Birthdays Suck

When you have no friends within a 200mile radius.

Does that mean that today is your birthday? See, you need to be on facebook. Then you would get a million birthday wishes without having to remind or tell anyone!

Anyway, Happy Birthday! Wish you were here.

Oh! Happy belated! I hope the family at least attempted to make it special. Do you feel older and wiser? I can't help thinking you almost didn't live to see this birthday. I'm still struggling to get over the shock of your accident and your miraculous recovery. May there be many more birthdays to come!

I feel horrible. I missed your birthday and didn't even realize it. I get the whole having no friends around on your birthday. That's been me for the past three years. And its going to happen again cause I'm going to be at home and none of my friends are there. I LOVE YOU!!!

I Stand All Amazed

This may not make sense. It's jumbled. But sometimes you just need to write. Or blog. And so you do. I love when stories just flow out of me. When I don't have to wrack my brain and consider this and that, and wonder about the other, and then go back and make sure that everything is plausible, or realistic, or coming across the way that I want. When I just sit down, and the words just pour forth, like a cup running over. That's been happening to me recently on some pieces I'm working on and I'm quite pleased. Interestingly, and maybe not by chance, these pieces are ones I've been doing by hand. I wrote 1600 words, and then another 1200, and then a third set I've yet to transcribe into type. But it's the old writing - the way writing used to be for me. The joy is there, and that's so, so important to me. I can't boil it down into a sure-fire recipe, but I know enough to know when I can put my thumb on it; and this is working. I hate how sloppy...

articles of 2011

Ever since 2009 when I claimed to not read articles, and then 2010 when I acknowledged that I started reading , I've been thinking about articles. Because I read A TON of them. So for this year's best of, I wanted it to be harder to choose (and it will be). I started tracking the articles I perused. Granted, I wasn't super diligent about it, so this list isn't wholly representative... but I think I did a pretty good job. So disclaimers: No guarantee any links will work. Not a comprehensive list. Don't read if there's going to be something that offends you. Articles of 2011 included: Movement to restore children's play Zodiac sign hasn't changed ONE PERIOD DAMMIT Women obsessed with LDS blogs Mormonism: room for everyone? Serenity/Firefly after Mormons and Iomega Disney ditching princesses 11 Things to Know at 25(ish) NEI Responds to AP Article Utah braces for floodings as hot temps melt snowpack Scientists create first memory expansion for brain Toddler...

Sunday School Moments - I

Okay so very recently I've been called to teach at my church. Primary. LOL I have a class with a 9-yr. old, five 10-yr. olds, and an 11-yr. old. Eesh. So some of my blogs will be about the random/funny things they say. Because, they're kids, people. And kids are freaking hilarious. Episode 1: Life Goal I want our class to be as fun as possible. I mean, kids love having fun! So I wanted to take a few minutes and get to know the kids a little better in order to cater the class more specifically to their likes and wants. So I made up this little questionnaire I had them fill out with questions like, "Favorite Color," "Something you're afraid of," "Favorite scripture story," "A game you'd love to play in class," etc. So they are penciling away at these things and I'm writing my own on the chalkboard so they know me. Well the 9-year old looks up and raises her hand. Me: "Yes?" Her: "I don't know what to put for t...
