News break…

I am saddened to report that the woman I wrote about in my last post, my boss’ wife, has lost her battle with cancer.  She died, at home with her family by her side, on Tuesday, February 22, 2011.  Please, pray for her family during this time of grief.  May God comfort them in their time of need.

On a lighter note, I am more encouraged and excited for my career in library science.  For one of my courses this semester, I have to write a paper based on an observation of a reference desk.  I’ve completed the observations, today and last Wednesday.  It was a lot of fun, and very informative.  I met 7 different librarians and have made some good contacts with them.  It was interesting and cool to be able to give my input to some questions.  Hubby asked me if I was excited about librarianship after the observation.  And I absolutely am.

Yesterday, we were at my parent’s house and got snowed on!  It didn’t stick, but it was awesome.  And FREEZING!  We were out at the SCV Food Truck Festival (which was awesome), and it was hailing/snowing on us.  I forgot my camera at home, and my phone in the car, so I didn’t get any pictures, but we had FrySmith and Papa’s Tapas again.

I am sorry if this post feels very scattered and short, but I am incredibly tired.  🙂  Next week will be more enticing.  And, I need to get at my pictures.

Air mattress?

Why are air mattresses so uncomfortable?

Hubby and I babysitting his nieces as my sister in law and her husband are in Vegas.   It’s been a nice weekend; the girls are super easy to babysit and I visited with my parents for a few hours yesterday.  I’ve also finished homework for the week and am enjoying the Superbowl commercials (I have little interest in who wins the game…I guess I’m rooting for the Packers?).  But we have slept on an air mattress, and it has been awful.  At least this time we remembered our own pillows.

Why do they have the dips in them?  It makes no sense.  And, the covers do not stay on.  Last night, I woke up about 5 times to fix the covers because it was so flipping cold!  And hubby woke up at least twice due to the cold.  Due to this lack of sleep, I am achy and sleepy.  I am very much looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.

On a separate note, I played Just Dance 2 this weekend with the nieces and it was awesome!  It’s so much fun and such a workout.  I believe hubby and I will be purchasing it in the very near future.  I want to get in better shape, and hopefully this game will motivate me.  What motivators do you have in exercise?
