OUR NEW HOUSE!


He he, just kidding! ;) We drove up to see the new Draper Temple, which is still being built, and holy cow you should see the houses surrounding it! It's hard not to have worldly thoughts while being by that temple when it's surrounded by massive mansions! Then again, it seems that most temples are generally in pretty nice neighborhoods.

BEES AND PENNIES

Awhile ago my sister posted about how pennies help bee stings. I thought, "What in the world, I've never heard of such a thing?" I had always just used baking soda mixed with a little water, isn't that what everyone else uses? The other day I was outside sitting on a bench while my kids were playing when I felt something very sharp and painful on the back of my arm. Sure enough, there was a bee stinging me! I just sat there, not saying a thing, just looking at my arm. Then I remembered the pennies that my sister had talked about. I ran inside and grabbed a penny and taped it to my arm where the bee stung me. About two hours later I took the penny off and there was no trace of anything ever stinging me! It really does work! Who knew that pennies could actually help with bee stings? Craziness I tell you, craziness!

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

To many of you this is going to sound silly. When did people start using only one space after a period or a question mark in a sentence? Apparently it's been going on for a long time, but nobody told me. I have actually noticed this on many of your blogs and wondered about it. I have recently learned that that's what they're teaching in schools now, one space after a period. I guess I am out of the loop. It's a hard habit to break, changing two spaces to one space. Is anyone else in the dark on this or am I the only one?

REAL OR NOT?

I found this on this person's blog, it's crazy! If it's true, I never want to eat fast-food again!

POOR PINCHY

Pinchy was belly-up this morning. Sorry honey, I know you loved him, but it's probably for the best. I am sure he is happy now in crawdad heaven with his crawdad brothers and sisters.

ZOOMING IN

I saw this thing called a Photo Macro Challenge. You zoom in on different objects to make cool looking pictures. I don't have a really fancy camera, but this is what I ended up with.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

I am very particular when it comes to doing my laundry. Everything has to be separated into the "correct" pile and folded in the "correct" way. I sort my laundry into the following piles:

  • Whites
  • Darks
  • Pastels
  • Towels & Sheets
The other day I was washing my white towels. The buzzer went off on the washer, so I ran downstairs to the laundry room to transfer the washed towels into the dryer. I opened the lid and to my disbelief I found pink towels. I gasped in horror! How could this happen? I am so careful when I sort my piles. I started looking through the towels and lo and behold, there was Addi's new red shirt! Who did this to me?! Was it one of my kids? Was it a ghost? Who? Pink towels do not mesh well with my OCD. (I explained my OCD in an older post.) I took the red shirt out of the load and immediately washed the towels again with lots of bleach. The bleach helped somewhat, but I still have light pink towels. Okay, so this was nobody's fault but my own. I must have gathered the red shirt up with my pile of white towels. I guess this happened just to teach me not to be so obsessive compulsive with the little, meaningless things in life. I really think that God has a sense of humor. :) I will deal with the pink towels..... until I go to the store, then I will buy some new ones. :)
