Some Random Thoughts

I've been away from the blogging world for awhile...guess it's been nearly a month since I posted anything. So a few random thoughts from the past few weeks:

"Is he human? Check his pulse!" shouted by the basketball commentator about Jimmer Fredette's awesome first half in the BYU-New Mexico MWC championship semi-finals. Yes, I love Jimmer (and as a side note, his hair is just like Aubrey's--dark, thick and kinda curly). If only I was 25 years younger...

Read Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. The chapter on purses made me laugh out loud!! But, I did buy a new purse yesterday--kind of out of the box for me, or maybe not so much...
Just got to record this one so my aging brain can remember in years to come--Carson's signature farewell "Toodles."

Buying a headstone is kind of a surreal experience. Wonder how it's going to feel when it's in place?

Tender mercies come in so many ways...and nearly every day.

It's hard to be a teenager, and hard to be the parent of a teenager. That being said, I LOVE my teenagers! They are great kids with awesomeness (is that a word?) all through them.

It's hard to be a missionary, but lots easier to be the parent of a missionary (at least for me). I LOVE my missionary! He's awesome too. (And I love the missionaries/returned missionaries from my extended families too.)

Despite the changeable weather and the difficulty of dressing for said weather, Spring can be a wonderful time of year.

  1. Gideon can't stand Spring because skiing is almost over and sneezing is just beginning.

    Cute purse!

    And I am sure the headstone thing is tough. Warm wishes.

  2. Loved the random thoughts!! You haven't blogged in a month, and I haven't read anyone's blogs in over a month. What a quick, busy six weeks it has been.

    You are so hip right now. You have the cute purse, you love Jimmer, and you're a cool mom of teenagers. I want to be like you!!

    And since you passed on the Nora Ephron book, I'll second your book review. I laughed a lot. It scares me a little, though, that I was laughing all about things written for middle aged women. That's me, huh???

    I'm glad you and your random thoughts are my friends!

  3. A few random comments on your random post:

    ~I have had a random things post floating through my mind. But I don't know that I'll actually get around to posting it. . .

    ~Love the purse! I don't think I would be that brave! (But I can admire it on someone else!) It will look good on you! (Tessa just came over and squealed "OOOHHHH!! Whose's blog is this? It's so cute and I love that pink tutu purse!)

    ~I've heard buying a headstone is hard. Hope you were able to make decisions and you'll feel okay about it when it's done and in place.

    ~So thankful to hear tender mercies are abundant. I truly pray for those for you.

    ~Get your toenails painted so you're ready for spring!!

  4. How weird that I read that book just a month ago, and it didn't come up in our book chat! We always did like similar things. Jimmer is just one more of those.
