Here are my thoughts....

1. Am I the only one that thinks it's odd that someone would change their status from single to married just moments after getting hitched? If that blessed event ever happens in my life, I can think of a bazillion other things to do than that. I'm just saying.

2. When it comes to exercising, I have a little devil and angel on my shoulder. The devil tells me that I am so tired after a long day of work and that I need to just relax. I usually never hear what the angel has to say. Dang it! I must be better.

3. My good friend, Miss M, sent me ten postcards with random thoughts on the back. It totally made my week. And, she is just as odd as I am, so I loved the thoughts.

4. People magazine got it right with Ryan Reynolds. Oh delish. Next year? Ashton Kutcher or The Rock or Zac Efron. Ah heck, I ain't picky!

5. I just finished reading "Fast Food Nation" I loved it, but some parts made me want to vomit on my shoes. It was very interesting. I don't think I can ever visit a Mickey Dees again. Sorry, Ronald!

6. As I type this, Isaac is downstairs giggling. I love that. I didn't love that nasty diaper he gifted me earlier today, but I do still love that kid.

7. I love taking Isaac to the grocery store and watching people trying to figure him out.

8. The movie "Tangled" is pretty darn cute.

9. When Disneyland came up with the slogan, "Happiest Place on Earth". Do you think that Walt had actually been to every place on earth? Who knows, maybe Chad is a really happy place to be.

10. You know what a fun activity is? Going on to Weber County's website and typing in people you went to high school with and finding out if they served jail time. Super fun!

Bonus thought: I was almost ready to give up on Glee, but I have felt that last two episodes really redeemed itself. And, Miss Paltrow did a lovely lovely job as the substitute.

What up with that....




My older sis showed this little delightful gem to me. I laughed. I hope you will laugh too! I love the nod to John Stockton in this.

Count your Many Blessings....



Today, in Relief Society the closing song was "Count Your Many Blessings". I love that song. While singing it, I was reminded of my MTC district. Every district, before leaving the MTC, would sing a song, in their foreign language, in their branch. We were invited to do so. We thought about singing, "I Know that My Redeemer Lives", but we were so terrible that we had to sing something with a little more pep and one that would sort of hide the fact that most of us could not sing. We picked "Count Your Many Blessings" Since then, every time I sing this song, it makes me laugh a little because of my MTC district.

p.s Notice the Elder scowling at me...I had a HUGE crush on him! And, I am pretty sure he had a crush on me, too. Of course, we couldn't do anything about it.

I wish I were that skinny still, but not with that hairdo.

I love this! When the weather is lovely outside, this man in my ward rides his bike to church. I just think it's so cute. (Can I say that about a man in his 80's?) He rides his bike almost every Sunday during the summer and I have wanted to take a picture. As luck would have it, I happened to have my camera with me. I had to drive very slowly behind him, so I wouldn't hit him and so he wouldn't get spooked (you know, like a horse and then ride off all crazy like). I think I got a good one. Oh, and he wears an Albert Einstein tie every week, too. See.... he is just cute!!

Following in my footsteps.


I would bet that most people would be thrilled if their child or niece/nephew emulated them by doing something that they had taught them or something that the adult did. Well, my adorable niece is just that type of girl. Let me tell you, dear reader of Pretty Much Megan, a fun story!
There once was a very cute and very outgoing (aka talkative) little second grader. We shall call her Began. Now Began was everyone's friend and didn't like to exclude anyone in her friendship circle, so everyone in Mrs. Jeweks (she was one of Began's favorite teachers) class was her friend. Therefore, since everyone was her friend, she had to talk to all of her friends. Sometimes it was a hard job, but still managed and did so with such pizzazz and flair (ok, I just added that, but I am pretty sure it was the case!) Her teacher, however, was a little bit frustrated with Began's talking. So, the teacher moved Began to several different tables hoping that maybe she would find someone that she didn't get along with and not talk to as much. Well, if you remember the beginning of this delightful little story, this girl had no enemies...except for Johnny and that was in the first grade and he was just jealous because I (oops I mean Began) was such a super reader! I digress.....
This delightful little second graders teacher had a brilliant idea. She moved Began to a table with ALL boys. "This would stop that girl from talking!" she thought. But, unfortunately her plan failed and Began realized she had a captive audience. When parent teacher conferences rolled around, Began's parents attended. Her teacher said very nice things about her like, "She is such a great student, but I just CAN'T get her to stop talking!"
Well, this delightful second grader grew up and became an aunt. This girl's parents also went to parent teacher conferences. Guess what they said about this adorable niece? That's right....she talks too much in class!
A child after my (oops I mean Began's) own heart!
The End!!
Happy Birthday, BOO!! Hope you had/have a great day! I love you lots.
