SARS HAS LEFT THE HOUSE HOLD!!

Ok so Starting Wednesday afternoon I swore I got the SARS disease! Working in the lovely cubicle atmosphere that I do with little to no ventilation it was only a matter of time! Little did I know this little virus would run amuk as it did! Alene got hit with it Thursday so the two of us were in sad shape that night. Luckily Melody was going to Dave's so she hopefully missed out on this crap! Our weekened was spent couch high in snot vaults "dirty kleenex" and Sonic Slush cups. I don't know what we would have done w/out Sonic and their grape slushes! Not sure about the healthy factor but they made us feel better dang it! I went and saw Sweeney Todd while under this SARS epidemic and let me tell you, the play on its own is pretty trippy, but when you add a fever, nyquil, and lack of sleep it really is quite the show! Johnny Depp was amazing though! (I know I know it's Rated R, but well...nothing I got nothing!)

I have no idea what I taught my poor Primary kids Sunday! I was way overdosed on Nyquil and couldn't breath to save my life! It was really fun when Debbie had the kids Hum part of a song during singing time. I don't know how many of you have ever tried to hum when you're nose is congested, but I would not reccommend it. I literally thought I was going to pop my eyes out of their socket. I blame the fact that I just didn't stop humming on being over medicated! I was very relieved to be able to breathe threw the nose once again this morning. I sound like I smoke at least 2 packs a day, but I can breathe again and that's all that matters! I now have to make sense out of the "work" I did on Thursday and Friday because I'm not quite sure what I was thinking when I did it. My poor reps! Well I hope all of those who read this are spared the SARS epidemic. If you do get it, my condolences to you. I will also spot you your first large grape slush and box of Puff Pluses (do not even attempt generic on this!).

NKOTB for Life Baby!!

So to my amazement I saw on the internet that NKOTB might be getting back together again. Now for those of you who know me at all this is very big news!!! I of course had to immediately research this further and came to find out that so far it is just hear say. I am starting to think though that this is just a ploy and they want to see how many people go to their official website (which I have posted under "friends") before they launch anything for sure. My dear friend Randy Quinn (bless his heart!) signed me up to receive email updates! That's when you truly learn who your real friends are!!! I of course heard about the website this morning on the radio and thought to myself as I was driving to work that I needed to check this website out so I could be in the know. How suprised I was to open up my email and to see an email already in my inbox from NKOTB.com welcoming me to the official update club. I surely thought this was divine intervention! You could almost hear the angels singing "You Got The Right Stuff" above my computer I swear! After reading that email I saw the one from Randy and realized that it was him who signed me up. Ladies its true the men in our church really do have divine insight! (there's my blaspheme for this week!!) I know many of you are probably to young, but for those of you who were also part of the NKOTB band wagon I will gladly keep you all in the loop! We will just keep "Hangin Tough" because we know "We have the right stuff" and they will never have to worry about saying "Please don't go girl" to me!! This blog gets my blaspheme and nerd alert out of the way for the week by the way!!

One of the Greatest Men

President Gordon B. Hinckley emphasizes the value of the Book of Mormon to all Christians.

So I can only imagine the reunion that took place up in Heaven last night! All the high fives by all the previous profits! Can you even imagine him getting to talk face to face with all the old school profits like Nephi and Moroni, as well as Josephe Smith etc? How cool that would be to witness! As for us here though, there is definitely a sense of loss. How great to have the knowledge we do though to know that this is not the end. President Hinkley magnified his calling a thousand times over! The growth in membership and number of temples is truly amazing. How priviledged we are to have been a alive during his time as president! He asked us all to read the Book of Mormon by year end, and I am so excited that I can say that I was one of the members who did this. (That doesn't happen very often!) Looking through the different pictures of him posted on the LDS website I found this one with the heading listed above. I have already given you all my New Year's Resolution and I plan on keeping that one and seeing it through to the end of the year; but I feel like this one has a little bit more importance so I am adding this to my list, to read the BofM before the end of the year. I am sure to many this would be easily done and could probably be done several times in a year, but I know myself so I am keeping it realistic! I am glad that in Primary this is a goal as well so along with my fellow 7 turning 8 year olds I will be reading the BofM every day. I again so grateful President Hinkley and the great Man, Leader and example that he was and is to me.
