i have a great idea

so it is 8:30am may 30, 2008
we are eating breakfast talking about the day ahead of us
trying to explain about the funeral and grandmother dying
it is a sad thing, a sad event
"will there be lots of people crying?"
yes, xander people will be crying

"i have a great idea!
let's be the family that doesn't cry!"

something clever?

must i have something witty or clever to say in order to post? i've put it off because i've nothing of value to add.
so i'll stop agonizing over it and just put my mark on this blog.
hello blog readers! i'm here.
my kids are beautiful, my husband is a life-saver, and the school year is a week and a half away from being over and with it my sanity might be restored.
so here's to the upcoming summer. may it allow me the tranquility and personal reflection i need to wash away the chaos that was this school year and prepare as never before for the 2008-2009 class to come.
consider my mark made!

This is My Favorite....

I so want to have a child that can do this! How do you even teach something like that. Perhaps by example. If that is the case then I should have no problem. I do have a pretty mean evil look!

It makes me laugh everytime!

I'm In Love...

So, I was walking into the subway station in Hong Kong after buying some suits in Mong Kok and my jaw dropped. I think I finally found my one true love...

...Beard Papa!

I never thought that I would be so happy to see that old man's face. I am forever indebted to him for introducing me to the greatest cream puffs ever invented. And what makes me even happier is that there are hundreds of stores in Japan--they even have mango and strawberry flavored ones. Asia is the coolest!

Epidemic

I am really confused on a new growing trend in Utah. I've seen this way too much lately and it's well......disturbing! I think it's great when 2 people meet each other and fall in love. I think it's fine that they are willing to show other people that they love each other as well. I do believe, however, that this should all take place in the appropriate places and at the appropriate times. I think subtle P.D.A. (Public Displays of Affection) is warranted and a great way to express how you feel to others, but what I'm seeing lately goes well beyond the unwritten parameters of proper P.D.A. etiquette. So, here is what I want to know........


Why do people feel the need to hold hands while exercising?!?!


I don't get it! It makes no sense and just looks stupid.
