Oh sweet revenge...

So this guy was flying united and his $3,500 guitar gets broken by their bagagge handlers. Well after persuing all of the avenues with no luck this was his response song...


They say hell hath no fury like a women scorned...looks like the same goes for musicians.

If you want to win the game you got to make more baskets.

This is a common phrase used in our family. We say it in reference to things that are kind of no brainers. Like if you want to lose weight you have to eat right and exercise, etc. Well this week Cindy emailed me the link to a really funny video that is the embodiment of that phrase in the context of our current economic crisis. If only we could have all stuck with the plan instead of following the fad diets that seem so attractive and provide such instant though not long lasting results.

Here's the video:

Words to live by!

I'm and Aunt! (agian)

As some of you know my next oldest Sister Sara has been expecting her forth child, well he arrived today at 8:28 am and weighed in at 8lbs and 7 oz 19.7 inches long. His name is Thomas Dale and he is perfect. He was named after Sara and my father (Thomas) and Shawns father (Dale) So far he seems to take after them both. He has dark hair and the Hachtel squinty eyes like his Grandpa Tom and a red tint to his hair in the light like his Grandpa Dale. The good news is he seems to have more hair on top of his head than both his Grandpas combine!! :)

Motherhood

I wanted to share this. It is excerpts from a talk given by Sheri Dew, who was then a member of the Relief Society General Presidency, in November 2001. I still remember how I felt when I heard this talk it was one of the first Relief Society General Conferences I ever attended.

“When we understand the magnitude of motherhood, it becomes clear why prophets have been so protective of woman’s most sacred role. While we tend to equate motherhood solely with maternity, in the Lord’s language, the word mother has layers of meaning. Of all the words they could have chosen to define her role and her essence, both God the Father and Adam called Eve “the mother of all living”—and they did so before she ever bore a child. Like Eve, our motherhood began before we were born. Just as worthy men were foreordained to hold the priesthood in mortality, righteous women were endowed premortally with the privilege of motherhood. Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.
As daughters of our Heavenly Father, and as daughters of Eve, we are all mothers and we have always been mothers. And we each have the responsibility to love and help lead the rising generation. How will our young women learn to live as women of God unless they see what women of God look like, meaning what we wear, watch, and read; how we fill our time and our minds; how we face temptation and uncertainty; where we find true joy; and why modesty and femininity are hallmarks of righteous women? How will our young men learn to value women of God if we don’t show them the virtue of our virtues? Every one of us has an overarching obligation to model righteous womanhood because our youth may not see it anywhere else.
As mothers in Israel, we are the Lord’s secret weapon. Our influence comes from a divine endowment that has been in place from the beginning. In the premortal world, when our Father described our role, I wonder if we didn’t stand in wide-eyed wonder that He would bless us with a sacred trust so central to His plan and that He would endow us with gifts so vital to the loving and leading of His children. I wonder if we shouted for joy at least in part because of the ennobling stature He gave us in His kingdom. The world won’t tell you that, but the Spirit will. We just can’t let the Lord down. And if the day comes when we are the only women on earth who find nobility and divinity in motherhood, so be it. For mother is the word that will define a righteous woman made perfect in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom, a woman who has qualified for eternal increase in posterity, wisdom, joy, and influence.”

To all of the mothers who have mothered me in my life HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Easter

So I am a little late but when am I ever on time? I had a wonderful Easter this last Sunday and I hope you did as well. I think besides Christmas Easter is my favorite holiday. I love that it is family oriented and that its purpose is to bring us closer to Christ. I have to say that this Sunday was not horrible different than most Sunday's I was still horribly busy most of the day getting things done and at the end I felt pretty stressed. But It was still special because a little over two millennia ago Christ did for me what I cannot do for myself and because he did this I can return to live with Him and my Father in Heaven one day. I found the following is a video clip that I LOVE it makes me even more grateful for the peace I have in my life that came at such a cost:



The part where he talks about Christ having presence of the Father withdrawn from him so that he would know how we felt is my favorite. I remember when I first heard it, it hit me hard in the heart to think that he really does know how I feel when I sin and remove my self from the presence of the spirit because of my bad choices.

Words of wisdom

Last Christmas I received a page a day calender for 2009 with each day having fashion advice from Tim Gunn. (Whom I love and would love to take shopping with me someday). Well last Fridays fashion advice went as follows:

"It is never a good idea to have a provocative word printed on the seat of your pants."

Truer words were never spoken...

NOOOOOOOOO!

NEW YORK – After months in limbo, "Project Runway" has a new home at Lifetime. The design-competition series that originally aired on the Bravo network had been mired in a legal struggle involving NBC Universal, which owns Bravo, the Weinstein Co. and the Lifetime channel.

The dispute began last April after NBC Universal sued Weinstein after the production company made a reported $150 million deal with Lifetime for the series that features supermodel Heidi Klum as host.

That lawsuit has been settled. In a statement Wednesday, NBC Universal said Weinstein will pay the media company "for the right to move `Project Runway' to Lifetime. All parties are pleased with the outcome.'"


My cable package includes Bravo but it DOES NOT inlcude Lifetime!! First the enconomy and now this, please exuse me while I cry...
