September Challenge Day #13--What are 5 things you have (or almost have) perfected? What are 5 things you are far from perfect in?

Things I have perfected (or almost):
  1. Drinking Dr. Pepper - I have it down perfectly - I rarely miss a day!
  2. Googling - I can pretty much google the answer to any question.  I feel so wise!  Before google I probably didn't know anything!
  3. Multi-tasking - I can't seem to do any one thing at a time.  Have you see this?     It describes me perfectly!  All. The. Time.
  4. I don't bake many things, but I do bake pretty good brownies!
  5. Going to school - Since going to school has been my life for the last 5 years, I believe that I have pretty much perfected it!  

Things I am far from getting perfect:
  1. My eyelashes - I swear that I must be all thumbs when it comes to doing my eyelashes!  One would think that after a lifetime of putting on mascara I could do it without getting it into my eyes, or smearing it on my skin, or just plan making a mess.  However, almost every day it is another day in messiness!  So, I decided I would try switching to the press-on false lashes, however I can't seem to put them on at all!  It is just a big mess!
  2. Keeping my house clean - When the homemaking gifts were being handed out, I think I must have been in the bathroom because I totally missed that gift!
  3. Running - once upon a time I thought that I could make myself into a runner.  I was close to successful  at one point, but then I started school and lost it all!
  4. Achieving fame and fortune - Actually, I don't want the fame part, but it sure would be nice if I had the fortune!
  5. Home decor - My sisters are masters at decor, they inherited all the creative genes in the family.  One day, perhaps when I grow up, I will learn how to match colors and arrange things so that they look fabulous.  OR maybe I should just have my sisters come and decorate for me!
  6. Bonus:  Beat-boxing - I actually went on YouTube and tried to learn how, but I have resigned myself that this is one talent that I will NEVER have!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
