While Jacob was in San Diego

• I hosted the Bishopric FHE. A small group of us played a Star Wars trivia game. I of course had my traditional Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for the treat. I love this treat because I don't have to make anything. I also have a coupon for buy one dozen get the second dozen free. A good treat at a great deal--you can't beat that.


• I spent one evening doing endowments at the temple with the ward.


• I had my middle eastern dance class.


• I took Cuddles to get her nails clipped and also to get some of her shots. I go to this bargain place, however I had to wait forever and it ended up taking about 3 hours.


• I attended various back-to-school meetings and set up my lab.


• I taught my first week of school.


• I read a book.


• I looked online for new recipes. I am really struggling with eating. Nothing sounds good and I honestly would rather be hungry than eat. I figured if I could find some new recipes this may help me eat better. Trust me, I don't have an eating disorder, I just really hate cooking and nothing ever seems to be worth eating.


• I discovered the amazing Eyre family and their blogs and valuesparenting.com. I went on an Eyre binge and checked out as many of their books at the library and read up on good parenting. I also was introduced and actually checked out the book written by said Eyre family on "How to Talk to Your Child about Sex." I was intrigued that they would encourage parents to have the birds and bees talk when children are 8 years old. This way the communication door would be open, children really don't know enough yet to be too embarrassed, and you can influence they way they view sex and leave a wholesome impression before the world distorts everything.


• I went to an enrichment opening social. We played a cool get-to-know you game. Have people line up in two even lines. The person opposite from you is your one-question conversation partner. Out of the norm questions were written on a piece of paper and you would talk to your partner about it for one minute (literally, she had a timer). Then the paper is passed down the line one way while one of lines rotated in the opposite direction. This way you got to know at least one obscure thing about everyone in attendance. It was fun.


• I had the viser in the Honda fixed at the dealership for free as it is still under warranty.


• I spent an evening with John, Amber, and kids eating dinner and playing a game. I'm sure John and Amber were taking pity on me.


• I met with a Caroline from Classic Demo's so I can have adventures demonstrating new products in stores and earn some quick cash.


• I wrote and mailed letters inviting everyone to mom's surprise birthday party.


• I bought a box of peaches from


• I did not do any cooking. I mainly ate sandwiches, peaches, toast, and cereal/oatmeal.
