Tar Pit Photos

So here are a few pics. This is Danny's new cheesy smile aren't I cute face. He will do this and walk around with his arms out in front of him like a zombie/blindman. Up top is the tarpits. It would be cool to be a volunteer and retrieve the fossils, dirty job, but cool.

Favorite Color

It looks like our favorite color is blue. But then again I did vote three different times on different computers. I cheat. But that's okay. I'm sitting at work now still trying to recoup from last night. I had over 8 referrals to work up last night. It was great fun. We need to come up with better polls. Or I do at least.

Science museum? Blahhh.

I mean i like science and all but mom is making us go to this thing. I like the mcwane center ( another sci museum thats really cool) but i dont think ill like this one. Oh well at least i get to wear my fav outfit to it, cause nothing gets dirty in a science museum right? Oh yeah can someone ask christian if i get a refund if the makeup cracked and fell apart in the mail??

Elementary School Math + Me = Duh...

So I've invited myself to this little party...hope you all don't mind. I'm at Dan's work at the moment. He's talking to people about eyeballs, and I'm doing homework from which I need a break...

Otis has 12 coins in his pocket worth $1.10. If he only has nickels, dimes, and quarters, what are all of the possible coin combinations?

This is one example of my math problems so far this semester in my Math for Elementary School Teachers class. They're manageable (not easy, just manageable) but by the time I get to the point of figuring out the easiest way to solve the problem, I've had to figure it out the long way first, and then go back and look at it to see the obvious (and easier) way to do it. My brain hurts. I've done too many of these already in the past two weeks. Dan just recommended that I call Johnny for help. Which I may end up doing eventually...Also, my teacher is frightening. She made a girl cry the other day.

Other than that things are going well. This semester is going to be tough for both of us. Probably more-so for Dan. It's only the second week into it and we are both pretty stressed out already. We'll survive. Hope everyone is doing well! Have a good night.

Bowb, Bowb

Hey, I didn't get an invitation on my hotmail account to use the blog, so I think it has to be a goole account: either yahoo or gmail or something. So, what do you want to do if people don't have those accounts-all can create their own account, but just so you know. It would work to keep it private that way. I don't know how many people will choose to get on our blog site, but still. We all know what you mean.

Allowing others to post.

All right. In order to allow other to post under their own name in the blog the admin of the blog (thelackeylegend) needs to log in click the settings link, click the permissions link, and invite a user. After the user has been invited and confirmed an admin can go back to the same page and change the user to an admin. So in order to avoid mass confusion on who is posting what, I would suggest doing this. Also keep the admins limited to those who know what is going on. So change the password to thelackeylegend user account and add users correctly. Also this blog is currently public so if post your name it is available for the world to see.

La Brea Tar Pits

So we visited the La Brea Tar Pits today. Quite interesting. They have recovered thousands of ice age fossils including mammoths, huge sloths, dire wolves, sabor tooth tigers, and of all of these only one set of human remains, a female. Will upload some pics of it later. They boys liked it for the most part, I of course would like to have more time to read the signs along the way. It is free to walk around the outside and see the pits and where they are recovering fossils, so if any of you ever come south our way, we could walk around there and see it.

Guess

Well you know they are going to Mongolia. Really I think South America like Peru maybe probably something medical. Sorry, Dad and Mom. Soccer has started and is going to be fun. I am not coaching Tayte, but will Savannah. I hope she will stay on the field.

Mission Guesses

We are all crossing our fingers that mom and dad will get their mission call TOMORROW. Having said that, we thought it would be fun to take guesses from everyone as to where they think they might get their call. Keep in mind that it is not a regular mission call, it is a medical mission which we believe is more of an area mission than a specific country. Please cast your vote under comments. These are where they have are assignments: North America East, North America Northeast, North America Northwest, North America West, North America Southwest, Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City, Utah South, North America Southeast, Idaho, North America Central, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, South America North, South America West, Brazil, Chile, South America South, Europe West, Europe Central, Europe East, Africa West, Africa Southeast, Asia, Asia North, Phillippines, Australia, New Zealand/ Pacific Islands. These Area assignments were found in the August 2007 Ensign. I am assuming they have more medical missions than that, but those are the areas at least. Have fun guessing. Sarah

Noisy neighbors and the police

Well, our upstairs neighbors are back from Hawaii and our neighbors behind us/kitty corner are as usual, so loud that I keep my bedroom windows closed. Upstairs neighbors, not as laid back about noise, go next door again with stick, knock on window, ask them to hold the noise down. Things get crazy, lots of yelling, (pretty sure the back neighbors are from the Middle East somewhere) language gets thrown around, along with a threat about "lots of bodies" or something, and the police show up. Now, I really wouldn't be too worried if I was sure that the crazy neighbors know I have nothing to do with it, but we did have a dead rat that was totally skinned in the back yard last week after the upstairs neighbor complained the night before. It looked like it had literally run out of its own skin. It was only bones and innards. I really didn't think too much of it, but a few people have suggested that it might have been some type of hazing. Hmmm. Maybe it is time to put the battery back in the alarm system and plug the power source back in, and actually have it connected to the alarm company. Wonder how much a month that will cost? Oh the joys of living in a big city. Did I mention that there is also gang graffiti on upstairs neighbor's garage. Something I believe along the lines of Crypt Killer, East Side Bloods. I'm sure this makes you all want to book your tickets to come visit us immediately right?
