I saw this video this morning, and it was a real tear jerker. Loved it!

JUST WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST ---
A COOL BREEZE!!!
Thank You, Heavenly Father!
My AC went out on us on Saturday night. Ugggh. The fan on our old 21 year old unit is completely broken. So for the past couple days, I've been hanging at my sister's house. We've been having a lot of fun, but I'm glad there's a cool breeze to help me stay here so we can get estimates for a new system, and so I can get some stuff done. When we came back from Victoria's house on Sunday night, our house was like walking into a sauna. It was SO HOT, but fortunately, the night breeze kept me cool for the night. Debbie, a friend of mine, mentioned to me how the pioneers must have felt in over 100 degree weather without AC or any electricity or ice. All I know is that I wouldn't want to be them right now. I can hardly walk up my stairs without breaking a sweat, let alone cross the hot plains at 9 months pregnant.
So, to keep cool, we'll be going to different friends' houses, and hope that this breeze lasts for another week until we can get our AC system replaced. Even Tekina has asked if our air conditioner is coming today. Oh, boy do I wish it was! I hope this cool weather lasts!!!

TAGGED
I've never been tagged before. What an honor. I'd just like to thank my manager..... you love me... you really love me! Or hate me. One of the two.
Anyhow, here's the questions I'll answer for my tag:
Four Places I've Lived:
1. Laie, Hawaii
2. Boise, Idaho
3. San Jose, California
4. Meridian, Idaho
Four Favorite Books (not in any specific order):
1. The Peacegiver by James L. Farrell
2. What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child by Glenn Doman
3. The Proper Care And Feeding Of Marriage by Laura Schlessinger
4. The Book of Mormon
Four Favorite Movies (again, not in any order)
1. Titanic
2. My Fair Lady
3. Annie
4. The Lion King
Four Embarrassing Facts About Me
1. I have matching moles on my triceps
2. I am really an airhead ... even though I may not come off as one.
3. I'm pretty persuasive... even when I'm wrong, so I can steer a lot of people in the wrong direction, and I have before -- not on purpose, though.
4. Why am I answering this question? Why would I really want to embarrass myself more than I have to? You suck, Jenny.
Four Dreams of Mine
1. To eventually compete in triathalons
2. To go to Tonga with my family to visit my future vacation hut on the beach.
3. To meet my extended family in Switzerland and tour Europe.
4. To have enough money to be a shop-o-holic and play dress-up with Finelea when all the other kids are out of the nest. Sounds fun, huh?
Four Pet Peeves
1. TV on Sundays -- unless it's a family movie at night accompanied by popcorn
2. Profanity -- in all forms.
3. People ruining a time that should be fun/enjoyable because of moodiness.
4. A messy home when I come back from vacation. Where's Mary Poppins when you need her?
I was trying to avoid tagging anyone back, but apparently, that's the whole idea of tagging, so those of you on the list below are "IT". I don't really know if any of you read my blog, but here it is:

FRUMPOLOGY 101
1. Never wear designer clothes, or anything resembling designer clothes ... EVER.
2. As long as you don't stink too badly, it's not worth taking a shower.
3. Getting ready for going to the grocery store is unnecessary. Just wear your pajamas you wore the night before.
4. Pajamas are your friends.
5. Curling iron, and blow dryer? What are those?
6. Hairspray may only be used the night before a frump day as long as it creates a massive mess on your head.
7. Spend most of your day on the computer, TV, or inside the house doing mindless activities. Make sure your kids are doing mindless activities too.
8. Layers of deodorant can fix most stinky problems.
9. Washing your face and brushing your teeth are allowed as long as you don't apply makeup afterwards.
10. Make sure your kids don't look better than you if you dare venture out into the open.
I don't know if I need to explain to you my little course on frumpology, but I will just say, as I get bigger and bigger, and as my maternity jeans get too small, I'm resorting to pajama pants and large t-shirts. It's very sad. I have a few cute clothes, but they're mostly winter attire that there's no way I can wear in this HOT HOT weather. Plus, what good would I be as a frump if I looked great in my maternity clothes?
