It's official. I'm a slacker. I haven't posted on this blog for over a month. That's ridiculous.
I've been trying to figure out what I've been doing for the past few weeks that has kept me busy enough to take away any free blogging time. Here's what I've come up with:
- Our trip to Washington D.C.
- JRCLS Law Conference -- PLEASANT
- Library of Congress -- AMAZING
- Capitol Building -- BEAUTIFUL
- Smithsonian Museums -- IMPRESSIVE
- Lincoln Memorial -- MAJESTIC
- Washinton Monument -- ADEQUATE
- Washington D.C. Temple -- SERENE
- The Metro -- DELIGHTFUL
- Weather -- DISAPPOINTING
- Feet -- SORE
- Stake Women's Conference
- I was in charge of the entertainment during the brunch. Rearranging the words to several Broadway show tunes (to fit the theme of "The Power of Kindness") and watching the various women perform was so much fun for me.
- Stake Road Show
- Do you suppose it's a coincidence that my two favorites were my ward's play and my sons' ward's play?
- I was involved in a little "intro act" which has caused me to decide that I definitely prefer to be involved in the organizing, and not in the actual performing.
- Daughter Number #2's Visit
- She was finally here long enough to fit everything in.
- Love, love, love seeing my grandchildren.
- Seminary Mid-Year Conference
- Whenever I have to present at one of these conferences I almost become paralyzed. I worry for days/weeks because I wonder what on earth I can teach the teachers who have far more experience and scriptural knowledge than I do.
- When it's finally over, the emotional stress release leaves me wanting to do nothing but sleep and eat for the rest of the day. (And yes, I realize that is totally pathetic!)
- Showbiz Kids
- Finding the music and preparing costumes/props always takes a fair amount of time.
- I absolutely LOVE planning the choreography for the shows and trying to teach it to the kids. (Of course the final project is never as great as I had imagined in my mind's eye -- no crisp, precise movements to the exact beat of the music -- but they are, after all, children, so it shouldn't surprise me.)
- Snow Shovelling
- Just when we thought Spring was on its way, we got dumped on with a foot of snow. It just kept coming. And coming. And coming.
- A Little More Company Than Usual
- Some came to stay, others just for a meal. Either way, I love having them.
So, that's probably what's been keeping me busy. Not really busy enough to stop me from blogging, though. There must be something else.
Oh, wait. I remember what that other thing was....
- Daughter #2 introduced me to this little obsession while visiting. Wow! Who knew you can find EVERYTHING on Pinterest? And who knew how addicting it can be?
- Should I let Daughter #3 know that I have her entire wedding planned? Or should I let her and her fiance have a say in something?
