I know I said I'd take a break from posting, but I wanted to share,
a few things that made my week more interesting...

Having to say, "Do NOT put the dog's tail into the fan!"

Hearing about how the other inmates saved cookies for a lady who's "paying off" her traffic fines with weekends in jail...from the pulpit during a fasting and testimony meeting.

Reading about this tiny microwave that plugs into a USB port on a computer. You know, in case you need a very small bag of popcorn while you're facebooking and you just can't pull yourself away.

Telling Pickles, more than once, that I had no idea if it would take longer for someone with a tan to die in the desert than it would take a really white person to die.

Having all my kids ride home in their undies after an accidental swimming lesson in a park pond.

Finding sandwich meat stuffed into an empty water bottle in the fridge.

Finding this video on boortz.com. I'm terrified of tornadoes, almost to the point of phobia. It's ridiculous really, I've never even been through one. But each Spring, I read stories, watch videos, and view pictures of the massive storms and generally scare myself stupid about it. Like it's tornado porn. So anyway, this video just feeds the fear. Also, I'm starting a therapy fund for myself.

Hearing one of the counselors in Primary say she must be smoking something because she messed up what she was saying. In front of the kids.

Taking the kids to see UP. It was really an excellent movie. I laughed throughout the movie because it was genuinely funny. There wasn't even any hidden innuendo to try to keep the adults entertained! I don't know about you, but I hate it when directors think they need to add some "hidden" sexual humor in a kids' movie to try to keep the adults happy. Congratulations Pixar! Another good one, so thanks. Also, I definitely recommend the 3-D version.

Watching Bud dance. Probably the best thing all week. He's insanely shy, so seeing him bounce around like a chicken perched on an electric fence was AWESOME!

Funny, funny stuff!

Ha ha. I definitely laughed out loud, as I was able to experience the whole jail thing. It wasn't until that moment that I was glad my children really don't listen in church.

My sister in law has an insane fear of tornadoes. Oh, and we live in a place where tornadoes are a threat pretty much 0% of the time. But every time it storms (which isn't even all that often either), she freaks out. I'll have to send her your link. Hee hee!

And also, holy crap, that was scary. Thanks for giving me something new to fear because somehow I've never been afraid of a tornado until now.

When we planned on moving here I was so worried about tornadoes!!! That is all I would talk to R about! For months I couldn't think about anything else.
But I have chilled out about it.
UNTIL NOW!!!! Thanks for the video! (0:
I wish I had been here for the "Smokin' somethin'". I heard about it and I can see her saying that! Halarious!
We also saw Up and really enjoyed it! I bet the 3D was amazing!
