Cool Skit

This skit is really deep and really cool. It wasn't done by an LDS group, but it still captures many concepts we believe in.

How We Sleep

I think today, I'll tell weird sleep stories.

Last night, we were both sound asleep, I was dreaming about work, and all of a sudden, my knee and hip totally locked up! It hurt like crazy! So I'm wimpering and groaning in pain, and Daniel wakes up in his half-awake daze, "What? What? Are you okay? Am I okay? What's going on?" while I'm in pain wondering why the phone number I was putting into the computer isn't going in. Also, I couldn't figure out why NuSkin turned off the lights in my building. I remember saying, "my hip hurts!" then it popped, stopped hurting, I said that my hip popped, and we both went back to sleep as if nothing had happened. Then I realized I wasn't at work.

Another night, Daniel was asleep, I came in to the room, he sat straight up looking confused, I asked him if he was okay, he said yes, sat there for a minute, then fell back on to his pillow.

Daniel came home from work one day to find me asleep on the couch. As he went into the kitchen, I started yelling at him for not setting up the ADR right! (The ADR is a weird program we have at work. It's convenient for everyone involved, but can be a total pain when it messes up.) Apparently I just talked to him about it and other nonsensical things for a while, got quiet, then woke up happy to see him.


We're weird when we sleep.

Daily Update Which is Increasingly Less "Daily"

So for today's supposed "Daily Update," let me start by saying, WINTER NEEDS TO DIE! I am SO tired of it being cold and paying the heating bill! Plus, there is seriously nothing to do during winter except stay inside and pretend it is warm.

Sorry, I just needed to vent that one first, otherwise it would keep leaking into this particular blog. We're doing good, Daniel is getting closer and closer to graduation, and I am looking forward to him working instead of me. Don't get me wrong, I like working, but I don't like the feeling of being stuck in a job I don't want to be at in 10 years. The job I have is great, but it's not what I want for the rest of my/his/our life/lives. (Yeah, didn't quite know how to phrase that.) For everyone dying for us to say, "we're pregnant!" Totally not the case, so please don't die. (Ha ha! I bet I tricked someone!)

Anyway, my short blog needs to end by saying, watch Four Gregs! It's full of random hilariousity, and the site itself is fun. If you haven't seen Homestar Runner before, start now. I love it.

I totally couldnt figure out how to put this on the blog itself, but it's still funny

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Completely Disgusted

Alright, I don't like to rant very often, but I think this one deserves it. I just read a very distressing news article which describes how a man was trampled to death right after a wal-mart store opened yesterday morning. Apparently, he was knocked down, and the throngs of people didnt seem to care and continued to mob their way into the store. When it was made known that a man was in danger, officials tried to close the store, but the mobs became irate, refused to stop, and kept flooding in.

How corrupt are we as a society when a man's life means less then grabbing an item on sale? Even if the mob didnt know what was going on at the time, they should have stopped when the loudspeakers were telling them to stop because a man was being trampled. Not only is that corrupt, but to make matters worse, this mob was trampling employees who were attempting to save the man. Here's the link I have for the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081129/ap_on_re_us/wal_mart_death;_ylt=Av9pEqtukHohEWY0Hrh2yOkDW7oF

This isn't just a problem in New York that no one needs to worry about way over here. How many of us rushed into a store the second the doors opened on black Friday? Not everyone is guilty, and I do not intend to target any specfic individuals. I mean to write this to whoever may come across my blog. All I can say is that I am deeply disgusted with how our society values their "things" over the people around them. Today, I am no where near proud to be an American.

Halloween and such

Before Halloween, we had a mini family reunion. Joseph, Ashley, and Shineah all came to my house for food and fun. Before Joseph and Ashley came, Daniel and Shineah had one of their extremely intense Boggle matches. (As always, Shineah blew Daniel and I out of the water. Daniel did really good for himself, and I was just happy to get a consecutive score of "1")



Then Halloween came! We went to a ward Halloween party together. Daniel threw his costume together from stuff he found in the house. The paint is suppossed to be temporary hair dye I got for either Halloween or a prank last year, he used a face mask to make his hair grey, and already had firefighter stuff. The sad thing is that there are a couple babies at church who LOVE him. (It's really funny. They get all excited and start laughing when they see him in Sacrament.) Anyway, when they saw him, they started screaming in absolute terror! My poor husband didn't get to play with his friends that night.




I was wearing spandexy pants, put shorts on over them, and Daniel gave me an old shirt which we cut up into a mask and cape. We tried putting an orange "S" for "Super Stephanie" on my shirt with crepe paper. Not the best plan. Even without my S, I thought I looked really cool until Buzz Lightyear showed up at the party. I was very showed up.



These are our good friends Kevin and Christy. They got married the day after us in the same temple, and were our next door neighbors for a while. They're just awesome.
