So maybe I'm really running out of steam with this whole blog thing, you know? I suppose it is all about ebb and flow. But it is also about developing habits and talents. So I persist. I made a commitment to myself, and I'm going to follow through with it. Besides that, I'm well over half way there. Getting close to two-thirds of the way to the year mark. So the show must go on and all of that nonsense.
And it is Friday...but here are my five random things:
1. Um, today my blow dryer blew up and sparks flew. There was even a little fire. All I can say is this. Thank HEAVENS my hair did not catch on fire. My hair has caught on fire before. It is a long story. The short version? Whilst making a poster in the 10th grade for a project concerning Fahrenheit 451, I was burning the edges. It was a whole phoenix rising from the ashes theme, and I was quite clever and my teacher adored it. That's because I'm pretty smart like that. So in the midst of said burning of said edges, my hair fell from behind my shoulder and landed in the flames of the lighter. Yep, it was on fire. I freaked! I was screaming and clapping my hands over top of the fire...in MY HAIR!!! And then it was out two seconds later. But let me tell you, fire next to your face is scary. And, AND it does not smell good nor does it make for an attractive style to have singed hair. Just saying. So I'm really glad when my blow dryer was on fire that my hair didn't get to close to the flames. I like my hair the way it is, thankyouverymuch.
2. BYU won the game, y'all!!! Oh it was a good one, too. I love a close match up. It doesn't make up for losing to Utah. Nothing can make up for that. However, I will take a win. And BYU's offense needs to pull it together. The end.
3. I found a new fave from Sephora...i.e., a big girl's candy store. I seriously love that place. I love wandering around and looking at the products and all the sparkly, shiny things. It's so pretty! And have you tried Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion? It will cement your eyeshadow and liner to your lid. No lie. The stuff works. It even works under your eye. So I can line the lower lid without worry that the crooks and crannies (i.e. "wrinkles" but whatever) will be filled in with black. Love it!
4. I've been preparing a lesson for Relief Society today. It's all about the scripture study. So I thought I would share my own testimony of scripture study. It really has saved me more than once. I can think of lots of times when I have just opened up the scriptures and there was the answer. But this past week, it has happened a lot. I especially feel grateful for the Old Testament lately. I've learned from Job, Rachel, Leah, Rebekah, Ruth, Joseph, Moses, Hannah, Sarah and Esther. I've learned about patience with God's timing, trusting in God when it all seems to be falling apart, doing what is right in the face of temptation, personal revelation, service, sacrifice, obedience and most of all, listening when the Lord speaks. I'm truly grateful for the scriptures.
5. I want some In and Out Burger. Do you ever get things like this stuck fast in your mind? I mean food wise, that is. I do. I start thinking about something yummy and delish and I want it. I can't stop thinking about it. So the other night I drove by In and Out and said to myself that no, I really did not need that yummy goodness. And then my nephew, Ty, had to go and treat himself to it last night. And this morning I saw the evidence...an In and Out cup on the counter. So that didn't help shake the craving. And now I must have it. Maybe tomorrow...mmmmmm. Hamburgers and fries and shakes.
