Do I ever have to go home?

Things we did today:

Got up, ate breakfast outside on the patio, and watched S-Boogie play in the sandbox for nearly an hour.

Drove out to visit my Mom's classroom and to see my Dad in the hospital (he had surgery, but should be home tomorrow).

Stopped by In-N-Out for lunch.

Finished reading Girl in Hyacinth Blue and took a nap.

Talked to my sister in Morocco on the phone for half-an-hour (yay!)

Played with S-Boogie in the pool for an hour.

Went out for Indian food; S-Boogie pretty much just had nan for dinner, but she was very well behaved in the restaurant.

Let Grandma completely indulge S-Boogie by taking her to the Shark Reef and buying her cool things from the gift shop, like a stuffed shark that comes in its own purse and a marine life coloring book.

Can't wait to see what we're going to do tomorrow...

This sounds so blissful! What a fun day. It's so nice when you can relax and know that you're kid is having just as good a time as you are.

So what di dyou think of Girl? Personally, I like it. I like the format. And I like the art discussion there. I used to require this book when I taught Engl 311. Now I don't remember why.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
