3 seconds of fame

I've totally got a line in here.  Not a singing line, a speaking line. Right in the middle. And I may have helped out with the yelling/whispering, too.





p.s. this is done by my friend Colin's band, Tighty Willis (I'm not sure if they update that page. find them on facebook here). 

Hooray!

Home births on the rise in the U.S.

simplifying

Working on simplifying my life a little.

I've been feeling stressed even on my days off from work!  I figured that's probably a bad sign.

In searching for some counsel regarding balance or simplifying, I remembered this gem:



A talk from Elder Uchtdorf, October 2010 General Conference, entitled "Of Things That Matter Most".

Love this talk for a million reasons.

Also, this one by Elder Ballard on a similar subject, is great. 

today was a beautiful day:
work, aka helping breastfeeding moms in the morning
then, to the library book sale (best thing ever)
then to chat it up with a great friend
vagina monologues rehearsal
girl talk with a fellow vagina monologue-r

and now... here i am. 

and i have the house to myself.



this is definitely

a poetry and candlelight kind of night.

Today, I was once again worrying about what I really want to do with my life, if I really do want to do what I think I want to do (will doing what I think I want to do really be as enjoyable to me as I think it will be?), and if/how I'll ever be able to get there.  To that... unknown place.

I also happened to have a song stuck in my head today.  As I pondered casually upon my future, I began to hum and sing the words to that song again:

"Don't you worry your pretty little mind..."

And suddenly, the meaning of that statement really hit me.

Don't worry about it. Everything will work out fine.

Got it.

Those salted chocolate cookies?

Still chewy and fantastic today.


Also, cool news of the day:

I am going to be reading a part in The Vagina Monologues.
It's even the part I wanted to get.  I am excited!

Nervous, but excited.
