Man, it's been too long. Bloggers: I have missed you! There is something wrong when I am thinking, "What can I cut out of my life so I can blog more? Oh. I already did. It's the cleaning of the house and the washing of the dishes." Oh well, right? Only today it all caught up with me. I HAD to clean and mop and sweep and all the things I detest most. Fortunately, my husband helped me and it made it go a lot faster, but I am thinking of hiring a maid and a nanny so I have more time to blog... 
So, my Brinley can be a pretty shy girl on first impression. Even with family she sees constantly, she will hold back at times. Well, knowing this (and being the kind mother that I am) I am forcing her to be in a Primary talent show tomorrow with two of her friends. I can't help it. They are performing this dance number and frankly it is the cutest thing ever (in my humble opinion--ok I know every Mom says that). Anywho, Kasey whipped up the cutest dresses for the girls to wear, and let me tell you: Kasey is a sewing machine--literally. She is wicked talented. I'll post a picture asap of her fabulous handiwork. The three girls are dancing to this song with their tap shoes and shakin' their hips and it's just great. I'll hopefully post a video tomorrow, if I can figure out how that works.
Anywho, the rest of my day has been filled with cleaning, swimming, dance practice, cleaning, shopping, cleaning, and dinner. Good times! I'm exhausted, but it was a fun day over all--minus the cleaning. Honestly, though, you would think we lived in a dump (it was shameful) by the way I've kept up lately, so I guess at some point I had to give in and take care of business.
My last thought for the day is: I am so grateful for people who answer the phone. I had to call a couple of people today and I really needed them to answer their phones, and guess what? They did. Well, hello, of course they did. Normal people do. I, on the other hand, am not normal. I admit that the phone is my greatest (let's get real here: one of the many) vice. I am terrible with it. Maybe I had a traumatic experience at some point in my life and I just don't remember it...I don't know. But answering the phone is something I'm terrible about. I try to be good and answer (and sometimes I am), but never consistently and I am SO annoying that way. Anyway, I am very grateful for those of you who DO answer your phone when I call, and I'm trying to repent of my ways.

I hope you don't mind that I read your blog. I just moved and none of my friends blog really. Since it has been summer we have been busy and haven't met too many new people.(only been to my new ward like three times) Since you live in Austin and I just moved from Dallas(they are completely far away but) it kinda reminds me of home. Plus I know your space will be mostly G-rated. It is really cool how you and your friends all keep in touch through the blogs. Good Idea.
I'm always glad to make new blogging friends!! I love it and will try to keep mine as G-rated as possible (man, I hope it's never not!) Where did you move to? Moving can be rough!
We are in Boise, ID. It is a big change, luckily I have lived in Utah before (and my husband is from there) so the shock has been minimal. I know things will pick up for us as soon as get involved in stuff and get callings. Can't wait!
I can't wait to see Brinley's video! That is so much fun. I love all of the Texas wildflowers. You were a busy girl yesterday! I cleaned Friday, but everything is a huge mess again. I haven't been answering the phone much either. It's either a salesman or somebody that I need to think up an excuse why I can't do something. I'm terrible!
Kristi is such a good example to us all, she is definitely G rated. Glad you cleaned the house. I hit rock bottom last weekend, so I know what you mean. I realized my priorities were WAY out of whack.
I love hearing that someone else hates the phone. I really really do. Making phone calls is my worst and my second worst is answering the phone. Not sure what it is with me but I"m BAD that way.
i like the telephone to be one sided. i want to be able to reach you whenever i want to, but i get irritated when my phone rings when i don't wnat it to. i'm a total screener. if i don't recognize the number, i don't answer. unless, i'm expecting a call.
I'm a screener too. Is that bad?? haha It's hard fitting everything into the day. Blogging can't always come first...bummers.
i'm a total screener. hate answering the phone. for real.
