Tunnel Vision

There is a high probability, that just maybe, perhaps, perchance, is is conceivable, that I might have finished my research for my master's project. Let the writing cramps begin...

Random learnings

Did you know that, in Arabic, Amirrah means princess? Neither did we. Did you know that Mirrah Belle, in French, means wonderful? Neither did we.

Retreat

Reinforcements have left the state, and much like a soon-to-be-democratic-presidential-withdraw-from-Iraq-fallout, the home has already entered into a police state of gorilla warfare. The gorilla would be #2, the warfare would include #1's books and dolls, and all remaining forces are busy with the #3 front. Ahh, it's good to be at work... Maybe I'll have to stay a couple hours extra today... :)

Reinforcements

Nannie arrived to take the night shifts for a week with # 3 and the day shifts with #1 & 2 so David can get caught up on his schooling and work, and Melissa and get caught up on sleep. Yip-zzz

Labor Day

#3 should be getting blessed around Labor Day. We understand this could be a strain on some to make it, so we do not expect people to go out of their way to make trips for this. We still know we are cared for and do not need visits to prove it. :) Of course, those who would like to attend are welcome to do so.

Harry Potter - No Spoilers

Just finished the last Harry Potter book. It was my least favorite of the series. 600 pages of build-up and then it finished super quick. It seemed like all the character development and personality just faded away to finish the story. Bummer.

Job Perks

It's always an adventure to get back to work and be informed via that you have a meeting with a member of the 5th Quorum of the Seventy. Good thing I didn't take the day off. Three hours with an Area Seventy (no, they are no longer called area authroity seventies) can make coming back to work a happy experience.
