The red planet

Doesn't Mars look beautiful? It is the little kinda reddish dot to the right of the moon.

And here it is looking all lonely and opaque all by itself...

Party!

Last night was our ward's annual Relief Society birthday. I am so kicking myself today for not taking my camera(maybe I just need to take it along all the time). I hope I can do enough justice to the beautiful decor by just describing it. The stage was set up with all RS presidents starting from 1842. Each was displayed on its own easel except for 6. The 6 were doubled with material covering the easel. --**---**---**--. Something like that. Then there was a big frame gift wrapped and presents underneath it at each end. There were nine tables set with blue napkins. Each napkin was beautifully adorned with a small RS seal. The theme for the evening was "Circle of Sisters". Each centerpiece had a rectangle tissue paper that was well coordinated with-you guessed it! CIRCLES. Cake pedestals were placed in the center of each table with cupcakes resting on top. Can I just say-BEAUTIFUL!!

Today??

I love going to the dentist. If my insurance would pay for a cleaning every 2 months-I'M SO THERE!! Unfortunately I only get this 2 times a year(call the WAAA-mbulance)
I recently experienced some dental work and the numbness that goes with it.
*"come in and make yourself comfortable" OK- it comes to mind that these experiences have always been easy-"this will numb your mouth so we can work with no feeling on your part"OK-this part has never bothered me-wait. has the needle always been that big? i think i should close my eyes-NOW! "we'll be back in a few minutes to give that ample time to sart working" OK-dum-de dum. i am humming to myself. it has now been 1 minute and nothing-oh oh wait what that slight tingling? i think its working. are they ever coming back? I KNOW I NEED TO BE NUMB EVERYWHERE-i KNOW that i am. "lets get started" OK-lets get DONE. "I need suction on this tooth" OK-you need a dry surface."More suction" arizona located in the southwest-not located in my mouth."More suction"you've not only got rid of the moisture in my mouth but the facets are dripping sand...hopefully i can get a drink soon. "We're almost done-just let me polish the tooth"OK-i so need to wet the ol' whistle so hurry up, doc. you know-i have a pretty bad gag reflex-i bet its worse when i have cotton mouth-(ack,ack-GET OUTTA MY MOUTH-no vesuvius today, but it was close. I get into my truck and desperately try to get a drink-nope, DENIED. my lips and tongue are so numb that the water just drips out of my mouth-oh wait. Ding Ding. i only had work on the right side. the left should be normal!! so much for that brillant idea. how long do i have to wait? well, lets go shopping and then go eat-the numbness will be gone by then. "can we eat now or do we need to wait?"asks my oh so wonderful hubby. well-i'm starving so who cares how my lips are-PIZZA my favorite. i'll order an extra cheese and mushroom. life is great-pizza,DRINK. (many heartfelt thanks to the inventor of the straw) i still am a little numb so ill tilt my head so that each bite of pizza falls to the left side-wait my oh so precious mushroom is falling off the pizza-quick quick use your mouth to grab it. yeah one side of my mouth is not closing all the way-oh darn. i just dropped my mushroom.

Cyber Farmer

well, i've been playin' farmville on facebook for almost 3 months now. Here are some of my thoughts-

THAT BULL IN THE GREEN DAIRY-(I SAY QUITE MOOING AND GET TO BUSINESS). I WANT A GREEN BABY MOO. MY BROWN COWS HAVE GIVEN BROWN BABY MOOS, MY PINK COWS GAVE ME A PINK BABY MOO, AND MY NORMAL COWS HAVE GIVEN ME A BABY MOO-WHERE IS THE GREEN?? MAYBE I NEED TO SWITCH AROUND ALL 12 BULLS UNTIL I FIND ONE THAT CAN GIVE THE DESIRED RESULTS.

