Blog post

This is the blog of Jenny Smith. I mostly blog about my calling in the LDS or Mormon Church.

Bad Economy…..

I think something is wrong with me. All everyone talks about is the horrible economy, and that it’s going to get worse and worse…. So today, we go out and spend $2000 with the intent to spend about $10000 more. I’m a little numb. We went to Home Depot and bought a compound miter saw, some blades and random hand tools, and an $800 washer. Yes, _I_, Queen of the…

What have you read? I got 41

The BBC apparently says most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. (That seems ridiculous to me…. Anyway.)http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml Instructions: [Copy and paste into a new note on your profile.] 1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ before those you have read. 2) Tally your total. 3) Put in a note with your total in the subject 1 (X) Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen…

I really am stopping

I am stopping for the day, but it’s so hard to cease and desist when you’re getting so much done! First, I got the changes made on the basement blueprints to take the county.

Awesome Lesson

Jillyne gave an excellent lesson from the Joseph Smith manual during Relief Society on Sunday. The topic was personal apostasy, and she likened it to the story of Lehi’s vision in the Book of Mormon. She brought out a couple of interesting points. As a side note, Alka-seltzer does work for urinary tract infections. I’m in shock.

Productivity

Ah — the sweet relief of feeling productive….. Today I cleaned rugs, put shelves in the closet and rearranged all the cleaning supplies, updated pricing for Crowning Jewel, paid Specialties, emailed the (new) Bishop, enlisted a new VTer, called my secretary and Ed counselor and a sick member, and have done a little on the website. And it’s not even 3PM! I’ve really gotten a good bit done this week,…

So tired.

One thing is clear — the website is not user-friendly enough. I spent most of last week working on making the nodes for story and image display better. Bunged out a thing for object lessons, too. Based on the incredibly poor user response to the site in terms of posting activity, it’s clear that I’ve got lots more to do. 4,000 users a day, and only 1-2 posts a week….

The kids make me laugh

Conversation about why DD was hot during her bout of stomach flu: Mommy: What do you think causes a fever? DS: Maybe it’s because all her cells are moving around fast and causing friction. Or maybe her nerves are getting hot like a wire that gets hot when too much electricity goes through it. DD describes bead necklace she made for mommy: DD: Everyone will ask you where you bought…
