If for no one else - I have to update for Michele! :)
SO!!!! Dan and Memphis are in the final two. I am so ready for Dan to win - I'm just saying. He has played the game so well and totally deserves the win! And I suspect Jerry will be the one in the jury to win the $25,000.
In other news...we are driving into Denali Park this weekend so I hope to have some good picture of our weekend to post. I'm hoping we'll get to see something...and that we won't freeze. Both of which are huge hopes! We're going with some friends of ours and I'm looking forward to the time together.

This is a totally stupid blog
Seriously.
But if you're watching Big Brother (like you should be) then you know that this is a very serious blog (in a stupid way).
I can't believe how incredibly smart Dan is. Of course we picked him as a favorite in the beginning and I have been intrigued watching him work the game. I couldn't get over the way he used the veto ceremony last night to be sure that Keesha thought he was on her side and to set it up so that Memphis would be the bad guy. I LOVE IT! I so hope he wins - as long as Jerry doesn't get crazy and turn into a superhero - and it comes down to Memphis and Dan I know he'll win. If Jerry is part of the final two - i know the jury will choose him.
Sweet.
Okay, I'm done with my stupid post - I'm just pleased as punch at how smart the game was played this time. No weird guy/girl things just good game strategy and smart playing.

Good Friends
Do you ever have those moments when you hang out with people you've known for a few years but never really did anything with and suddenly you're like, where have these people been all our lives?
John and I hung out with a family from church this weekend and had a great time. We got in the car on our way home and thought...what took us so long to get to know them? It's weird how you get caught up in your own life and don't take time out to get to know other people. I've been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to be so busy your own day to day that you miss others and what is happening for them. I know I've missed hurting friends because I was too uncomfortable to ask or too busy to care. hmmm...something for me to think about.

Job Well Done
Yesterday was one of those days when I left work feeling like I got something done. In fact I was so engrossed in my work that quitting time came and went and yet I was here. That doesn't happen very often for me. I'm usually running out the door just as the clock strikes 3:30 (I pretent I'm a union member! :))
I like those days when you feel like you're doing something worth doing, and getting stuff done. Yay for those days, and yay for Fridays!

Go Sarah, Go Sarah, Go Sarah
I can't help but be so proud of Sarah Palin.
Maybe I'm being too naive, and not looking at all of the political (schmolitical) issues. But seriously...a person who supports life like she does and isn't shy about saying so, and is a woman (*shock* a woman who is pro life and not afraid to say it), and has experienced moments in her own life when the world would say "wow you should have taken care of that" it makes me proud (and frankly a bit teary). And it makes me wish that I had an opportunity to stand up like that too.
Go Sarah!

The most important question
Will Dan be able to win the $500,000 on Big Brother X? This is the most important question.

So...what else goes on?
Sigh...Jeni's gone and life is back to normal.
After a fun time of hanging with family how strange it feels to be back in the normal groove of life.
We had a very relaxing weekend. We had a great time Saturday - taking Jeni out to breakfast with friends, hiking and then shopping around town for gifts. I like going into those cheesy gift shops...and who doesn't like Alaska Wildberry? Jeni left Saturay night - how sad...
Sunday we went to church and had nursery and then spent the afternoon doing some shopping. John had to do some stuff for work, so I picked some more raspberries and made jam. My friend shared her fab recipe with me for rhubarb custard bars so I made a batch of those. Yum...got them out of the house as soon as possible. I also froze some so we'll see how they hold up.
I must have been in a nesting mood because I busted out my scrapping and got to work wrapping up a book that's been waiting for me to finish it for several months. We ( mostly I) watched Gone with the Wind and finished my scrapbook. YAY! Now I can move on to January of 2007 - I'm catching up!
