mmmm Toast dipped in Yogurt.

So after reading my friend, Lisa's blog, I have reverted to an old stuck-in-my-head-for-a-week song... click here if you want to hear something catchy :D

It's been a long coupla days... but so good. Yesterday I rented a total of 4 suites. Yup, 4. In one day. I don't know why, especially considering that I've had 6 basically sitting empty the last 2 months... and all of a sudden, they're almost all gone. Finally. I'm looking forward to that space of time where I can ignore my phone because my voicemail will say something along the lines of "NO VACANCIES, leave me alone!" :D I also have a new boss (another. have I already posted about this? She's like, #5 in a year) and yesterday she almost made me cry for feeling stupid for not knowing what the warranty on a stove or fridge should be. This has never been a part of my job description before... after the phone call, I realized that she is probably just frustrated with her own lack of knowledge, and I just need to be understanding and remember that I am good at my job and not stress so much. That's probably what changed, is I just decided to feel better about myself and things turned for the better. Among other things, I think HF was just wanting me to remember to count my blessings.

Today I did another Heritage Makers workshop :) It was for a girl that I met at our insurance broker's office - she is the secretary, and saw the book that I did for Gabby and got really excited - she's so funny, too; she's been doing this for about a month now, has already published 2 books, hosted a party (and *ahem* won tons of free publishing credits) and told me today that she's got another 11 projects on the go, and a few more already ready to publish. Fantastic! Seriously loving this job, I've met some of the funnest (yup, it's a word now) people and I'm just having a blast doing it!

This picture was trying to capture a "moment" from yesterday; it didn't quite do it, but it's still cute!

Gabby has been ROLLING... except that she usually only does it when we're not looking. So you've all seen the famous scooting/bum stuck under the couch pictures... she's also taken to going from back-to-front and front-to-back, except that we only see that she has magically changed position on our living room floor -- if you're looking at her, she'll just look back at you and wait for you to turn around so she can do it again. Figures. The only time I've actually seen her roll is when I put her in her bed and stood behind her crib so she thought I'd left the room, and then she promptly flipped onto her stomach by grabbing the crib bars and pulled herself onto her tummy, and then she kicked her feet along the bars so that she'd turned 90-degrees, which then put her face right between the bars, and she started wailing because she was "stuck" and wanted us to come help her. And cuddle. Tricky little girl!

Oh, and her favorite thing to say now is "blah, blah, blah" as in "all you guys ever say to me is 'blah blah blah' so I'm saying it back to you!"

A few days ago, I found "Stolen Innocence" at my MIL's house and started reading it, and got sucked in, and so I found it at the library and it is REALLY hard to put down. Insanity. It's about a girl who grew up in a polygamous sect under Warren Jeff's, basically an autobiography... I've always been a teeny bit curious about those "other mormons" and so this book finally offers a glimpse. The way they've twisted things... it's crazy. And I'm still working on Uncle Tom's Cabin. And Glenn Beck's "An Inconvenient Book". All good reads, all hard to put down. As if I had time to just sit and read! :D

So after my crazy-busy coupla days, I'm finally eating dinner at 11:30 at night - toast, which I've discovered is really tasty when dipped in yogurt, and half a baked yam, and an orange. Yum.

My mom is visiting this upcoming week, so be prepared for a bit of a hiatus in my posting! Don't cry - I WILL be back :)
