We eat a lot of tuna sandwiches around.  We like them.  They have lots of good protein and they're not too messy.  Drawback: too smelly to eat around other people (i.e. at work).
Colin likes his tuna simple.  A can of tuna and a big spoonful of mayo mixed together, slathered between two pieces of white [...]

We had a very busy morning.  First, I went to our Stake Young Women leadership training at 8am, after dressing and feeding myself and the kids.  Colin worked through the night to get a project done so he wouldn't have to go to work this morning.  At our Stake Young Women leadership training, where the [...]

Mahjong is a waste of time, but a fun waste of time.  I recommend playing it until you win once, and then put it out of your head.  It took me 23 games to win once at about 10 minutes per game.  I'm closing the browser window now and plan to never look for the game [...]

Omelets
Colin wanted to make egg-salad [...]

The last couple of weeks I've been learning to crochet again.  I say "again" because my mom already taught me to crochet.  Probably several times.  She even learned to crochet left-handed so she could teach me the way that would be easiest for me to do and understand, saint that she is.  But this time [...]

Next week I'm teaching the Beehives on Sunday, and it's two lessons combined:"The Blessings of the Temple" and "Temple Marriage."  Combining the two lessons is going to be tough, but we need to keep up with the schedule and this week we did an Easter lesson. 
The objectives of the two lessons are that each [...]

I discovered this fascinating site called LDSReminderCalls.com and I don't know what to think.  It's a service where you (or your ward) pays $7-$30 per month, depending on the number of calls you have it make, to have their computer make reminder calls for you.  For example, it calls everyone who has a cannery assignment tomorrow, [...]
