I really should be doing a million other things right now like a) wash dinner dishes, b) clip my nails, c) prepare stuff for church, d) call my family, e) write Elder Abel Wilkins, f) turn off the DVD menu which has repeated for like the 13th time, g) finish a quilt, h) eat some more cake or i) put the cake away so as to remove the need to do "h", j) remove the 25 lbs. of folders, papers, books, and other miscellaneous unknown objects from the back of my car, or k) sneak a snapshot of my napping husband. But, life is short AND right now I need a mental outlet for my seemingly never-ending, crazy, busy, don't have time to eat, sleep, or bathe life.
Yes, I need an outlet. Period.
I really am not complaining. I really am grateful for the many, many doors which have opened up to me in the last 2 weeks. Between home, school, work, and church, my life has been filled with incredible new (and challenging) experiences which I know I will be even more grateful for at some future point in my life.
Soooo,here's the topic of my outlet today:

Okay, they we mostly of me...but doesn't the cat look sooooo cute?!--A

Adri, I feel like only you can use the example of liking pink as a sign that you are getting old!
PS. I have said this before, and I will likely say it again...(in a latin accent) I like your bangs!
i didn't know you just got called as young women's president. you are going to do so great in that calling. you have such a sincere, strong testimony that will be such a strength to those girls. oh, and i love that your mother in law got you a camera for christmas. i love seeing pictures in addition to your witty blog posts.
Well then I must be ancient...because I agreed with ALL of the realizations you've had. BTW...thank you for going with me last week. I had a great time with you and I'm hoping we can do it again.
Can you please do one of your celebrity look alike posts of your husband and Casey James from American Idol? Seriously, everytime he is on it makes me giggle- he looks so much like justin!
