How to Tell You're Not Mom's Favorite

I just got a giggle and thought you might appreciate this one.  Yes, I'm still alive in school, barely.  Hey, what can you do?  Have a great week!

Busy me and Wedding Cake

I have been hearing complaints, that my faithful following is starving for some news of my person and doings... I can assure you that I am still alive, but I'm not sure for how long, or how exactly I'm managing, it's a minute by minute affair. Funny thing, I was thinking on Sunday evening how nice it was to be caught up, but had a little tickle in the back of my mind like I was missing something...I was. Luckily (for those who believe in luck) I was told today by my desk mate that we had a paper due tomorrow...so, as i always say, "No rest for the wicked!" I've got to work on that. I try to keep myself busy to keep me out of trouble, but...well, you know how it is.


A few notes on my latest doings...My cousin and I made a wedding cake for my aunt, she liked it and there was practically nothing left of it when all was said and done. I felt really good about it and next will be doing one for a friend...but not quite yet. It's really fun and I like experimenting with new designs and things. This is now my third real big wedding cake. I feel more confident every time, so the next time you hear of somebody looking for a cake...I just might want to do it.
Other than that...what have I been doing? Not very much, unless you count getting students ready for their finals, getting ready for my midterms, writing papers, working, reading some great literature and all and all becoming a more well rounded person, and not just my lower end. Oh, and I also went standby to General Conference, which was amazing, but I did just standby, I didn't get into a seat in the conference center, next time I'll make sure I have a ticket...it's way too cold to hang around outside.

Today is a great day!

I apologize for being so remiss in my duties to my adoring public (all three of you who faithfully check my blog) I will use the busy excuse only to say that I really have been trying to do everything and it doesn't work as well as I would wish. It does work a lot better than it should, and for this I am so thankful for the blessings and divine help that I receive on a continuing basis. I attended the Women's Conference this last Saturday and the one thing that I really loved was the comment to "pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then you are the miracle". That's definitely one that I will be using, oh, NOW.

Other fun things...I am so excited for General Conference this weekend!!! I will be attending one of the sessions in the conference center and for that I am grateful and excited.

Concert schedule

I have had a couple of questions recently related to my concert schedule.  I think the best way to answer them is to refer you all to the BYU men's chorus website, I realize that I am not in Men's Chorus and you might all wonder what their schedule has to do with ours...Everytime we have a concert, it will be the mens chorus and womens chorus that performs. (in addition to other choirs at times)  Anyhow, here is the link...let me know if you would like for me to arrange tickets...
