Hmm... deja vu?

from Feb 24th, 25th, & 27th, 1992

are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Probably -

- my favorite line from SNL last week:

"After hearing that Osama bin Laden said that global warming is actually happening and a real concern, Al Gore responded: 'Yes! Oh, wait... who said...? Damn!'"

(the first part was paraphrased the "quote" from Gore was right on. and hilarious.
ps. it's not swearing if you're quoting, right?)

'LLL' - Lousy Low Levels

Okay, not really, but that's what it felt like.

I went to donate blood on Wednesday. My hemoglobin was too low the first time, so they tested me again. It went up the second time, but not enough, so I couldn't donate. They told me I could come back and try again the next day.

So I did.

Thursday when I went in, the girl did the test and it came up with - 'LLL'. I have never seen that before and didn't know it was even possible. 'LLL' means my level is either 10.5 or below, and for women to donate blood it has to be at least 12.5.

So I was rejected.

Again.

Two days in a row.

Sad, huh?

So Close I Can Taste It!

Remember this?

Closely followed by this?

Well... in 18 days...

... I'll be seeing this:



Due to the schedule change, my friend Emily could no longer go.

Today I found a friend who could.

I'm so excited.

So, so, very much excited.

Keeping Things Simple

After two years of owning an iPod Touch, I finally figured out how to put apps on it.
I don't think it's entirely my fault. I had to pay for a software upgrade in order to make it possible. Every time I plugged it in to sync to my computer it would ask if I wanted to pay for an upgrade (there had been some free upgrades that I always said yes to) and I didn't really look at it before saying "remind me later" or something.

The point is, I have the following apps:

Scriptures
and
LDS Study Aids

I paid $15 for the Scriptures app. It has all the standard works, includes the Bible Dictionary and Topical Guide, shows cross-references for scriptures, allows you to highlight, make notes, etc. It's pretty amazing.

LDS Study Aids I got for free. It's the material that is being used in Sunday School and Priesthood/Relief Society. I have the Old Testament manual for Sunday School, and then the whole Gospel Principles book right there.

What I love about all of this is that now the only thing I have to carry to church is my purse - as long as my iPod is in it.

Realizing that I pack super-light for church now made me decide to walk to church today. It's almost 2.5 miles away, most of that is going uphill, but my hands will be unencumbered. It's been a while since I've walked to church (not since I stopped meeting around the corner from my house) and it's not too cold out there, so this will be nice. Hopefully it doesn't snow - but if it does, I can always beg a ride home. (:

This Morning-

-I woke up with this song in my head:
(specifically the part that begins around 1:34)

Determined to listen to it in the car on my ipod, I was extremely disappointed to see that somehow after having to redo my playlists, it didn't make it back on.

I made do with this one:

:which I also love, so it turned out okay.
(perhaps I should take it as a good sign that I belted out the song while alone in the car)

And don't worry, I've had my fix of the other song now.

I'm good.

I Really Like This Song-
