1. Whitney started taking art classes at the house of an artist in Pleasant Grove 3 weeks ago and she absolutely loves it! I don't know why I never thought to find lessons for her before, this was a total fluke thanks to a friend from church mentioning that her 5 year old son takes classes there. We were able to get in the first week (it goes the whole school year) so she didn't miss anything.
2. The first 2 weeks of art class found me trying to run errands during that hour, but that ended up being foolish and stressful because there was too much construction (#$@!) and traffic between 5-6pm. So this week I brought my book (Olive Kitteridge) and read and dozed in the car and the hour just flew by. I can't seem to stay awake while reading anymore, and it's got me wondering how I made it through college!
3. The sky was so beautiful last night that it made the atmosphere look orange. Landon actually came and got me from reading in the cozy so we could go outside and check it out. I'm glad he did!
4. I have been watching Season 1 of "Thirtysomething" on the computer and am absolutely loving it. It really deserves an entire post all its own because it is such a brilliant, insightful, pertinent show that I loved 20 years ago and am loving again now as a Thirtysomething myself.
5. Thanks to Thirtysomething and my blog contests I have been rather productive in the good mail department lately. This just makes me happy and hopefully will make some of you happy as well.
**Can you believe it's already September 18th?
Do you ever sit in the car and read?
Do you have a hard time staying awake when you read?
Have you ever seen the orange atmosphere?
Did you watch "Thirtysomething" back in the 80's?
Have you sent any good mail this week?**
Comment Window Tidbit: It's supposedly only 84 degrees today, but I feel like a sweaty hog, what's up with that?

I sit in my car and read quite frequently-car rider line, at practices, when I am too early for an appointment, etc. I never leave home without reading material. Of course my phone provides lots of entertainment like now while I am waiting to pick Carly up.
Are you looking for a new job?
I would like for someone to tell me how it could possibly be September 18th already. Seriously. And where I am, it's almost September 19th!
I love Whitney's drawing! She's a wonder. I'm so glad you found out about those art lessons.
I sometimes read in the car during Max's cello lesson. It's a good way to pass the time. I do, however, frequently fall asleep. I wonder how I managed all that reading in college, too.
Sorry about the resume pains. That would hurt me as well.
It is so fun to read your 'leave a comment' notes that you keep updating.
I'm never sure how to spend my incidental time like during lessons. Sometimes I run errands, but sometimes I aimlessly shop which is no good with all the paycuts Ken has experienced this year.
Amen! to thirtysomething.
I just signed up with Netflix today. I don't know why we waited so long.
I tend to fall asleep when reading esp if it's dark and I'm using my booklight. But I am 3/4 through Here Be Dragons!
In the car today I said to Harold,"Can you believe it? It's the 18th of September already. Where do those days go?" Couldn't believe your opening line-ha.
My son has been asking for art lessons. Would you mind emailing me the contact information? brianwendi@msn.com
Haven't ever seen 30something. Maybe I need to check it out.
REsume?? do tell!?
I DID send some good mail this week :) but not enough- I missed a birthday & I hate when I do that.
I used to watch 30 something! I'm gonna to try that out...
I do read in the car- it's great- I can't read in the cozy for sleep reasons.
This whole past year has flown by. Even after writing the date several times today- seeing Sept. 18th on your blog was shocking.
I have to keep checking my calendar because I am having a hard time with it being September, not to mention already the 18th.
I often go early to pick kiddos up from school so I can have a few minutes to read.
I keep craving cookies after seeing your banner!
My daughter would love art lessons too. I should check around.
September 18? Shut the what?
September 18? Shut the what?
It's been cooler than 84 here, and I came home this afternoon and was freakin ticked nobody left the balcony door open to keep a cross breeze going through all day. Ugh. Thankfully, it cooled quickly.
You say Sept 18th, and my mind races to the fact I NEED to buy the material for my kids costumes. *sighs* Why don't they make brown and white cow fabric? Why is it all black and white?
I might have watched Thirtysomething... but I wasn't even in school if I did. I was more into FraggleRock and Eureka's Castle.
I haven't sent any good mail this week. It's been a hectic and shoddy week.
1/3 of my family is out there in your wonderful warm weather- to go to the BYU game tomorrow. We're a little chilly here now!
Time is flying by, it'll be holiday time in a minute at this rate!
I can not read without falling asleep anymore. I can rarely sit still and not fall asleep.
My mom watched thirtysomething. I guess I wasn't interested, though I did watch from time to time. I bet it is really good.
Got my good mail from you today- THANK YOU!!!!
No, I'm a bit stunned the 18th is here already, too.
I do sit in the car and read. It's warm.
I do have a hard time staying awake when I read, especially in snoozer books.
Orange atmosphere. Hmmmmm. Only with the moon. It does sound beautiful, though.
I didn't want Thirty Something. Is it something you had to appreciate then to appreciate now?
Yes, I did send some good mail. I sent a box of breakfast items to our son because the mess hall doesn't open before he has to leave for church on Sundays.
I'm just not sure why 84 seems so hot on a fall day. Thwarted expectations? Again. Just not sure on that one.
I love Whitney's heart embellished car...that's great that she's taking art lessons...
I am totally blown away that it's already the middle of September...the beginning of the school year always flys by...wasn't the first day of fall the other day, too?
I remember watching ThirtySomething when I was 20 something and loving the show, but thinking that 30 something was a million years away...
Your good mail labels make me smile.
Yes, the time flying thing is freaking me out a little too. How does this happen?
i think one of those envelopes came to me. thanks.
thrity something. i remember that show.
jeff and i just rewatched arrested development. oh the joy of no commercials.
I LOVE thirtysomething. I took style tips from Melissa for years- I even wore one earring for a long time. I still cry when Gary dies.
Good luck with your resume. It's always ridiculously hard to keep it short.
