27 February - 6 March, 2011
As always, not in any particular order.

#1  For the first time this year (2011) we have 2 working, legal cars at our house.  Whoo Hoo.  (Thanks P.K. Auto.)

#2  I had a great day on Tuesday.  Felt great!

#3  My family WAS happy that our basketball team was #3 in the national polls.  (Happy family makes me happy.)  Unfortunately, we are now ...#8.

#4  One day last week I had 150 hits on my blog.  That is my most hits in a day since I have kept track. :)

#5  I went to book club on Thursday.  It was great to be back.  I love book club.

#6  I had a great MARCH FORTH.  Got lots of little things done, and got a lot done in Lincoln's room/Grand kid's/playroom.

#7  On Friday Emily asked if she could take me to lunch.  Of course she picked the only restaurant that would get me out of the house.  I love "RIB CITY" in American Fork.  Their ribs are wonderful.  The owner is on sight to great guests.  I had seen her share a recipe on GOOD THINGS UTAH for Cuban Style Pulled Pork Sandwich.  It looked so good that I decided I would get one to go :)  It turned out that it is not on their menu, but she brought me some of each of the meats to try. mmmmm   

THEN, Emily went to the A.F.D.I. (Thrift store in American Fork) and said she would read in the car while I treasure hunted.  Since I still can not drive, this was a perfect day!  Thank-you, Emily.

#8  I have been pretty darn mad at my local newspaper.  They no longer run the 2 medical columns that I like.  They don't have the local television and movie columnists that I like.  And finally the big one.  They got rid of my favourite columnist, Ann Cannon.  (Some of my favourite columns of hers are the Diet Dr. Pepper and slippers at church, and the family reunion.  But there are many more.)  And I do not like the replacement.  The new column(s) are by authors/speakers that I am suffering overload from them. 

Then I heard Ann was writing for another local paper, now.  I BLINGOED her, and found her blog.  Yea!  I can keep reading her wonderful everyday life stories.  (Made me happy :)

Then as I read I learned that she was not terminated.  She was just making changes.  (Made me happy :)

#9  I had lots of fun making my "X marks the spot" and playing with it with Logan.  Yes, We had real treasure.

#10  LES MISERABLES!  The new one.  IT WAS WONDERFUL.  We watched it Saturday night on PBS.  It was so good, that realizing I have no LES MIS DVD, I went to Amazon to buy it.  As I read the reviews, I realized there was a weak spot, so I waited until I had seen it all.  Still thinking about the purchase.  But, this 25th Anniversary  Concert does have some amazing performances.  Besides some quality performances, the sound quality is great.  And the special lighting effects are a very well done surprise.  And some wonderful bonus features.  (Four Jean  Valjeans from different well known companies/eras singing together.  Ah!) 

A side note - I am getting rid of my old videos, and replacing some with DVDs.  So I watched "The Man With One Red Shoe" (1985).  I remember liking it.   Turns out the much funnier movie with the same plot was 1997s "The Man Who Knew Too Little".  SO FUNNY.  I already have that one on DVD.  (And strong PG-13)
