Voting Hooray

I'm voting today. It's a really long line. :)

Haunted Library

My library became a haunted library.
My girl did a fab job spinning the webs all over the place.
(I think it's funny that my ceiling is shaped like Utah.)
Speaking of Ceilings...did I mention what my costume was this year?
I had a pennant that said "Go Ceilings!"
I was a "Ceiling Fan!"
Get it?
Ha Ha!
(Thanks for the idea Shantelle!)

Halloween Decorations

These are my headstones.

I added "Pirate Fred" to make them more fun.
He scared the kids! He scared me!
His heart is still beating...there's something very wrong with that!
If you see him wandering the neighborhood, don't call me!
Just run!

Young Women!!!

I am so excited to be a leader for the Young Women of the church! Learn more about this great program here. I was involved in this program ages 12-18 & I loved every minute of it. I loved all the activities - dances, youth conferences & lessons, etc. It is a great place to learn to become an awesome woman, develop friendships and increase your testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hooray!! I love to serve and I am so glad I get to serve here right now. We have a super fun group of girls. :)

Candy Wrapper Question

Why do candy wrappers have to be so noisy? You know, those times when you want something a little sweet, but it's quiet, and when you open your candy, you're like, "Great, now everyone in a 500 foot radius knows I wanted candy and now they are going to want some too." Not that I wouldn't be willing to share my candy with you. It's just disruptive in some environments. Of course, today, here at work, with the JACK HAMMER going CONSTANTLY just outside my window!!!! ...it's no problem at all. :) Someday, I hope to invent a quieter wrapper. While I'm at it, a quieter wrapper for feminine hygiene would be a superb idea. Public restrooms are very echo-ey. Does everyone in there have to know?!? Nevermind, I'm not going there. I'm not going to post a picture of that either. If you've been there, you know what I am talking about. Have a good one and enjoy your candy, or what ever.

Followers

Sounds creepy, but it's not. At least I don't think so. I clicked on 'manage' my followers. The only option I had was to BLOCK my followers. ...I only have two followers. ...I am not going to block them. ...What kind of an option is that? I wanted to manage my followers. Options like 'block' make them unmanageable. Feel free to follow my blog by signing up as a follower. Don't make the blogger mad though! The only 'option' I will have is to 'block' you!!!

PS - Happy Halloween!!!

Walk at Work

Look! I found a treadmill workstation of my very own. OK, so it was a demo on display. But I tried it out. I'm pretty sure my fingers wouldn't get cold at all if I had this contraption.

Ipod frozen!!! What to do...

Is your Ipod frozen? Click here to find out how to fix it. Read on to find out how happy it made me.

I really do love the information highway (ie the internet). I can have a problem that has me going about 2 miles per hour on the highway of life, say a problem like, my ipod is frozen. figure it out on my own? No. Find the instructions to my Ipod? Did it come with instructions? Not sure, must have - definitely lost or long ago thrown away. Hunting for it would take way too much time & I don't have that kind of time. So I pull onto the onramp of the information highway by typing "Ipod frozen" into my search engine. The engine revs and pulls up a plethora of fix it tips, the first of which is apple support. I click on it and am off and racing down the highway listening to my favorite tunes as I journey through my day. A quick pit stop here to sing the praises of this thoroughfare and I am back to work! Did you know that Thorofare is a city in New Jersey? I didn't until I checked an online dictionary to spellcheck the word 'thoroughfare'. I love the internet. :) Yes I do.

Frozen Fingers

Brrrrrrrrrr It is c-c-c-old at work today. My fingers are turning purple! I would sit on them, but then I wouldn't get any work done. If only I had one of these, then I could get my blood flowing while I work.

You don't see this every day!!!

Can you tell her arms and legs are blue? I wonder why? My daughter went to school with pink hair today. She had a good reason. Maybe blue skin girl had a good reason too. Maybe she didn't. I will never know. :(

What's in your wallet?

One dollar, sunglasses, keys, PDA, lotion, book, receipt, colored pencil.

I love technology - always and forever

I was always curious about them...

I never thought I'd have one of my very own...

I think I like it...

A lot. Yep I like it alot.

Mine has an elegant black sheath known as 'body glove'. It's a good thing too, cause I beat the heck out of my electronic devices. It had battle wounds from living in my purse the first time I put it in there. I have no idea what goes on in my purse when I am not looking, but it must be a very violent battle - all of my belongings vying for position at the bottom of the bag, I am sure.

Watcha doin'?

I have dreams like this. They never come true.

Pushing Daisies

Pushing Daisies is back. I watched it last night. The show is about pie and bringing people back from the dead then sending them back when you are done with them. What more could you want? All is right in the TV universe once again. Now I'll go meditate until next week.

The Many Faces of Spartacus

Waiting Room Origami

Recently I had the timeless pleasure of sitting in a Dr.'s office waiting room. I perused the usual fare... People, no; Time, no; Sports Illustrated, no; Several self-help pamphlets, no... ah Highlights! There's one I haven't read for a while. I came to this page:
Hmmm. Make a butterfly out of a dollar bill by John Montroll. (rummage through my purse, um pocketbook for those north-east coast readers) Ah, yes - the elusive dollar bill. I can put it to good use while I pass the time. Here is my waiting room attempt. I'm not sure what the ONE other person in the waiting room thought of my antics, but I carefully avoided eye contact so I couldn't tell you what she thought. I was content. I was passing my time anxiously engaged in creativity. Here are my happy results:

I don't know if I can ever bring myself to spend this cute dollar. I don't think I can afford this hobby. I can see it now - dozens of cute animal shaped dollar bills which I am not willing to spend, strewn about the house. It probably leads to more hard core use of $5's, $10's & $20's. I think I'll quite will I'm ahead... or maybe not???

9/11/01 - Where were you?

I was in a meeting at work with several furniture vendors that had arrived from out of town. Everyone's cell phones were ringing as word trickled in about what was happening. The 'important' things we were discussing suddenly became unimportant. I remember going back to my desk and looking at the news in disbelief. Watching the videos replay and play out the events of that day. Having lived near NYC in my youth and visited often, I still can not picture the New York skyline without the twin towers there. They just always were.
