"Die in the Alligator River!"

Now that you mention it, I do feel like I'm drowning a bit.
And if the alligators don't get me, finals will.

So much to do, so little time... CHOMP!!!

Quote Attributed to Leon, the TA. Careful--he gets really excited about psychometrics.

Guava On My Mind

I know it's crazy, but I keep having dreams about guavas.


The smooth green skin, the beautiful, white fleshy fruit,
and the little crunchy seeds in a delicious, gooey center.

Oh, they are so good!!!

I really, really want one (or two)--
so much so that they have infiltrated my sleeping awareness.

And yet, in my dreams, I never get a single bite.

Stupid subconscious!

A Poem About Blogging

Life has been busy.
Yet, I haven’t a word
To write on my blog--
It’s rather absurd.

No thoughts or ideas,
No jokes or good laughs,
No insights or fun,
No recipes or crafts.

Sorry to disappoint
Those who like to read.
Perhaps by tomorrow,
I’ll have what I need

To write something truly
Remarkable and great:
Something I did,
Or something I ate,

Something I heard,
Or something I saw
To share with you here
And leave you in awe.

I won’t disappoint.
Until then sit tight:
It is forthcoming--
And is sure to delight.

--Me

Dealing with the Media

Yep, just got off the phone with Channel 2.
Apparently they want to talk to the Director, too.

Two news stations in two days.

I'm beginning to feel like a personal publicist.

They really should start paying me more.

Because You Just Might Be on TV

I just took a phone call from KSL.
They are coming to interview the Director
who sits in the office right next to mine.

You never know where those
stray camera shots are going to end up.

Good thing I wore clean clothes and am
having a great hair day.

***Holy cow!!!
Sarah Dallof just walked into my office!!!
I hope I don't faint...

Textbook Tragedy

I somehow managed to put an almost perfect, inky, black thumbprint in my Psychometric textbook, marring the pristine whiteness of page number 190, and dropping the book's resale value as it is no longer 'mark and highlight free'. Sad.

A Peck of Pickled Peppers

This is what I did this week:


Aren't they pretty?
Delicious too!

Sandwiching

I love lunch.
It has got to be my favorite time of the day.

Bon appetit!

My Own Fault?

Perhaps it is from pulling tomato vines in the early morning air.
Or from not wearing socks with my skirt.
Perhaps I stayed out too late and too long talking outside.
Or maybe it was one of those elders I hugged at my mission reunion.
Perhaps I just did not get enough sleep.
Or it could be my psyche repeatedly telling me I'd rather be in bed.

Whatever it was, I somehow seem to have caught a cold.

It was a wonderful weekend, though.

Dairy Queen


I just yogurt-ed myself.

Don't ask.

So not cool.
