We're all a little Nutty

20 years ago, I would have shrieked with delight if Ty Detmer passed me on the trail to the Y. Yesterday, I just pointed excitedly after he walked past....with his teenage daughter. OK. After he was gone, I shrieked a little. And 20 years ago, I wouldn't have been afraid to go to a class reunion. Mine is tonight and I find myself terrified to go. I have built up so many negative emotions about my high school years that I don't want to subject myself to it again. But, as Sam reminds me, I can do hard things. And so, I am forcing myself to go and be brave and smile and pretend that I am not still extremely insecure! I hope that I have improved in other more noticeable ways over the past 20 years -- aside from a slightly greater level of maturity in regards to BYU football icon sightings. Maybe my head of grey hair will give me some credibility.

We came across this Youtube video celebrating Harry Potter mania. Seeing as it is a hometown parody, maybe you will get a good laugh out of it, too. BYU Divine Comedy Firebolt

Thanks to the spring water coming from our yard, our gutter almost always has slime growing in it during the summer months. My brother recently suggested that we should experiment to see if this slime has some sort of health or medicinal benefit. You know, like Windex? Last night for dinner we ate this: It was delicious. I made my own pesto -- one of my favorite things about summer. My kids, however, asked if it was made with this: I'll never tell...but who knows...maybe we'll all get really healthy soon.
