So. Apparently, I am a "bad blogger". In the past few days I have been informed, by friends and family, that I "suck" as a blogger. Many apologies. I fear, though, that I have nothing to say and so, I say nothing. It's not that I don't want to record my every action here on this very public space (actually, it is that I don't want to record my every action here...but only partially), it's that my day to day existence is excruciatingly boring. However, because I like to respond appropriately when I have been reprimanded, I will now treat you to a detailed account of my most recent activities. For the past month. Do please remember that you asked for it.
In the past month:
1. Went to work. A lot.
2. Wished I wasn't at work. A lot.
3. Explained to my boss, for the 1000th time, that, yes, is absolutely necessary that the lectures we produce be historically accurate.
4. Went to New Jersey.
5. Sat in Newark Airport for 4.5 hours.
6. Met a bird that lived in the airport. Met his little friend. Named the bird: Moe. Named the friend: Harriet. I have no idea if the names are gender appropriate. I am adding "Looking up from my book, whilst sitting at gate C-121 in Newark New Jersey, only to see 2 little birds hopping around my feet" to my list of somewhat disturbing bird encounters.
7. Was invited to the AP reading again. WOOHOO.
8. Realized I may not be able to go to the AP Reading. Sad.
9. Began looking for a full time, classroom based teaching job.
10. Heard that 700 or so teachers are going to be laid off after this school year.
11. Suspended the search for a full time teaching job until further notice.
12. Made contact with an old friend (I am still planning to call Emily! I am just slow!)
13. Went to church.
14. Wrestled with Primary children.
15. Wondered what, in the name of all that is holy and good, the Bishop was thinking when he called me to the Primary Presidency.
16. Felt really bad, on multiple occassions, for really, really struggling with being in the Primary Presidency.
17. Read a bunch of books.
18. Did not, despite good intentions, finish the quilt that is sitting in my living room. In the quilt frame. For 4.5 months.
19. Faciliated 3 online courses.
20. Started facilitating 4 more online courses.
21. Joined a gym.
22. Started getting up at 4:30 to attend the aforementioned gym.
23. Isaac bought a roadbike.
24. Went biking.
25. Got really, really sunburned while biking. Stupid Arizona.
25. Completed saving for a new car. (Today!)
26. Watched the news and felt really grateful for the decision to live debt-free.
27. Found an incredible sewing/quilting/embroidery machine and hated the decision to live debt-free.
28. Decided to save for the aforementioned sewing machine. Even if it takes a year.
29. Discovered, painfully, that I am quite allergic to macadamia nuts.
30. Isaac settled on a final project
31. Isaac is working like a crazy person to finish the final project.
32. Isaac pretty much rocks GIS and website design. (this isn't only true of the last month; it's always true. But, it needed to be said. In case anyone forgot, or something)
33. I think this about covers it.
34. But, 32 is an odd number to stop on.
35. So, I added three lines to make it 35.
There. Penance complete. Let this be a lesson to you, should you ever wish I blogged more.

AS your sister, I did not know even half of that, so stop whining about how you don't like blogging, and just go private if it bugs you to be "public" silly sister. Or, you could, oh, I don't know, call me more often. :)
Loved the list. Loved the complaining!
Erin you are a dork. But I think you have done some good over the past month. So are you buying a bew car soon? What kind and why?
Hello you went to New Jersey what's more fun that that? UMMMM a root cannal w/o drugs!!! Hope to see you in June!!!
I'm with Morgan. I didn't know any of this either, so I appreciate the update, however begrudging. And I find it very funny that you are in primary. I just got called to primary too (though not the presidency, thankfully), and I can comiserate. I also think you should come visit me. TTFN!
Sarah: We are probably going to have to get a second car when Isaac starts a full time job, unless we are somewhere with a kick butt public transportation system...thus, the saving. No car buying plans in the immediate future, but we wanted to be ready, should the need arise.
Erin, I loved your update. I know you are a very busy woman and so we'll take what we can get when we get it and enjoy! By the by your blog page is very cool! hang in there babe, all is well. Love you lots!

I didn't know all of that. I wish I could live debt free... but for the next oh I don't know 10 maybe 15 years we will be in debt... and that does not count student loans. You could call more, or we could coordinate and meet somewhere and go camping or something Brian would like that...
Yes, I should call more...I just am really bad at phones...Kirby; I like the camping idea, we should figure something out. :-)
How about a visit to the Grand Canyon? I know you've been there a lot but we haven't. We could meet on the north rim....sometime in June before it gets totally hot.
Erin, I loved the update! Thank you so much. I am disturbed about your bird issues. You used to love birds!
