saturday
welllllllll — tonight is date night for us!! we’re going to the dollar theater (is there any other date? i don’t think so) — to see King Kong. i’m pretty excited, although i hear it’s 3 hours long. whew. that is a LONG TIME for me to sit in one of those theater chairs. movies today need an intermission like they used to have (ok, i realize this was before i was born, but it did exist). i need to get up and stretch my legs, have a potty break – you get the idea.
the weather here is super nice; sunny, breezy and 68 degrees. whew. it doesn’t get any better than that. yesterday, same. tomorrow — same. exciting.

so the other night, when i wrote that i was still up at 3 am? ha. i laugh at 3 am. i ended up not getting to sleep till sometime after 5 am. whew. that’ll throw off your schedule!! so then monday i slept till 12:30, ate and took some meds, and slept again till 4. interesting. i’m getting back on track, tho. only three days of rain this week (tues, wed., and thurs.) so i’m looking at that as being a good thing; a blessing in disguise. 3 is less than half!
i just finished watching Memoirs of a Geisha; it was beautifully done. i had already heard that visually, it was stunning. and it was. it followed the book very well, i thought. of course lots was left out, but in the interest of making a book a film….and it was not things i missed. did that even make sense? huh. anyways, last night spencer and i watched chicken little; it surpassed my expectations (which were low) and made me laugh several times. i bet kids would like it a lot. and as a (semi) grown-up, looking back on childhood, i could empathize with the poor little chicken. hahaha.

why can’t i sleep?
wish i knew. i’ve been having trouble sleeping lately; my head hurts, so it’s hard to sleep (makes sense, right?) anyways, this is the end-all, be-all of can’t sleep nights. usually it just takes me an hour or so to fall asleep, and then i wake up every 2 or 3 hours. not great, but liveable, especially because it’s not like i have to go to school or work in the morning. however, just not being able to sleep? lame.
i will tell you a story or three about emily in the kitchen.
#1 – the angel food cake: i promise, i followed ALL the directions on the box. i still don’t know what went wrong. what i DO know is that it overflowed while cooking. this means that dinner (aka disaster #2) just helped to burn on the remains of the angel food cake. b/c was i feeling up to scrubbing the oven? um, no.
#2 – dinner saturday night was pizza; we made it freezer cooking, and it should have taken 15 minutes to cook. HA~! hahahaha. no. it took about an hour. this was (of course) at a time when my husband was needing to leave. we made it in the nick of time, him shoveling pizza in at the last possible minute.
which brings us to kitchen disaster #3 (please remember, this is only from the past weekend)
#3 – tonight, while making pad thai (don’t get too excited, it was a boxed mix) i had done everything right. i was pretty impressed with myself. the last thing to do was put the sauce in. soooo clever me, i use a knife to open the plastic pouch, cutting my index finger at the same time. can you say OUCH? it was unpleasant. i had spencer come in and finish dinner while i applied pressure and put a band-aid on it. (don’t you like how ‘applied pressure’ makes it seem like a legitimate wound? yeah, it’s not) — it felt a lot worse than it was.
in any case…….when does it get better? whew. this cooking stuff. not only hard work, but dangerous too. 
the weekend
not a lot to blog about; have been feeling pretty bad most of this weekend. a quick rundown — on thursday night we went to a dinner given to honor the EE students who just finished their senior projects (spencer) — it was really nice, and the entertainment was wacky, but hilarious. words cannot even begin to describe, so i won’t try.
then friday night we went to spencer’s mission reunion — he served a mission for the LDS church (as do most young men aged 19-21) . we got together with some of the others he served with, as well as their spouses, and in some cases, children. it was fun, everyone was very nice, and he got to catch up with some old friends.
whew. this weekend was the LDS church’s general conference. my sister put it well when she said – general (as in all 12 million of us) conference (we watch and listen to our leaders giving instruction). there are several sessions, and i heard some really fabulous talks. i won’t go into it anymore but to say that i was grateful to have listened, and that i learned a lot.
spencer and i went to temple square tonight, to get him away from his schoolwork (which is intense as of late) — he took some amazing photos, i’ll let you know when they’re up on his site. that’s it for now – told you there wasn’t much to say!!
