I am a MASTER of the English language... what are you??

I was looking at a site that has patterns for making things like baby shopping cart covers and sleep sacks and I found a link to a grammar quiz. Apparently the maker of the site I was on is a GRAMMAR GOD, I am merely a MASTER of the English language. Try is yourself here. Be sure to let me know how your grammar rates!

School's out for summer

School is out... and nothing has changed for me. All of my teacher friends had to go to work today to clean their classrooms, input grades, and check out. I cleaned the house and played with the baby. Last year my mom came to school to help me get ready for the summer and then we went baby shopping. Now Kaylin is taking a nap in the crib we picked out that day. Things sure have changed. We have quite a few neighborhood kids running around now that they're out of school. I wonder if they can see through my living room window from their backyard fort? If so, they're going to see a lot more than they bargained for because that's where I feed the baby! Hopefully I don't get an upset mom at my door yelling at me for exposing my chest to 10 year old boys. But hey, it's my house, they don't need to look :-).

Harry Potter

I have succumbed to the pressure and am now more than half-way through book number 2. I checked out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (book 1) from the library on Friday, finished it on Monday, and checked out Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (book 2) on Monday. I had been anti-Harry Potter for YEARS. I didn't want to read the books. I didn't want to watch the movies. And now, here I am, waiting for a dvd to be returned to the library so I can watch the video and hoping that volume three will be available as soon as I finish number two. I find myself wanting to make references to Quidditch and other non-Muggle things, but Eric would think I'm crazy so I just keep quiet. So I guess I'm behind the times, but I'm trying to catch up. I'll be waiting with the rest of them for book 7. You can thank my sister for this :-).

I need a good book

I've decided that I should read a book. I probably haven't read a book "for fun" since last summer. I'm looking for recommendations. Has anyone read anything great lately??

So you think you can dance... or do you just like to?

My favorite tv show is on for its third season. I absolutely LOVE "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox. It is the BEST. I do have a question for some of the people who tryout. Do you really think you can dance?? There is a difference between LIKING to dance and actually being ABLE to dance. The show is not called "So You Like to Dance". I like to dance. I used to dance quite a bit. That pretty much ended once I got married. But I am not going to go tryout for the show because I know that I am not a very good dancer. Those people would tear me apart. Plus, I have no real training except for beginning ballroom at BYU and high school dance team. But I'm sure there are people with my same training (if you can even call it that) trying out for the show. And the sad part is, they think they're good. Oh well, tryouts are over now and we can get on to the real competition. I am pumped because last year's winner Benji's little sister is on the show this season. I loved Benji and I'm sure I will love Lacey too. I guess it helps that they're Mormon. Plus they are FABULOUS dancers and very entertaining.

Well, the baby is crying. I guess my 20 minute break is over.

I'm back!

I'm back and no one even knew I was gone. I signed up on blogger nearly a year ago (see first post). Now you can comment on people's blogs with a google account, but that wasn't true last year. I decided that I enjoy reading other people's blogs so much that I might as well start using mine. I don't know if anyone will read it, but oh well. It will give me another "I don't want to clean the house" or "scrapbooking takes more energy than I have right now" activity. My goal is to have a blog *nearly* as cool as Jen's. She is so good at putting up pictures and links and she has so many interesting and fun things to say. I know that I won't ever be as well written and humorous as Jen, but I was math major after all, and Jen was at one point an English major for those of you who might not have kept up with her major switching game. So in true Jen fashion, for my first post this year I will make a bulleted list!

Things I like to do while the baby is sleeping:

• SLEEP (if it's between midnight and 7 am, I can't nap)
• SHOWER (my new favorite time of the day)
• eat breakfast
• read everyone's blogs

Isn't she an angel??
