Doin' Donuts

It's a quiet, snowy, Sunday afternoon.  We're still in our church clothes. My teenage son, who owns this 1979 Datsun ZX, said,  "Mom, let's go do donuts!"  

I knew that his kind of donuts were OK for my diet.  I didn't consider the effect on my heart!

With a little Blues Traveler playing on the stereo, we went to the junior high school and got a few decent ones in.  The seminary parking lot was small but not so good.

The next stop, the church parking lot, filled with cars.  

A little more successful.

So much for a quiet, Sunday afternoon.

Do you call it Doing Donuts in your neck of the woods?

Conflict of Interest and Camille's Debut!

I went to our local high school to watch the varsity volleyball game.   I was cheering for the other team!  Number 11 is on the other team.  She's my niece, Katie, and she's good!

It was fun to cheer for her but I felt a tad bit guilty. 

Number 9, on our home team, is in our ward and I "played" volleyball with her last year.

The "other" team won!  Good job, Katie!

Today, my daughter, Camille, was on Studio 5 because she gets to drive a Chevrolet Traverse for a month and blog about it!  You can see her cute self here:

I hope I can drive that loaded vehicle before she has to return it!

I have a question.  What should I do with 6 cases of Lime-Away?  Maybe I should include a bottle with each giveaway I'm having.  If you haven't entered, you better go here!

Officially Moved Out!

Jordan's getting married on Friday.  They found a basement apartment about a mile away from our house. This apartment is in Jordan's best friend's parents' home.  It's furnished with living room furniture and a big screen TV.  He's living large!
Last night he announced that he's officially moved out!  He then left to spend the night at his new abode.

This morning I got a text from him:  "I have no dishes here.  Can I come home and eat?"

I hope they get some dishes for their wedding.

Out of the "Mouths" of Babes

"S" was in our kindergarten class last year.  This year she's in first grade and is one of our speech students. After displaying anger toward a technician in her class, she was asked to write a letter of apology.  She has demonstrated considerable progress in her expressive language, sincerity, spelling and in her penmanship. 

Now, if she could just learn to spell "Snotty"

Tomorrow is the last day for my anniversary giveaway!  You don't even have to spell correctly to sign up!

One Whole Year!

A year ago I came out of the "blogging closet."  

It has been an interesting journey.  I look at things in a different light, I take more pictures, I attempt to hone my writing skills, and I've made many friends.
Below is my first post.  I got one comment - from my brother.  I believe it was his first and last comment.

Stay tuned for a blog-iversary giveaway.

Living Dangerously

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. I had the day off work so I was busy cleaning, running errands, cooking, etc. While delivering a visiting teaching paper to a woman, I was accosted by an adorable, brown-eyed, black haired, 9 year old girl who asked if I'd like to buy some lemonade. I walked to her lemonade stand and saw some cups sitting on the small table filled with an orange liquid. I asked her about the lemonade and she told me it wasn't really lemonade but more of a juice. As I gave her the money and chose my drink, wondering how long it had been sitting uncovered in the sun and imagining how it was prepared, I had second thoughts about drinking it. I drank it anyway. I got in my car. Realizing that I may have just consumed a lethal dose of kid germs. I drove the rest of the way home without a seatbelt.
