SNOOZE ALERT: If you're looking for an exciting read, this won't be it. If, however, you've been battling with insomnia, and in need of a decent night's sleep, reading this could be just the thing for you.
Yesterday, while attending church where The Mr. grew up, I ran into a friend from high school. She surprised me by saying that she had stumbled across my blog and reads it occasionally. (Hi Barb!) She also informed me that she didn't like it when people started blogs, and then didn't keep up with them on a regular basis. I felt like the wicked being called to repentance. So in an effort to be a more regular blogger, here's what I've been up to:
- Hosted a TV-themed party. We asked everyone to dress up like some television character and bring their favorite TV snack to share. Of course all the games we played had a TV theme to them. It was tons of fun. Unfortunately I didn't remember to take pictures until most of the people were gone. Here are a few that we did get:
Major Frank Burns and "Hot Lips" Houlihan
Charles Ingles and Laura Ingles
Curious George and The Man With the Yellow Hat
- Drove to Utah with The Mr. and Son #1B, picking up Daughter #3 in Idaho on the way down. Highlights of the trip included (1) Attending General Conference, (2) Visiting 1B's Mission president and wife, (3) Having supper with my niece and her husband and meeting their adorable baby for the first time, and (4) hanging out with these cool cats:
(I think the pose is supposed to read: "She's fawning all over him because of the cool (rental) car, but he's acting casual like it's no big deal." Apparently he's used to women fawning all over him?)
- Attended the Calgary Temple Open House. Kudos to the people of Calgary who did such an awesome job of running the Open House!
- Kept myself occupied creating a program for my Showbiz Kids to take to the Senior's Lodge. I've had to find music, get the music recorded, and either switch up the lyrics or write entirely new ones to some of the songs. It's amazing how many of the "old-time" songs have naughty innuendos.
- Spent this past weekend in the Lethbridge area tagging along with The Mr. who was there for business. Highlights included (1) Getting together with friends for supper, (2) Meeting up with Daughter #2 and her family, (3) Shopping, (4) Taking The Mr.'s parents out for supper and having some of his brothers and sisters and their spouses joining us, and (5) Attending the Welling Ward for church services.
- Rounded out the fun by teaching a few early-morning Seminary classes, delivering Food Bank flyers in the freezing cold, falling down my front porch stairs, and discovering bed bugs in the hotel.

ack! I was enjoying the whole list of activities until that last sentence - bed bugs.... eww.
fun party idea!! glad you were able to visit over conf weekend.
Haha thanks Dixie! You knew I was kidding, right?? Love your blog!
I have noticed that about old songs too...so many innuendos. And old movies. I thought it would be fun to show my kids some old movies that I watched when I was a teen...ya know Sound of Music and Grease. Grease is terrible FYI. I never knew that.
haha Funny what YOU think of as old compared to what I think of as old.
And you're right about "Grease". Don't you remember when you and Lisa were teenagers I finally agreed to let you watch Grease, as long as the younger kids were in bed? And I kept saying things like, "now WE know that's not appropriate behavior, right?" And, "Thank goodness WE know better than to do things like that."
