So Glad It's Friday

Harriet-the-dog LOVES ducks.
Like L-O-V-E-S them. I'm pretty sure she dreamt about them all night last night. Ha!



I have not been this excited for a weekend in a long time. It has felt like the busiest week ever.

Thank goodness for weekends.

Here's hoping we all have a wonderfully calm and relaxing weekend!

PS: For those of you who've asked for my input on the newest season of Survivor (which started last Wed.) ... I have to be honest: I'm not watching this season. 

I am definitely a Survivor die-hard fan, but the last time I played was SO emotional, draining, and downright painful, I'm not really ready to re-live that experience anytime soon (in HD, no less). (Plus, they are in the same location we were in ... so it's like flashback-central for me.)

That being said, I am friends with Tyson--who's playing with his loved one Rachel--this season (S27 is called Blood vs. Water), and I absolutely love Tyson and Rachel!

--We are all 3 from Utah (and the Utah Survivors are a tight bunch). 

--This Tyson's 3rd time playing the game. 

--He's a great human being. 

--He's an athlete. 

--He's a return missionary in our church (went to the Philippines), 

--Rachel is kind, charming, and beautiful--and they are a riot together.

--And, they both don't take themselves too seriously (Which is SO different than me ... I love it.).
 
Anyhow, my point! 

I'm rooting for Team Rachel and Tyson.

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 ...
