Well, I have a cracked rib. John gave me a big hug and, "pop" - just like that. It is healing... s l o w l y. 12 days and counting...And now, I have a cough. Bronchitis? Possibly. Pneumonia? I doubt it. But, it's back to the doctor today to get it checked out. Better safe than sorry and all that.Just in case you were wondering where I am. Cause sitting at the computer and typing... it hurts.

Well, I really wanted a contact form for this blog because I am one of those people who does not use an email program (i.e., Outlook) - I read my email online so I hate when people have those little mailto:blahblah@blahblah.com links. Really. On the other hand, I love contact forms. So sweet and easy. Anyhow, I posted on my work blog how I set my contact form up. Very cool. And easy.

Some of you have asked my method of coupon-ing. So, I am writing up this post. Here is what I do. There are many methods so find what works for you!I make my shopping list for the week on the day after the ad comes out (unless I can get the list the day or two before - for me that's on Wednesday). I have been coupon-ing long enough now that I rarely purchase anything that is not on a super deal

I have one son. He has made choices in his life that have taken him away from the gospel and the LDS Church. There are times when this has been extremely difficult for me. As his mother, I want him to be happy and I know that true happiness comes through living the commandments.One Sabbath morning, I was sitting behind a young family with four small children...

So, here's the thing. I HATE being sick. I am NOT a good patient and I tend to get grouchy and antsy and all of those things. I don't know why. I am typically a pretty upbeat person. I HATE being stuck in bed.But, here I am in bed. I am determined to keep a positive outlook. I am drinking my Airborne (which doesn't seem to be helping me anymore, although it has done wonders for me throughout the

So, I should be working on Primary leadership training for this Thursday... that, and I need to get the podcast to Stephen and I need to record another podcast and I really should clean something and I have two blogs that NEED updated in a bad way...But, first I wanted to drop in and say that I made it to the water aerobics class today. I love, love, love water aerobics. No music today - just a

So, I've been back at the gym for two days now. Here are some thoughts...Skinny women who work out impress me. If I was a skinny woman I would not work out. Probably.Watching a decorating show while working out keeps me working out longer. I planned on 45 minutes on the treadmill and went almost 55 due to the show I was watching. Spinning has nothing to do with this. Okay... now to be

Well, as usual, time is flying by. Here is a picture of my edging project mentioned in my previous post (and also a picture of my Mom - who did the quilting for this wall hanging). I don't know if I got a picture of the pillow. I hope I did - but who knows? Both projects were made for my great Uncle John and Aunt Eleanor for their 50th wedding anniversary.We made a quick dash to Arizona

So, I was in my water aerobics class and we were "soaking to the oldies" and... I was thinking... When I get old (and contrary to my children's belief I am NOT old yet - I'm not even 40 and in my family that isn't even middle aged...) and I am still in water aerobics and we're working out to the oldies... Will it be 80s music?I've been thinking about age a lot lately.I have been working on

I grew up in a home where we learned that "the only people who are bored are boring people." I have raised my children with that philosophy.HOWEVER, I think it is important to remember each day that QUIET does not mean BORING. My life has been so busy that I long for those quiet moments. Knitting. Reading. Playing the piano. I make time for prayers and scriptures and most days that has had

Benji said about this picture "what kinda karate kid meets tom cruise meets geek?" He's a great guy and I had the opportunity to visit with him for my podcast. If you all are interested in hearing a little more about the spiritual side of Benji - have a listen!I don't know about you, but my family followed the show start to finish and loved it all. We especially love Benji with his charm and

You know... I started this blog a year ago so I would have a place to talk about the time that is my life. Now that life is so very busy and not always fun I find that I rarely drop in and talk about my life. Go figure.I have been having computer issues and so it has made it more difficult - but not impossible. So, I'm going to make an effort as I feel that this is a therapy I currently

Please email me (whit.k.larson AT gmail DOT com) with your address and I'll send you a goody. I HATED knitting the bobbles, so I crocheted them instead. Same basic look - much easier. It will fit better when his head is slightly bigger. :O) More winners to come! Weird
