Tweeting General Conference

I didn’t get to tweet as much for general conference this year as I did last — spent the day Saturday working on the websites, and then discovered late that evening there was a conference in New York I should be at, so I spent this afternoon traveling by bus to the Big Apple. I tried to retweet as much as possible, but the internet access on the bus was…

Come Back Seminary Mom!

I have added a new Seminary section to the website. I was looking for websites or blogs with Seminary information. There are pretty much none. I found a fantastic site named Seminary Class Notes and was excited! What a fantastic blog! And the handouts Seminary Mom was making were generic enough to be used for multiple applications across the church. Hooray! I started looking for contact information — couldn’t find…

I heart New York

I was so relieved when I read the speech that New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg gave about the historic vote allowing a mosque to be built near the site where the World Trade Center used to be located. It’s online here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870354560457540767322190847… if you’re interested. I love this quote: “We do not honor [the lives of those who died on September 11, 2001] by denying the very Constitutional rights…

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

It’s unofficially official: Salt Lake has given the go ahead and the ward is splitting before school starts. Arg. I was praying the whole thing would fall through after I first heard about it, but I felt guilty and all, so I started praying that everything would work out the best for our family instead. I am not looking forward to doubling my gas bill (quadrupling if we get called…

Have a Blessed Day

There’s a lady working the checkout at Target who I call the Have a Blessed Day Lady. She must work about 100 hours a week, because I get her almost every time I come into Target. And as soon as I catch a glance at her–before she’s even said a word–I think “have a blessed day,” because that’s what she says each time she cashes you out. Today I got…

I’m flattered, I think

I woke up today not wanting to go to Church. I’m tired from not sleeping well and cranky from being more than a little PMS’d. The kids are making me crazy and Jared and I are fighting. I just plain didn’t want to go and have to deal with other people, ya know? I’m probably the only person who ever feels that way. *sigh* I got up and got the…
