So last night I dreamnt I was taking a walk down the southbound freeway entrance onto University Parkway. The former first lady of Utah, Mary Kaye Huntsmen walked passed me. As soon as she was in front of me, she got hit by a magic spell and was turned into a really cute little pig. I picked her up to bring her home and hoped that no one would butcher her when she got older.
In real life, I have seen MKH once, walking in a parade with her very photogenic family. It was on Center Street, though, and she definitely was not hit with a magic spell or turned into any farm animal.
By the way, you will find some fairly disturbing pictures if you enter "piglet" into Google's image search.
Goose and I made brownies today. Earlier she had been scribbling with markers and then came into my bedroom with a folded piece of paper, saying, "Look, I made a recipe for brownies!" (Or, because it is Goose, "Wook! I made a wecipe fow bwownies!") So this afternoon we got everything out and baked the brownies according to her recipe (and the one in my head). She continues to be demanding of attention but she is so cute and fun lately. She loves to play Candyland and she came with Husband and me to the library, so excited whenever she saw a book she was familiar with.
My only news is that I'm doing part time work for my dad and Uncle Reed's IPPFBE endeavor. Husband designed their website a couple of years ago, and my dad wanted me to help update the site and work on a newsletter. Their goal is to produce superior trees and other perennial plants that will flourish in regions that have poor conditions for traditional grain crops. They also want to explore using nuts for bioenergy and transforming trees at the end of their lifespan to biochar. It's a very worthwhile project; I hope I can be helpful. We're trying to think of my title still, so I can put it on my emails that I'm sending out.
