We went sailing again yesterday at Bear Lake. Good times were had by all, especially because we won the race.





Marilyn fell asleep right after the race. She slept while the rest of us swam and played for a bit, and she woke up right as we finished getting the boat cleaned up after the race. I just love taking pictures of Marilyn sleeping; she holds still!

I have yet another cold, although this one is pretty mild. I did take some sudafed though, and I think I'm going to blame that on keeping me up. Inspiration struck while lying awake in bed though, so I just finished one of those in the middle of the night layouts. Luckily I don't have many because really I should be sleeping in the middle of the night.

I might just take another look at this in the morning and wonder what I was thinking, but here is my first layout since April.

Here are a bunch of my latest flower pictures.







I also realized I haven't posted any pictures of the candle holder I was making back in May. Here it is all finished.


and this is what it looks like illuminated.


and here's my latest favorite shot of Marilyn. She's asleep of course.

I think I've always enjoyed lasagna, and who doesn't really... maybe vegans who are trying to make it with tofu and funky non-dairy cheese I suppose, but lasagna is basically really yummy. I've always used my mom's recipe because that's what daughters do, but I found another one that I'm afraid I like better.

Every month a few of us in the neighborhood get together to share recipes, and I chose to make lasagna for the main dish tonight. Of course, yesterday all day long I was thinking it was Thursday, so I rushed home after work and whipped the whole thing up. I made it to the host's house before I realized it was only Wednesday. Then I had to come home and figure out where to put the lasagna and clean up the kitchen. This made tonight a lot simpler though, so it all worked out for the best I think. Lasagna is always better the second day too.

Anyway, the recipe I followed is one from The Pioneer Woman. I've loved everything I've made so far from her site, and this was no exception. Yumm!

Today I had what could have been the most embarrassing moment of my life. I usually get dressed in the dark, and this morning I guess I was a little more tired than usual, or perhaps just my shirt was a little more complicated. I dress in layers for work because it’s a bit chilly in the morning, and in the afternoon it warms up.

Well, today at work I took off my sweatshirt only to discover I wasn’t entirely in my t-shirt. I ducked behind some boxes as quickly as humanly possible and fixed the problem, and luckily no one saw my mishap.

This of course brings back the memories of an elementary school program. We were all dressed up like penguins for some reason, and afterwards I decided to take off my oversized, black button-up shirt. I really thought I had put something on underneath it, but I hadn’t. I managed to escape this episode without humiliation as well, but the fear of accidentally stripping in public has stuck with me ever since. That fear has now been intensified.
