like whoa...

today at work i saw something totally awesome. crazy, i know. we were in a meeting. that makes it even crazier, right? in the conference room. there is this white board where we were writing ideas for training and refreshers that would be helpful, and when we had written them...this is the amazing part...they turned on this thing, and the white board like scrolled around and this little printer at the bottom printed out a page of what was written on the board. and, incidentally, it revealed the other side where whatever from the last meeting was written. but i seriously had no idea that things like that existed. it was so cool. not like crazy hi-tech, just like, oh my gosh, who made that up and why have i never seen that before? it was pretty awesome. at least the other new girl and i thought so. everyone else just seemed to be amused that we were so excited.

mike holm is a freakin stud

cuz we had book club at his house tonight and it was just him and seven ladies, and i think that's pretty much awesome. i wish i could get seven guys over to my house. maybe i should try talking to some. and then maybe i could move on to invitations. hmm. i'll think about that.

girls! all i really want is girls! and in the morning it's girls! cuz in the evening it's girls! i like the way that they walk! and it's chill to hear them talk and i can always make 'em smile from white castle to the nile.

yes, that did randomly come on right then, and i couldn't help it.

did i mention white castle's are good? from the restaurant, not the freezer.

jack and mike d to my dismay...

lunch with captain moroni

so, when i first moved to seattle i was really good at reading my scriptures every day. probably because i had no friends and spent most of my time at home by myself. but then i started to get a little busier and i decided that i wasn't being as diligent as i wanted, so i determined that i would take my scriptures to work and read during my lunch break. and i love it! traditionally i've been a "before i go to bed" person, but reading during the day is really cool. it's such a nice break from the hectic stuff at work, and it's so awesome to get to feel the spirit every day in the midst of life and...i dunno, just everything. plus, i feel like my mind is already more alert at work and i think i pay attention to things that i might not otherwise notice when i read when i'm tired or something.

anyway, i've been reading in alma this week and it's pretty awesome. i know, i'm behind the sunday school reading... but at the rate i'm going it will still be way before the end of the year when i finish the BoM for the...um...i lost count how many times...10th? 12th? oh well... my triple is pretty beat up, but i just can't part with this set of scriptures cuz i've had them forever and all my stuff is marked! and i'm not quite the scriptorian that i was in seminary in high school so i'm afraid i'd be lost without my own familiar set... but in a good way... :D
