Simple



Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.

Some Stuff

My mind is in ninety-seven different places right now.

* After yelling at Sir on Sunday afternoon, I realized he was just attempting to get me to see what I already knew

* I don't mind spending time in the kitchen if I know the results will be appreciated

* New friends that seem like old friends are great

* I love my job

* Driving a manual is still a bit of an ego boost after thirteen years

* Hallmark doesn't have a card for everything, close but not everything

* I use children as buffers

* Fireworks make me smile, no matter what else may be going on

* Marriage looks good on my friends

* Ace has been gone for six months now

* Bitz is in Mexico for three weeks

* Nasty Neighbor was up when I got home at 3 this morning, his name is still accurate

* I don't know a lot about musical artists but I know I LOVE Alexi Murdoch, enough to want to name a son Murdoch {I do not jest, do not steal this or I will throw a fit} ... and I found him on my own

* Edna is no Bea but she's certainly pretty and making people happy

* When I have polka-dots on my toes I can go at least three extra weeks between addressing them as people are just so mesmerized by the dots and don't care about the chipping

* Talking to Papa is one of my favorite ways to go from afternoon into evening

* I feel like a Von Trapp child, "Uncle Max {and family}! Uncle Max {and family}! Uncle Max {and family}!" is going to be here in less than a month for good

* Encouraging people to do something daring makes me wonder what if I'd ever be willing to do the same thing or something equal to

* I haven't been a resident of Indiana in ten years

* Our cable is on the fritz, there is sound but no picture ... Buba is going to have to take care of that

* I'd rather people read my eyes than try to figure out what I'm trying to say

* My co-workers make me laugh all of the time

* It looks like E might be following R down a road that doesn't end up where she'd like to be, I'm not sure I can fix it but I'll talk to Bunk and see if he'll at least yell for me

* When my Grandfather has an opinion about something or someone it is unquestionable truth to me

* Rolling down a hill on a Sunday afternoon is still fun

* I'd probably go camping with a smile on my face and without a single whine if the stars were out

* I think hitting the high B in church is hilarious

* BWo and Bintzy are not in my life enough

* Yellow shoes, flats or heels, are happy shoes ~ not as happy as my Rainbows but pretty darn close and the only option if I'd like happy feet at work

* When I grow up I'd like to be able to knit a pair of booties for my child an hour before my brother's wedding without batting an eye

* Hearing Sir be human is for a moment unnerving but then hopeful

* Gas prices are going down-ish ... right?

* I know the people that created the Mormon Bachelorette and I'm proud to say that

* Girlfriend is too big to pickup but old enough to tell me exactly what she is thinking and feeling

* Being at my place with that company was better than I could have hoped for

* I'd like to be able to fix the world {and by world I mean my friends} with a personalized cake - each cake providing the hope and confidence that everyone needs to succeed and smile, or at least just smile ... One cake at a time I suppose

* Mom and Dad together makes my heart smile

* Having Cowboy with my dog back home is like a Rolo McFlurry ... FANTASTIC

* Being told to fight for something that I don't know how to fight for keeps me up at night

* Having two Bishops is really the best way to go about life, one for the kind and gentle pushing and one of the 'Kasi-go-take-what-you-should-already-have-because-you-should' is just the perfect balance

* Dried mangoes are my favorite

* Richard Samuel will always sing my favorite song

* I'll be seeing HP 7.2 twice within a twelve hour period next week ~ this speaks to the coolness of Buba and my job

* There is a music video for Fox Run in my mind

* The tomato-basil potato chips that Lays makes are FROM HEAVEN

* Some days the only thing to do is find the perfect spot on the couch with the train blanket and watch Sound of Music and the Office until sleep wins

* Pete got his badge ... legit badges are the new thing for me I think

* The clouds are still hanging, not falling

* I like when people bring up Straight No Chaser and I can say, "Oh, Mike and Ryan?  Yep, I know them"

* Tri-Cities never stops calling my name

* Spending time with Brandon and Stacy puts everything into perspective

* I'm a blonde even though every Tuesday and every other Saturday I seriously contemplate going dark again

* Seeing non-work email addresses in my work email when I get back from a meeting makes me remember that there is life out there

* He's not my type at all and yet here I am

* Maren and Jill are suppose to be in town this week or next with their children ... I will stalk them down

* Mt Shasta is another word for heaven

* My cousin Jacob truly is my favorite

* McKenna is coming with UNCLE MAX! and that means my room will be cleaner as I believe in supporting the rising generations shopping habits

* I am proud to say I can go {and do} five or six days between hair washings ~ I get complimented most on day 4 and 5
