take note


I need someone to follow me around so that when an idea hits me, there is someone at the ready to jot down my genius. However I find that genius does not always hit me as often as random lists. Like the one I made in the shower today and am desperately trying to remember as I type this.

-Go to Wal-Mart for deodorant and prescriptions

-Don't forget to grab Smith's in Brigham City's number so that I can transfer JaDee's allergy medicine to here.

-Oh and trail mix for tomorrow's backpacking extravaganza, because I will be on a trail you know

-Make cookies for the Rampton's to say thanks for a fantastic, clam-filled, weekend. Because when I get back from the Extravaganza we are leaving for Utah in 4 days and will have no time for cookie baking

-Call Sarah about dog sitting and house sitting. Better invite her poor lonely self to dinner now that Jed is in Fairbanks

-Figure out how in the heck the 3 kids and I are getting from the airport to Ben's house. I am guessing Courtney and Brooke in the Neon is not a good fit for us and 4 suitcases.

-Where is that rain poncho?

-Blog about needing a note taker.

See what I mean. This was just the shower. I need one in the car too for all of the informative Alaska adds.

-Kenai Fjords day cruises for whale watching

-Mat-Su something or other if I need a burn permit (I don't but you never know).

-Fred Meyer jewelry for that purchase of a lifetime

-that restaurant does sound delicious by the description on the radio. What was its name again?

I will be accepting applications presently. Must be 18 or older, able to speak and write English, make dinner, and wait in the car with my kids while I run into the gas station to get a drink without having to buy one for everyone and get them a pack of gum to boot.

Must be available 24/7.

Payment will include my sincere gratitude in saving my sanity and access to one of the most brilliant minds of this century.

I am still looking for that special someone to sit in the car with Brooke while I run errands. Hey! Maybe we could invent a life like mannequin that also had a tape recorder hidden inside for note taking. There, problem solved! Well, I guess not the cooking part.

If you look at your poll the answer is NO DO NOT GO CAMPING!!! You will always and forever have to go from now on and you have no excuse!

Randy tells me that 'I used to like to fish but now I don't, what happened?' I tell him 'I have kids so now I don't have to like to fish'

Have a fun time but I don't want to hear you complain one bit about it.

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

"Education enriches the mind and enlightens the
soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

"Reading can be dangerous." --Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale


BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