ARE MY CHICKENS READY? I KNOW THEY ARE ONLY READY ONCE A DAY-BUT 2 TIMES IN 1 DAY COULD HAPPEN! ENOUGH WITH THE WAITING I'LL CHECK THE PIGS, RABBITS, PENGUINS, HORSES, TURKEYS, SHEEP, AND CATS. WAIT I NEED TO CHECK THE TREES. BACK TO THE CHICKENS-(I HATE WAITING)

WHAT?!? THE CROPS ARE READY-I'LL START HARVESTING THEM-NOW I CAN PLOW THE PLOTS-NOW WHAT TO PLANT?? SHOULD I PLANT A CROPP THATS READY TOMORROW OR IN 4 DAYS? I KNOW A VARIETY!!

WHAT ARE MY FRIENDS DOIN? WELL, I GOTTA LEND THEM A HAND. (I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY HUSBAND AND MY MOM FOR HELPING RELIEVE MY FARMVILLE OBSESSION BY LETTING ME TEND THEIR FARMS DURING THEIR WORK DAY.) LET ME CHECK MY FARM AGAIN FOR ANYTHING I MIGHT'VE MISSED IN THE LAST 5 MINS.

I START THIS OVER EACH DAY AND AM CONSTANTLY CHECKING VARIOUS FARMS. MY HUSBAND SAYS I'VE BECOME OBSESSED AND AM STARTING TO NEGLECT OTHER TASKS, BUT I'M NOT READY TO ADMIT THAT HE IS PROBABLY RIGHT. I HAVE A LIBRARY BOOK DUE THURSDAY SO I GUESS I SHOULD START-BUT WHAT IF I MISS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT ON MY FARM?? I DEFINITELY NEED TO LEAVE MY FARM FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT I START HAVING WITHDRAWLS AFTER 1 HOUR. AND I DON'T CARE IF WORK NEEDS DONE BECAUSE MY CROPS ARE READY. WHAT ELSE IS ON THE TO DO LIST?? CHECK THE FARM-

The kidney and the stone.........

It all began wed. morning. I was going to have a great day!! Well, the neighbor's annoying dog won't quit barking, so I guess the day will start earlier than planned. After my shower my tummy is hurting a little bit-no prob. i'll massage it. That kinda hurts a little, but the pain will probably realx if i keep going...WHATTHE. Did i rupture a bowel?(my family thinks i need a colonoscopy,but its too late now) i slowlt make my way to the couch and then proceed to think that the pain will go away shortly. No such luck. i have spent oodles of time racking my brain on how i might get this incredible pain to stop. its so bad i stay on the couch laying on my back. i finally call my husband and when he gets home we decide on how to proceed...Call the paramedics-I THINK NOT. give me a ride to the ER-I'M NOT SITTIN UP!! This is not the day David will conquer Goalith. ok, call the paramedics because this pain is ridonkulus. i'm in the ER now so everything should get better....NOT! isn't morphine supposed to be a pain killer. you knoe kill the pain? get chad here!!!!!!!!!!! i need lightness and humor. my brother gets to the hospital after work and even with imense pain, his jokes are a welcome distaction. the nurse hands me 2 not 1 but 2 cups of orange syrup. DRINK both you have 1 hour. Are you smoking? i don't think i'll get 1 down let alone 2. x-rays are x-rays. the only problem there is even laying in my bed, i still felt like i was going to fall. i was totally prepared to fall off the bed!! It might hurt, but i'm already hurting-so its all good. i'm back to my curtain now and trying to tackle my hi-c fruit punch with way too much syrup and not enough water. Pretty proud-i drank 1/4 of the first cup full. YES!! doin good. then the nurse proceeds to tell me that i have 20 min to finish the remaining 7/4 or i will be the lucky winner of a nose tube. GIVE ME THE DRINK. i never knew that could have so much impact on me. i was able to drink both cups and so i was ready for a CT scan. i get to the machine and find out that i am getting injected with iodine. You will tingle all over and feel like you are having bladder issues the nurse says calmly. Shouldn't we calm the patient?? i am finally wheeled back to my husband and brother. Remove mouth and insert firehose--use your imagination for this part. more morphine-it didn't even work the first time. i now think the pain is getting worse. will it ever quit?!? enter doc- you have a kidney stone!!
i'm too young for this-according to my brother i'm officially old. i ride home with chad because his jeep is NOT Goalith.

FYI- the pain is equivalent to labor pains. Hence a new found respect for my mother!!
