A Wonderful Time To Be Alive!


We live in the most wonderful time ever in the creation of the Universe. Why, you ask?! Just take a look at this picture- not only is Madalyn on the Earth, but Froot Loops now have FIBER!!! Yes! What a beautiful combination; the yummy, delicious sugarness of Froot Loops combined with the wholesome, digestive friendliness of fiber. Oh, man, God Bless America!
More reasons to rejoice in this time of creation? The Giants blanked the Dodgers 9-0.
We have had some beautiful weather the last couple days. This after a couple snow storms earlier in the week. It is so nice to be able to run outside and not be freezing. I love seeing the trees budding and popcorn on the trees (though I'm not sure if they are apricot trees). I mowed the lawn last week. Why do my cats poop out in the middle of the backyard grass? Stupid cats. Sitting outside during lunch and actually getting some real sunshine on my face. My legs are whiter than the snow on Timp, though. Don't see that changing too soon.
So my brother is stuck over in Heidelberg, Germany due to the erupting volcano. He is tiring of the German food. C'mon, schnitzel and bratwurst with potatoes!? German Chocolate Cake (how do the German's get the coconut for the frosting?)If only HE had the Fiber enriched Froot Loops he would be fine!

April Struggles


You know, April may be the toughest month of the year for me and here's why:
Growing up in Northern California, by the time April comes around we have already been hanging out at the beach, playing baseball and enjoying the green grass & flowers (well, Lance and I would go surfing year round, but still...). Here in Utah, April still means snow, cold, an occasional teasingly nice days. You just know that the real nice weather is still a ways away. And what usually happens is that one day you wake up and it's 95 degrees!
Take the storm last night, geeze, it was like a blizzard! Howling winds and blowing snow. Blimey! I could go for a nice 80 degree sunny day. I would even be happy to mow the lawn.
But, the redeeming beauty of April is baseball season has begun and the Giants are 2-0! Holy Dooley! I am so happy because it seems that basketball season never ends.
Still loving my job.
Anyone for a Tiger's Blood Snowcone?
