7 degrees of separation in blogging

On Friday night I decided to try a little experiment. The kids were all in bed and I was blogging. It has been fun to see other peoples blogs and what their interests are. I usually don't read the whole thing, just the profile and the side stuff. Some people post their friends and family's links on the side bar so I thought I would try to see how many clicks it would take to find someone I know through random peoples blogs. I don't remember who I started with, someone I already know. I would randomly click on a link and then go from there. Sometimes I would keep going back to one person's list and hit different people. I lost count but eventually it happened! I found someone I know in Texas. I found the Hopewell's from our old ward. Josh was our home teacher. How fun is that. It was a waste of time, I know, but fun to do. So all of you who post other peoples links on their blogs, Thanks! it was a fun game for me!

Bad Computer

So I have Matt's Mac since my computer keeps crashing and I don't know how to work it. I don't have access to my pics so I can't post them. I don't know how to download pics from the iphone to the computer. I am pretty much stuck. Just picture in your minds...it's a beautiful fall day in Utah, the Burton children are as crazy as ever, Shane finally got a birthday party with his classmates(hopefully, we will have pictures someday), Matt and the kids went to Bentley's third birthday party and had a good time, and the kids are making some really cute faces. You should see it. Oh wait, I don't know how to post with this computer. I know Macs are supposed to be super easy and better, but for someone like me...not so good. I can't even right click. How do you do that? It would be nice if my computer literate husband worked in the same state that his family lives so he could help out with this. Oh well... just get those imaginations working.

Go BYU!

Did you see that score? 59 to ZERO!!! What a blowout! Rise and Shout, the cougars are out!

One week down!

I did it! I finished my first week of college. It started last Tuesday...I needed to get there a little early because I needed to pick up one more book for a class. As I was paying for it, the cashier asked if I was faculty (Faculty gets a discount). I had to tell her no, I am undergrad trying to get a degree. So I head off to my first class. I sit down and recognize this kid that is sitting next to me. I ponder the whole hour while I try to figure out who he is. At the end of class, I talked to him and found out that he is the kid from our ward in Texas but he does not remember me. Not a surprise since he was probably a deacon and I was friends with his MOM! So I sit in class, not faculty and attending with my friend's kid! Did I mention that I am exactly TWICE as old as the new freshmen? I started college exactly half a lifetime ago for me. Just a perspective that makes me laugh. I am hoping to finally get a degree by the time I turn 40. Hopefully sooner. Go BYU!
