Secret Idenity

Bossy...Aggressive...Assertive

These are some of those qualities that I like least about myself. I work very hard to overcome these tendencies. The only problem is that these are the things that make me good at my job! So I have to be like a super hero and have two personalities...one so I can save the world, the other so people can stand to be my friend.

Connection Problems Diagnositics

So this morning my computer was a little slow to connect to the Internet. There is this special little window that appeared and it asked me if I wanted it to diagnosis my connection problems.

Well of course I do little window, I don't have the time will all I do in my life to figure out why the computer is not functioning as normal...so I clicked the button.

Somewhere deep in the subconscious of my computer it ran tests and was able to repair the connection.

While I waited (doing almost nothing) the whole thing was solved and here I am back in happy Internet connection homeostasis.

I just started thinking that I wish sometimes that there was a repair switch on human connections, or even an icon that said if the signal was strong or weak. I know that the whole concept is a little lazy, but serious sometimes I wish I could just click a button and repair connections (I guess it is because I don't know what is wrong all the time).

Then again if there was such a button in life my career might actually become obsolete....so for now I am okay with the unknown connection problems in life.


PS. I am thinking of having a sign on my office door that says "to diagnosis connection problems click here"

What is the Prize?

Some of you know that I often award random points to people for random things. The other day I was talking to a guy and he said he was going to collect the points for a prize. I asked him what prize and he said me....hum.

Anyway he asked him why I was a prize. I said girls who are a prize don't sit around thinking about why they are a prize.

But I thought you as my friends might offer him some light on the situation.

So my dear friends can you name one or more ways I might be a prize worth winning....just to give me some ideas.

Graduate Vocab List

So there are words out there I find (mostly when reading) that just sounds cool. The one I ran across in my homework today is juxtaposition . I don't hear this work much. I thought I might like to use it more in the future. So I looked up the exact definition...or the definition of the root word.

jux·ta·pose:To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.

What use it is to say a complicated word like justaposition when I can say I compared the two....

What are some words you think I should use more (send the definition too)?

How do you feel about your Treadmill?

Have you ever sat in a room and everyone agreed on this thing they are talking about and you don't, but you don't really want to say anything because it just isn't important enough to bring attention to your differing viewpoint.

Well that is how I feel when we talk about treadmills. The truth is I really like treadmills. I even like treadmills better than the outdoors most of the time. I like the rhythm. I like not having to think even just about the little rocks on the sidewalk. I like watching TV while just walking...it is like I am not even doing anything.

How about you?

Stupor of Thought

I tend to be a decisive person. I make decisions and then move forward. I have worked to make good decisions quickly and then to act. This works pretty good for me.

The other day I was reminded that there is a higher power that we are blessed to have involved in our lives and in our decisions. Because there is only one thing that can stop me from pressing forward when I feel that I am ready to move forward. That is the miracle of a stupor of thought. This feeling of confusing that stops me in my tracks and causes me to re-evaluate.

There are so many people who have asked the question “How will I know?” This question is not one with an answer that brings immediate comfort. The answer is that “You will know what you need to know when you need to know it.” Keep moving. Keep living and trust the Lord.


D&C 9: 8-9 “But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right. But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.”
