Its been a great (read: LONG) summer!

OK so I am hiding in my room. There is something about the 5 o'clock hour that makes me feel like yelling "THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED!" I know these mommy burn out moments are just that...moments. But yikes!!!

And I have a fun pic to share. I wanted to get the boys all some new shoes for school so I took them over to Journey's at the mall. I let the gal help them pick out the shoes they liked and figure out sizes and then I said, "OK, now you know our style and sizes, would you be willing to go in the back and find me a smokin' deal on some shoes??" She smiled and disappeared in the back. So instead of paying $12o for 3 new pairs of shoes, we got this awesome little set of kicks for $10 each, plus I added funky laces. :)

This audio recording of President Thomas S. Monson's recent General Conference address is both filling my soul and pricking my conscience tonight.  Wonderful.  Take a listen...

I love this quote..." It is always our choice which [of our] secret gardens we will attend..."

I did it!

I sang at my first real deal public gig last night!  I did about 20 songs.  Mostly jazz.  I was surprised by how nervous I wasn't... I think I get more nervous at church.  Maybe that's because I know I will see church people again. :)   Steak house peeps... not so likely to see again. hehe

Thanks to the world's most amazing guitar player, Dillon Hodges for inviting me to sing.  Look him up!  He's literally the best of the best and he is 18!!

Things that crack me up when I ought to be in bed

This is a silly SnorgTee - made me laugh.

Me n the JareBare have also been cracking up at urbandictionary.com tonight. For instance:

Cobra Yawn: The involuntary spraying of saliva while yawning. Much like the venom spray from a cobra. In most cases the yawner doesn't realized it has happened only finding the aftermath once the yawn is over.

I just cobra yawned all over my keyboard five minutes prior to writing this definition. 

And...

Involuntary "You too":  When out of habit you reply to a comment with "You too". This happens to the best of us.  Two common situations of the Involuntary "You Too"

Girl: Well happy birthday man. Have fun at Sea World tomorrow.

Guy: Thanks, you too.

**uncomfortable silence**

 

Parent: Drive safe and have fun.

Son: Ok you too.

**uncomfortable silence**

Also...

Aisle Salmon:  The act of moving in the opposite direction of everyone else using the aisle. While they can be spotted in any type of aisle, they are frequently seen on airlines during loading and deplaning.

Did you see the 'aisle salmon' trying to work his way back five rows to get a roller bag our of the overhead while everyone was trying to get off the plane? 

:) Sleepy time.
