the question list

I did fill out our census form and Adam mailed it back in. Apparently we were not "quick enough" (even though we were before the deadline) because we got another form in the mail with a stern letter that IT'S THE LAW to fill it out! So I MUST do so! It was April 2 when we got this letter. How about you finish going through the mail, Census people, before you start throwing people off by sending duplicate forms, huh? (And no, Tawnia, I do not include you in the generic "Census people.")

My exciting thing to share is that I'm leaving in about 3 1/2 hours to go to Memphis with two other ladies in my ward for the weekend, to go to Time Out For Women (put on by Deseret Book). I've heard of it, so this should be interesting. The theme is "Infinite Hope." Speakers: John Bytheway (as a replacement for Sheri Dew - I wish it were still Sister Dew), some people I've never heard of but apparently have published books through Deseret, and the incomparable Mary Ellen Edmunds. Musicians: Jenny Oaks Baker (who lives in DC but I never got to one of her performances at the DC Temple Visitors Center) and Hillary Weeks.

Mom, if you could get into that box of my mission binders, there is a picture of me and Sister Edmunds in the MTC section. Could you scan and email it to me? I'd love to do a comparison shot this weekend with her.

I think I go left-then-right with my socks and shoes. But I don't know - never paid attention. And I haven't worn socks and shoes for weeks, even for church. Pregnancy feet have forced me to go entirely with flip-flops for over a month now.

My thoughts about cheese:
1. Wow, we eat a lot of it around here! We can go through a 2-pound block of cheddar (or Colby Jack - those are the most common) in less than a week.
2. Sheesh, it can get kind of expensive to eat that much cheese!
3. Especially since Adam has decided that parmesan cheese in the green can is no longer good enough, and we now get REAL parmesan cheese. Fortunately that block of cheese lasts much longer than a week, because you use only a tiny bit at a time.
4. We have four cheese graters.
5. It's yummy if you toast an English muffin, and as soon as it comes out of the toaster, butter it very quickly and put a very thin slice of cheese on it. Let it sit for a minute so the heat from the muffin softens the cheese, and then eat it. If we had any English muffins, that's what I would have for breakfast today.

That's probably enough thoughts about cheese. Huh. Never knew I had so many.
