It's About Time!

I'm back, but only for my sister Jess. You see, for five short months she worked in my office, and we spent nearly every lunch break together.


She quit.


For a good reason, really: her and her husband are headed to Ohio soon for medical school. And because I am going to miss her, and I have my lunch breaks to myself, I will blog so she knows what's going on here in Utah.


Plus, it's good for me to remember to be thankful for 5 things a day. So here are my 5 for today:


1. Salad fresh from the garden, peas fresh from the garden, grilled chicken breast, Ranch dressing and fiber buds (trust me - they are sooo good on salads!). That's today's lunch. I am thankful today for my daily salad.


2. My family. I just love my husband and kids. And thanks to my sister for taking our family pictures!


3. Another class finished! I need to finish my current summer class, and then I only have 4 more to go until graduation! It's within sight!


4. Books on tape. Sure makes the long commute better.


5. Fresh flowers.


Here are more family picts. You enjoy them while I enjoy my Ranch-covered fiber buds...

Technologically Challenged

I know, I know: I work with computers all day. My JOB is to work with technology. ALL day. I'm great at it, too. Promise.

So the other day, when my pay-as-you-go phone didn't work, I thought all the minutes must have been used up. I charged it. Still didn't work. I waited a couple of days. Still didn't work. I didn't know how to pay for more hours, so I did what any loving parent would do: gave it to one of my kids. After all, the best thing next to a real, working phone, is an old, non-working phone. Right? Shortly thereafter I went to work, taking Darin's phone with me.

And then I got a TEXT MESSAGE!!!

...From my son!

A) HOW DID HE GET MY BROKEN PHONE TO WORK?

B) WHERE DID HE LEARN TO TEXT? (Not from me...)

And then he called. To tell me the phone works after all.

What Has Become of Me?

A: I no longer blog a lot

B (and most importantly): I put a picture of a cat as my screensaver at work.

I don't even know myself anymore...
