Yeah! Daylight Savings Time is BACK!

Am I the only person in the whole wide universe (ok… world) who feels that Daylight savings time just flat out feels more normal that what they call “Standard time”?  I just like it better.  It feels natural.  Maybe it fits my circadian rhythms (HA!).  We had a discussion about them this past week at [...]

My bucket list

A tag going around facebook had me wondering “What IS on MY bucket list.”  Some of the things on that list are… some of them aren’t.  The great thing is, I’ve done some of the things on the list…. but I’ve added to it.  So.  In no particular order.  My list.

Go to Scotland
Go to Italy

Whether you set resolutions or not, it’s tough not to reflect at the beginning of the new year.  We look back on the previous year and take stock.  Where were we this time last year?  Are we better now than we were then?  They often lead to what we can do to improve things that [...]

It’s like death and taxes……

Over 2 years ago I was given the assignment to be the president of our church’s Primary organization.  This organization is for children 18 months to 11 years old and there were around 40 children there each week.  I wasn’t prepared for the rush of love that I felt for every single one of those children.  And [...]

Are you Bold?

Or maybe not so much…
I saw this tag on Della’s Blog and it’s kind of interesting to go through and both see what you HAVE done and what you’ve chosen NOT to do.  Or maybe you just haven’t had the opportunity…. It made me think a little… Ok… everything makes me think. 
The things I’ve done [...]

It’s FINALLY here!

 
I spent the morning finalizing my research.  Like I hadn’t heard enough right?  I didn’t look at the presidential candidates.  My choice there was decided long ago.  State and local elections could be just as interesting where I am.  So I started with my local newspaper to view the whole cast of characters.  Some of them are [...]

First Thoughts and Impressions

I love General Conference.  I’ll post more later I’m sure, but the first session was so amazing I just couldn’t wait to post a few of the things that were stand-outs for me.  (These aren’t all quotes.  Some have to do with the topic of the speaker’s talk)

When I was little all of the temples [...]

Don’t hate me because I’m a morning person.

Most mornings I’m awake well before the sun even thinks of getting up. When I’m at Girls’ Camp I even manage to do this without the aid of an alarm clock. 
Most mornings I love listening to the world wake up.  Even traffic sounds different in the morning than at night.  There seems to be a hushed [...]

Tag! You’re It!

If you’ve blogged for any time at all you’ve heard of tagging… Here’s one that makes you think just a bit.  And just to share the love – consider yourself tagged (that’s how I got it, so it’s only fair! – and let me know if you don’t mind so I can read your reponses.  [...]

Personality test, sshmersonlity test!

You sit down, prepared to be enlightened.  Ready for the all important wisdom that will guide you along your path.  Pen at hand you anxiously await the precious codes that will unlock your future dreams.
Yeah.  Phooey! 
So, the first day of the career fair we took several personality tests.  There were a few of us in the [...]
