Monday menagerie

I saw a guy on the freeway eating something with chop sticks. Seriously? Who can eat with a regular utensil, like a fork, let alone chop sticks, while driving?

Friday I bought up a dress that was regularly priced at $88 for only $21!

I've been experimenting with banana bread recipes lately; I only like bananas that are green or pale yellow, so I end up with a lot of really ripe bananas perfect for bread making!
****
I love reading autobiographies--I'm loving I Married Adventure by Osa Johnson. I think I have the only copy of it in the SL County library system, so when I return it, I highly suggest someone checks it out!
****
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was a great book! I just love the idea of people meeting over written communication and then falling in love in person (why hasn't this worked for me yet?!!)
****
I am working on an article for the Ensign about the importance of literacy in keeping a religious society going. I doubt they'll publish it, but I'm going to send it in anyways!
****
I am embarrassed to say that I want to see "New Moon" to see if the adaptation is better than "Twilight" was.
****
I still get a secret pleasure out of USC football being ranked below the top 5.
****
My friends and I are going to the BYU-Air Force football game in a couple weeks and I'm excited to wear Cougar blue at the stadium again.
****
Now that I have a Master's degree, I'm contemplating trying to get a part-time job as adjunct faculty at the community college, at the BYU Salt Lake extension or at the U of U.
****
I've been checking flight prices to Rome, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Geneva for next summer (currently at about $1400-- so I'm going to wait to buy a ticket).
****
It's pathetic but I haven't spoken to my grandmother since July.

In Taekwon Do, sometimes we have to do cartwheels. I, however, put my hands on the floor and sort of hop sideways, stand up, walk a couple of steps and do it again; I have never in my life been able to do a cartwheel or handstand.
