My Daily Ten

I decided to copy Sister Boyce's "daily ten" that she likes to do on her blog. Perhaps it will get me to writing more often.


(1) I have a new writing gig. I found a listing for a content writer on craigslist and decided to contact the guy. He thinks my writing is pretty good and he was pleased that my rates are reasonable. He has had six writers (one after another) in the past, and they were all flakes. I promised him that I am not a flake. So far, he seems happy with my work. He's also LDS and refuses to do marketing for any "adult" companies. Whew!!!!

(2) Our lettuce is growing! I was out moving our tomato pots into the brightest part of the sun when I took a look at our planter and saw little green leaves poking out of the soil. I was so excited that I went back into the apartment and got Stephan to have him see! Maybe I didn't inherit my mother's black thumb after all.

(3) My father-in-law has started radiation treatment. More on that another time.

(4) Stephan is planning our anniversary trip. We heard on the radio that "Pride and Prejudice" is going to be performed at the Utah Shakespeare Festival this summer, and the wheels in Stephan's head started turning. I didn't even hint at it, honest! Nothing is set in stone quite yet, but we've got time. Our anniversary isn't until August.

(5) Both of my flats died, so Stephan offered to take me shoe shopping on Saturday. Yes folks, I have a husband who offers to take me shoe shopping. I didn't get any flats, but I got two new pairs of sandals (black and brown) for the summer. They're pretty much the most comfortable shoes ever, but they'd better last me a long time because I paid a little more than I would have liked.

(6) Why is it so hard to find size 7 shoes? Seriously, I had to look high and low for shoes in my size! So annoying.

(7) I think I'm addicted to baking desserts. Especially cookies. This can't be good, but oh, it tastes so good. What can I say? Most of the women in my family are excellent bakers.

(8) After writing articles for a good portion of the day on my computer, I don't like the computer much anymore. This helps me get back into my other hobbies, like reading and crocheting.

(9) Did you know I live really close to a Catholic church? Yes, there are Catholic churches in Utah. Yesterday, Stephan and I were taking a walk, and there was a huge party going on at that Catholic church. Those Catholics sure know how to party.

(10) War stories make for good starters to Sunday School lessons. We had a substitute in Gospel Doctrine yesterday, who is a Vietnam veteran, started the lesson with a personal account from his days in Vietnam. It was powerful.

The end.
