I am so glad I have this blog because I can just write random things. Wes makes fun of me because of some of the things that I think about and how I can go from one subject to another within seconds and they will have nothing to do with each other, but, they are both equally random.
So yesterday was a waste of a Saturday for the most part. We had planned to get up and hit an early showing of Mall Cop, then we were going to do some shopping for office stuff and a treadmill. We just couldn't pull it together to get out of the house until 4:30. I really can't pin point what our problem was....just wasn't happening. Anyway, we went to the movie. It was pretty clean, I got bored, but Wes and the kids loved it. We had to sit on the second row to the front because the theatre was so full! Sophie was a skunk, she was not happy to be at the movies. She and I walked the halls and read posters for upcoming movies. That was OK with me. I only wished that I hadn't have worn my "sexy boots". Now these boots are sexy because the heel is 2 and 1/2 inches. which for me is high. They are super adorable as long as I am sitting when I am wearing them! After walking the halls my feet and back were history.
So there is a HUGE recall on peanut butter! Holy smokes tons of people have gotten salmonella poisoning from this. You can go HERE to read about it. Why is it that I hear this, and I hear that everyone should avoid eating peanut butter until there is more info, and all of the sudden I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! It's like a reflex..don't to it...oh but I want too! hmm something that's got me thinking.
Charity has been on my mind. Here are some scriptures from the Book of Mormon.
Moro. 7: 1, 44-47
1 And now I, Moroni, write a few of the words of my father Mormon, which he spake concerning afaith, hope, and charity; for after this manner did he speak unto the people, as he taught them in the bsynagogue which they had built for the place of worship.

44 If so, his afaith and hope is vain, for none is bacceptable before God, save the cmeek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and dconfesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
45 And acharity suffereth long, and is bkind, and cenvieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily dprovoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
47 But acharity is the pure blove of Christ, and it endureth cforever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Do I have Charity, I am asking myself this. I know I love my family selflessly. No question there. What about my neighbor, a stranger, or someone who doesn't like me or my family. I am not there yet, I know this. But essentially isn't that what we are striving for, isn't that what life is about? Ya know what, there are people out there that I wish would learn just a little bit about the concept of Charity. I am tired of the kind of people that are hateful, that no matter what you do, you can't please them. People who just have to be mad at people for the sake of being mad. Just bugs me. Life is so short...more people just need to enjoy the ride.....In turn though I must have charity toward them....my trial I guess.
OK so I am conflicted. tomorrow night I have been invited to go with some gals to a late show. Well when I mentioned it to Wes, he was like but don't you know what tomorrow night is? I was like ...no...and he said 24 is on. People this is our favorite show. We DVR it then when the kids go to bed it's like our little date. Not sure what to do. Jack Bauer is calling my name though.....
I have been thinking so much and now I am tired. Time for my Sunday nap...here is a quick list of other things on my mind, I hope it amuses you.
- I think I am getting sick my sinuses are killing me
- So glad there is no school tomorrow
- did i really just write this post...yikes...should i hit the publish button?
- The Bird Flu...it's back in China again
- I wonder if it will really snow next weekend
- Who really reads my blog...
- I need to call amber
- I really need to go visit my grandparents, they have been on my mind a lot lately.
- I am a daughter of God, and he knows me, and loves me.
So how was it, you just got a glimpse into my mind. I am sure it was fabulous! Just kidding. Oh well that's what blogs are for. ~E

I read your post!! Keep writing - nice to know I'm not the only one with a wondering mind.
Ilike your back ground. nice post. I went and saw Doubt last night it was good. you need to catch me up on 24.
We are big 24 fans as well! I am loving this season so far. Since you can DVR, just DVR 24, go to your movie, and watch it on Tuesday. When Steve is out of town, that's what we have to do.
I'm confused about the PB thing. From what I understood, it was not sent to retail stores, but was more from things cooked with Peanut Butter that you might eat at a restaurant or something. I love your random thoughts :)
well i can relate on random thoughts. garran can never seem to follow my thought process, however it seems completely rational to me. maybe its just because i have been crazy/weird for as long as i can remember.
so here are two things.
one i read your blog. i love your post. they are great.
two. jack bauer is a priority in our house. monday night we do the same thing. put the kids to bed and sit back and watch 24. we love it. tough call. hope you have fun which ever way you decided to go.
sorry i just realized this was a really long comment.=)
Ahh yes the joys of random thoughts. :) I think that is how a womans mind works half of the time. Women are multi taskers even inside of their brains! Ok so I hear ya on the "cute" hooker boots. I wore a pair to my company party & by the end of the night I thought all of my toenails were going to fall off. Justin asked why I wear them & I said "because they are cute" Sheesh what us women will go through to look good. ;)
Hopefully the sinus pain will go away soon! That is miserable!
Erin, I really enjoy reading your blog. You inspire me. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person that goes randomly from one topic to the next. I know the tornado was so hard for you guys, but I truly love reading your experience, you are such a great story teller, you should really write a book. I'm so glad you and your cute family survived.
Me! I read it! You know that! Glad that you spent the evening with Wes! Hot Date!!! You're awesome!
LYB! S~
