Thoughts From a Frazzled Mind

So Many Words We decided to count all of the words that Little Miss knows now that she is 18 months old.  Can you believe it - she knows almost 150 words!  Some of her favorites are blanket, car seat, pillow, you're welcome (she learned that and Haka from the movie Moana), phone, piggies, vacuum, and chapstick.  Of course her favorite word is Kalel, which she yells all of the time when he isn't here. Lunch with Ellen Kay and Tammy Tammy and I met Ellen Kay for lunch at Old Grist Mill.  I haven't seen Ellen Kay for several years, but she just moved back from Texas so we decided that we needed to catch up.  It was such a fun lunch! We ended up staying for several hours.  We talked about everything from memories of high school to current joys and worries of our lives.  I can't wait until we can get together again!

Wicked Wicked, what more can I say.  One of the very best productions I have ever seen.  This was my third time seeing it, and I was not disappointed.  The incredible talent of the performers never ceases to amaze me.  I could listen to them sing all day long!  Tammy and I went down together and met up with Cyn, her sister April, and mother, Shearer at Cheesecake Factory for a great brunch.  Fun, fun, fun day!

We decided that we would take ourselves out for dinner.  Since it was win...

The beginning of May also marked the beginning of a new semester.  I am teaching a new class this semester called "Capstone".  It is the last class that the students will have before graduation and it includes a 90 hour practicum that the students have to do.  I'm excited to teach this class, but there are no firm guidelines so I don't know exactly what I am doing.  I have been working with Carrie at the Murray campus who has taught this class a couple of times, thank goodness she is willing to share her ideas!. Friday May 4 I worked very late trying to get ready for school Monday.  When I finally got home Kim decided to take me out to dinner - Hooray - Date Night! We decided to try dinner at the Brigham House, a new restaurant in town. As we were entering we ran into Coach Robinette and his wife Chris.  He cautioned Kim not to order the Brigham House Burger because it was huge.  I believe it then became a challenge for Kim!  As we entered we...
