Just Your Typical Week ...

Survivor Caramoan FvF, (c) CBS 2012 (and TrueDorkTimes.com).
(Psst: Yes, looks like I'm wearing a dress again.)


 In case you're new to my blog and are wondering how life changes once you go on Survivor/TV, well let me tell you ...

If I win the million this time, some things are going to change around here! Pronto!

But in the meantime, things aren't changing too much.

See ...



I still spend most of my time being "just mom."

(PS: LuLu still thinks she's old enough for a phone--
and we still think she's too young for one.
So, she routinely takes photos of herself
USING MY PHONE to show me her frustration.)



I still drive carpool.

Although we do have STRAIGHTER teeth post-Survivor--
Jay got his braces off yesterday!


I'm still teaching at BYU.

Two classes this semester--with two great groups of students. (And I don't think any of them have seen Survivor before.)


I still run my own errands.

And take photos when I see other people living "normal" life, too.
You can't see too well here, but yesterday the Winder Dairy "man" drove away from the gas station WITH the PUMP still attached to his truck (along with 6 feet of hose).
Lucky for him, I caught a photo as he pulled over.
(I find that since Survivor I like to capture other people's high and low moments for posterity.)

And I still do my own cooking.

No Rachel Ray or Sweet Genius preparing our food.

Here's my first German Pancake, PS.
(They are WAY fun to make. I had no idea.)

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 ...
