time we got there the 12:00 showings had started so the really die-hard Bella in a prom dress people were already in fantasy land drooling over Edward or Jacob (Carrie, I am sorry that I missed your "Edward? or Jacob?" shirt). There was still a lot of excitement in the air, people taking pictures, get their faces painted white etc.
We got our treats, took our seats, and then the movie started (along with all the screaming and drooling.) I watched, James was HOT!, Laurent was HOT, Edward, well he was O.K. Jacob was young looking but I thought he was better looking then Edward. I hated the "Edward's skin sparkles" part. But, overall it was OK. I can't say that I loved it but I didn't hate it. I do have to say that I was a little disappointed. Call me crazy but this movie had so much hype behind it, even before the shooting started, that you would think it wouldn't look like a low budget movie but it did. I have even seen low budget movies look better than this. So I was a little bummed and tired (it was 2:30 a.m.). I walked out of our theatre expecting the building to be like a ghost town, no! people were waiting for their showing to start. At 2:30 a.m.! I couldn't believe it.
Lexi wants to go see it with me. I don't think that she will like it but I figure I may go see it again. I keep telling myself that it was the late hour and my physically exhausting day that made me not love the movie. If I go see it with Lexi during the day while I am refreshed then the movie will be different.

I was robbed when it comes to a sense of humor
Have you ever been with a group of people who are all laughing hysterically at something and you don't find it funny at all? NO? I didn't think so. This happens to me all the time. Just the other day I was in a meeting with 6 other people who are all laughing at something one of the attendees said and I just sat there and smiled.
I always tell people that I have absolutely no sense of humor. I have a theory behind it. My next older brother has a great sense of humor. I love going to movies with him, he laughs the entire movie and by the end of the movie I am laughing also.... not at the movie but at him. And to top it all off, he has a great laugh. I say that all the humor genes went to him and my parents had nothing left for me. (He got all the intelligent genes also but I am not as upset about that one.) I was left with the runt humor genes, the no good ones, and the defective ones. I have learned how to cope with it but I am still a little bitter. Why can't I find things funny? The only things I find funny are other peoples pain; for instance the skateboarding video on Kris' blog, however I didn't even find that one funny. I know, I have a sick sense of humor. I told you my genes were defective.

A new season and a "change" for the good
I woke up this morning to the first snowfall of the season. I love the first snowfall. The world is all white, clean and looks absolutely beautiful. I took that as a sign. I am going to start this new season and new year with a clean, white slate and hopefully it will become beautiful. The "changes" that I am most looking forward to are;
1. Workplace pension plans for retirement
2. Lower health care costs
3. Affordable College, even free community college tuition
4. Ending the war in Iraq "responsibly" (I am not sure what time frame "responsibly" is, during the primaries it was 6 months but now...... I guess it means anytime between 6 months to ??? years.)
Finally and most excitedly,
5. LOWER TAXES
For some reason Kris is not being to supportive of my new found view of life. I am not sure why, I thought he would be very happy. I told him that our future looks bright, beautiful and happy where we get more for our money. I don't understand how anybody wouldn't be happy about that. Well, I guess if you are "rich" then you aren't going to be happy because none of the above applies to you, in fact you will be paying for it. Let me be the first to say THANK YOU.
