You Know You're Busy When...

... you have to make an abbreviated list that gives examples of what happens because you're too busy (see below):

- dead fish
- lost phone
- no sleep
- sleep @ work
- nervous breakdown
- writing mania
- powerpoint trauma
- too, many, commas,!
- no walks
- no dog park

- not enough time for more.

Over 40 Unread...

... in my gmail inbox right now.

I've been busy.

I'll get that number down.

Sometime.

Hopefully soon.

No Matter What -

- He's got it.

I was watching 'Once Upon a Honeymoon.'

Cary Grant was surrounded by bad actors, a weak plot and a poor script. Throw Ginger Rogers with a fake accent into the mix and it was looking like a train wreck.

He smiled...via

And I bought it all.

No joke.

It happened pretty much that quickly.

While getting that image I saw a couple of websites that talked about George Clooney being 'the next Cary Grant' and the 'spitting image.'

I say one thing -

Hell No.

Clooney is no Grant.

It's Just Possible...

... that I've been listening to this song, and watching this music video a lot in the past day. And by a lot, I mean while taking a meal break or standing break from writing my thesis (which is almost done, hallelujah!).

I'll tell you why on Saturday.

Or, probably Sunday.

In all honesty, it might be Monday.

But don't worry.

I will tell you.

Have Mercy*

*20 million points if you know the show I'm referring to.
here's your hint*
and here's a way hotter picture (:

A month or so ago I got asked to be the secretary in the relief society. In that first week, I met with Amber, the president, to set up visiting teaching assignments. While doing so, we glanced through the members ages, just out of curiosity.

Amber and I are both turning 30 this year, and were hoping we weren't the only 'grandmas' in the ward.

Skip ahead to tonight.

Amber and I are back in the clerk's office, on the computer, looking at the relief society list.

Somehow we ended up with the membership records of people who fall in our age group (18-30) who happen to be in the local prison right now. This being the case, some of those people had been given visiting teaching assignments...

This was a mistake.

One we intended to fix tonight.

Imagine my dismay when I realized that 3 of the girls we saw were in the same boat (nearing 30 and still single with no relationship on the horizon - that last part was admittedly projection on my part)...

are inmates.

Amber said it looks like we're beating the odds since when you're turning 30 the choices seem to be between getting married and going to prison.

And they might even have a better chance of getting married while they're in prison, then we do while in our ward.**

**so, here i was going to post a newspaper article or something similar that proved that people really do get married while in prison. in case you needed proof.**

i didn't find that, but i did find these gems:

how to marry a prisoner
i love tips 2 and 5

chapel of love ceremonies: weddings behind bars
with reverend starlene - i'm not lying about that name either

wow.

wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

in other words:

HAVE MERCY.

So Worth It -

For a possible free trip to Paris I will do almost anything you ask me to.

Almost.

Post a link to a blog? Most definitely.

Here you go.

Two Cute Girls

Yesterday I changed by gmail chat status to: 'LILIA!!! WHERE ARE YOU? (:'

Lilia is my younger sister's oldest daughter (turning 2 tomorrow!) who I haven't seen/talked to in way too long. And she's adorable. I figured if/when my sister saw that, she'd open up a video chat with Lilia around.

Turns out she was clicking on my name to chat with me before she noticed my status.

Perfect.

I also got to talk to her two boys for a minute.

Aren't they cute?


Thanks for the call girlies!
