Busy as a bee

So many things happened this week. Enjoy the picture overload. I took myself to the Orem temple to do a session. It was fabulous. Took a long time to sit in the celestial room. Noticed one young adult man that had completely fallen asleep in there. I felt sorry for him for a little while, then changed my mind because he was probably having epic dreams. Didn't notice I somehow left my 'temple reading' glasses in the celestial room. They have them in the lost and found for when I have time to go back. 

I painted these cute flowers for the fun of it this week. I have frames for them, and I'm planning to use them in my new office at work. They aren't perfect, but I sure had a lot of fun making them. 

I made a loaf of sourdough this week. I wanted to try a new technique that I learned. You put a doily in your basket before tossing the sourdough in. Then, after an overnight proof in the over you take off the doily and bake the bread. It comes out with a really pretty design on it. So much fun!

On Monday I went down to the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds and helped with parking for the Fiesta Days Rodeo. They were super organized and I was impressed. We were only parking people for an 90 minutes. I could have stayed for the rodeo, but it didn't sound very fun, and it was kinda hot. 

I went to a beauty school in Provo and got a pedicure. It was a weird thing to do, and totally unlike me, but I enjoyed it. It only cost me $16. I received a 20% discount because they girl that was supposed to do it never showed up and it took 30 minutes for them to find someone else to help me. 

I went and helped hang out T-shirts and bibs for the 2026 Temple to Temple run on Wednesday and Thursday night. I got to work closely with the two men who decided to organize this event fourteen years ago. It was enjoyable to ask them questions about their favorite part of the race, and how they decided to start doing it. They both said their favorite part was when it's all over. 

I was up bright and early on Saturday so I could get in my 3 miles before my assignment to clean the church. I have a favorite job - vacuuming the chapel. It takes me about 40 minutes, and I always go a little early for the assignment so someone else doesn't take this job. I worked up quite the sweat since the A/C in the building wasn't on. 

I also worked on lots and lots of fair things this week. One of which was writing a list of things Craig needed to buy at Costco for our volunteers/Jr Fairboard. It's coming together and we are going to have a fantastic time. 

One last thing that made me happy this week. I took a few minutes to sit down and dust this rubber tree plant. It's been horribly dusty. I don't know why I procrastinated the job because it's looks fantastic. 

Next week - FAIR WEEK!
