I'm scared of heights, so this would definitely be me on a roller coaster, if I hadn't blacked out already, that is.

I thought I would post these pictures of this "environmental" art, which is pretty funny and strangely cute.

I got my application for graduation in August signed and turned in today. My chair said he thinks my thesis defense in June is entirely doable. Wahoo. And very scary. My committee is scary.

I turned in a pretty good rewrite of a chapter yesterday. And there was much rejoicing.

I got a calling as activities co-chair yesterday. I think condolences are in order and that we should all appreciate the irony that the person who got the "most disgusting food" award now has to cook food for the entire ward at least once a month. To start off the calling right, the first major activity that I am in charge of, the ward campout, is the same days as my brother's wedding and dinner, etc. when my family is in from out of town. I feel bad about that.

I thought I would post a few cute pictures from the time spent with my great niece. She really likes to make faces.





And the birth of another great niece-Katelyn at 6lbs 6 oz.



It is a little blurry-I know.

I am going to try and post a video and we'll see if it works. Here she is making a slam dunk. I had a really cute one of her walking on a little path through the yard that she makes at least fifty times a day, but I accidentally erased it.



I am excited for the season finale of Bones tonight and am, again, ashamed to admit it. As several people well know, I think a thesis does strange things to your brain.

Wow, almost a week since I last posted.
I am currently watching my great niece while my niece is in the hospital having her second child by c-section. She is a very cute two year old and I will have to post some cute pictures as I get them this weekend. It is kind-of funny that she is having her baby on mother's day, but it was the only time that worked out for her doctor. May is a busy month for babies I guess.

Hum, an update.
I turned in some of my thesis and got some feedback. I try to keep on truckin despite lack of hope.
Last week I watched season four of Bones online and I am more than thoroughly ashamed.
I sang in church choir yesterday and that was fun. Although, despite the fact that I have been learning to sing the alto part for many years now, I am much worse than at other times. Yesterday was one of those.
I wrote in my family newsletter that we do once a month to update everyone. It was a very short paragraph, like it has been for the last six months.
It's been so long since I did online conference calls that I forgot about the one this morning. Agony. That looks good for the boss. Oh well.
I'm actually doing alright despite all of this. Could be better. Could be a lot worse.
