So many things...

I still think about writing on my blog....but it just seems so foreign, so not natural so I'm going to sound disjointed and messed up like I feel. Except I'm not feeling totally messed up and disjointed like I used to but it's like I can't remember how to get in the flow. Come on blog blogginess get with it again. So once again a list for you.

Things on or around my mind.

1. I want to institute Google day at my house. I learned last week that they give their engineers one day a week to work on ANY project of their choice. These projects do not need to entail anything to do with the internet, search engines, phones, operating systems or what not. Really any project they way even farming the ocean. Why would they do this? Creative juices baby. IT so happens though, that many of their great ideas were once 'personal projects'. We NEED a Google day at least once a month around here. I feel like my juices are drying up.

2. YW Excellence program was...really excellent. I was really touched be Emily's program tonight. Those young women in our ward are really beautiful...and not just good looking though they are, but beautiful inside and out. I had a glimpse of their 'divine nature' tonight. So cliche but so true and right.

3. High school progress...is well progressing, I am still working on possibilities. It does excite me.

4. Stress about business. Why is it so slow? And I'm hoping in a month I'll be asking...why did I worry about it being so slow? I should have got everything DONE while I could.

5. I am proceeding to getting the everything done deal done.

6. As such I am about 65% done with Christmas.

7. YEAH!

8. Also I'm going to out Brenda and let the whole world know that the girl that hates to shop has ALREADY started Christmas shopping. I'm proud of you Brenda. :)

9. I was reading the Personal Progress book...as a Mom I can do the projects and get my medallion...which I never finished as a girl so I should, but dang, it's harder now AND I still get the twisted up knot stress feeling in my stomach when I read it the same as when I was a young woman.

10. I LOVE the time change. My kids have been up and ready for school on time for TWO count 'em TWO days in a row now. :)

11. Little things make me happy.

12. GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS colors around right now. White snow on the mountain with beautiful yellow leafed trees lining the roads, deep reds and still green grass. Pink clouds in the sky and brilliant blue, clean air. What more could you ask for? YES this is why I love Utah.

13. I have a bundle of adorable pictures to post...but I haven't yet.

Thirteen...that's a good number I think I'll stick with that. :)
