Play Dough Representation of My Life

My new calling is home-study seminary teacher. I have 2 students, and last Wednesday was our first day (although only one girl showed up). As a getting to know you activity we each built something out of play dough that tells something about you.

The only thing I could come up with was a play dough sculpture of a bed with me sleeping on it.

Then I explained to the girl in the class that I really like sleeping, so I was glad that I was called to be home-study seminary teacher because then we don't have to get up early every morning.

At the same time I was explaining this to the girl, I was thinking about how this little sculpture might amuse my friends from the old 177th Ward...although you all rarely saw me sleeping in my actual bed. More like the car, the couch, the floor, the sidewalk....

I hope you are amused.

the end of Bourne...the beginning of fall

This summer since I never found a job (although I started working as a tutor at Sylvan Learning Center last month), I wasn't in school, and my husband spent all his time (literally like 12+ hours a day) studying for the bar exam, I had A LOT of time to spend doing whatever I wanted! And since my budget was zero as we were livin on love at first, and we don't have a tv (we decided not to have one because we didn't want our studio apartment to look like a hotel room), I read the books that Ronnie added to our library, or I checked out books from the public library. I probably went to the public library daily, if not just to get out of the house and allow myself the ability to say that I actually did something by the end of the day...besides get the mail.

Thus, I read about 20 books and several Ensigns during the summer...which officially ended today. Happy Fall by the way, and Happy My Favorite Season, and Happy I'm So Excited That I'm Back In The Midwest Where The Autumn Colors Are SOOOOO Beautiful.

I digress. The point of the post is that today I finished the last installment of the Jason Bourne trilogy. The first one was pretty good. I liked the second one better. By the third one, I was just ready for the stinkin book to be FINISHED. The books were just too long!

My conclusion: The books were ok, but even though the story is changed I recommend just watching the movies. They are shorter and Matt Damon has some awesome moves.
