Committed

After about half an hour standing in a long line, you can't leave. You are committed. Walking away would mean that you just wasted half an hour. Never mind that there is another 2 hours of waiting in front of you. You just can't do it.

Well, we are now immunized for the H1N1. After standing in a line that wrapped around the Bountiful Event's Center 1 and 1/2 times for 2 and 1/2 hours, we got it. So help me if we pick up the flu before the vaccine kicks in.

Tonight I got to go to the Witches Night Out at Gardiner Village with my mom, Celeste, and her friend. Always fun... chalk full of hundreds of women, all dressed up like witches. Shopping, dancing, eating, talking. All the stuff we do so well. It was so much fun. So we couldn't figure out why some women would get dressed all skanky to go to an almost all women event (there is the occaisional guy, but you know that he is TOO attached if he is following his girl around here), which is outside in October. The weather ended up being lovely... but I was still wearing a jacket and long-sleeve shirt.

Rob left today for Chicago. Bless his heart, he got home last night at 3am, which I guess isn't really abnormal, but can I mention once more how excited we are to graduate? He was happy that he did get this big paper submitted in time. Now he is off to a conference in Chicago, and then goes straight to Ann Arbor, for another big conference. Then he is home for 1 and 1/2 days before heading out for another conference in New Zealand. I think that he will start working full-time after he gets back. Oh, our closing on the house got pushed back to next week. Which reminds me, Friday, when we were supposed to be closing on our home (but some of the buyer's paperwork didn't get done in time), we had a great time at Chuckey Cheese, or "Chunky Cheese" as my kids call it. It was fun celebrating Alex's birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Franklin, and the cousins love playing together. This is why I live in Utah, so we can do stuff like this.

Anyway, a bunch of random events and thoughts. So after you started reading this email, and then it became a long-winded calendar, did you feel compelled to keep reading, even though you were bored? Just to finish? Okay, I need to go to bed now.
