Happy Leap Day!





I might be mistaken, but isn't Leap Day a kind of "opposite day"?


I mean, after all, it's not every day an Irish lass can ask a Irish lad to marry her.


Wait! It's 2012!


And in most countries, she sure as heck can. (Woo hoo!)


So, if Leap Day isn't an opposite day, then how am I supposed to celebrate this once-in-a-four-year day?


With Hamburger Pizza, of course.


Huh?


I know, it makes no sense.


But our favorite pizza place (Papa Murphy's in Riverton, Utah) is making Hamburger Pizzas today--and only today--in honor of Leap Day. 


I guess it's in keeping with the opposite day theme:


"Do the opposite of typical pizza toppings ... dress the pizza like a hamburger."


Works for me.


Happy Leap Day!

PS: A few more thoughts:
Baby ME. Circa 1970.


1. Survivor.
Tonight! Can't wait. We'll talk more manana.


2. Wrinkles.
Yes, blowing up my upside down photo accentuates the wrinkles around my eyes. I'm good with that. 28 days on a tropical island will do that to a girl. (Plus, I wasn't always this "old." I had some really good wrinkle-free years, too! See above.)


3. Thank You.
Thank you for the prayers for my two friends fighting tough battles. It meant a lot to read your words of encouragement. I'm passing them along this morning.


4. Hamburger Pizza.
If you live in Utah and decide to go to Papa Murphy's in Riverton, tell Deanne hi. We've been getting our pizzas there for 5 years--and she's like family. Love. Her.

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
