Laziness?

I have been really bad at blogging lately - some of it has to do with a boring life, some with being lazy and a little because I just don't get around to it (which is of course like being lazy). Like I said my talk went well. I talked about righteous traditions in our family. Mama told me that I would have to make them up, ha ha. I talked about temple endowments and sealings, FHE, family prayer, always going to church (where ever and however small the ward or twig is), doing what the Lord wants you to do (everything from moving to Mandy and Nathan). I of course used the words of Sister Lant, who gave a wonderful talk. I felt the Spirit and I think others did as well. As far as talks go I think it probably went well.
I finished my questions and now onto my grant proposal. I asked my friend today how long hers was and it was 21 single spaced pages - yuck! I want to get the whole done by the end of July so I need to get started and move fast if I am to succeed! I think that the questions went well, at least I hope so. I am just so glad that that part is complete!
I start a new job on June 2nd and so that should be interesting. I will be working for the Nutrition Extension Program which is a part of MU that teaches the communities and school aged children about nutrition. Good idea to work for them because I am doing my dissertation on nutrition. Seems to make sense to me. I will be working on a paper with one of my bosses starting next week and have to finish up a study and write up a paper for that as well. I am busy but sometimes feel like I am not doing anything!
I realized today that June is in two weeks and I need to think about applications to MPH schools - crazy! So, I get to write another paper about how wonderful I am and how the school can't possibly live without me! How ridiculous is that? Of course they can, they have for this long and will after I am gone - I hate those essays! I am not that talented at lying about my abilities and desires to be something great when I finish their 18 month program - like 18 months somehow transforms a person! I am going to be a treat on entrance committees when I finally am done going to school.
Suzan hasn't had her baby yet (due date: May 6, 2008)! She is hoping soon, the baby is so low that the doctor can feel the babies head but she is at a 1 and has been for 2 weeks. She wants to do it all natural so she is trying hard to avoid the inducing date of May 22. I go out to Utah May 23rd - I hope that she is here by then!
