1. With four minutes left in the BYU game this past Friday, I was cursing the day JJ DiLuigi was born. Is there a reason BYU can't hang on to the ball to save their lives?! I mean, REALLY!
2. However, I, along with the rest of Cougar Nation was pleased with the play of Riley Nelson. If Jake Heaps starts the next game, I'm going to be writing a nasty letter to Bronco Mendenhall demanding the change. Not that I'll have to...I'm pretty sure the fans at the stadium will take care of it for me.
3. And, yes, I know that the game was won with only eleven seconds on the clock and that it was basically a miracle that BYU actually scored in the red zone, but whose idea was it to rush the field? It was a win against a 1-2 Utah State team for heaven sake. I mean, I guess it's better than rushing the field at the end of a game against Idaho State, but still. It made BYU fans everywhere look desperate and pathetic. Which, in all fairness, we are, but no one else needs to know that.
4. Husband's team, however, was unable to come up with a win. They were leading by 18 at the half and managed to lose by a touchdown. I'm not even going to tell you what Husband called them.
5. I loved General Conference. I'm still catching up on the Saturday sessions. My favorite talk was Elder Eyring's. Mostly because I can't see Elder Eyring without thinking about my dad - I think they look alike. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.
6. I've been wanting to attempt to make ribs for a while now, but have always been thoroughly intimidated. However, Husband found a doable recipe and we threw some in the oven yesterday morning. I thought they turned out well, despite the fact that we used spare ribs instead of baby backs. The meat actually fell off the bone. The BBQ sauce recipe that went with it was a miserable failure.
7. After an entire week of a stomach virus going around our house, we all seem to be back to normal this morning. Husband wins the award for Best Vomiter. Carolyn wins the award for most diapers used in a 48-hour period. Not that Husband or I wear diapers, but maybe we should start.
8. I was going to start my new exercise program this morning, thanks to the great weather outside, but couldn't because I can't find my bloody iPod. I've been looking for it for like three months. I'm sure Carolyn has squirreled it away somewhere - probably in the cupboard with the pots - and we'll find it sometime next winter.
9. I bought some lemon and orange essential oils over the weekend. I'm totally going to huff them later on today.
10. We received our final denial for Medicaid coverage last week. ALL of us were denied. It boils down to the fact that we own our cars. Or, I should say "car" because my car is so old, apparently it's not even on the "worth something" graph. Never mind that we make less than HALF of the set maximum income for approval. Looks like the only way we'll get help is to commit fraud. And, I'm not going to lie, I've already started thinking about which version of fraud I'm most comfortable with.
11. I'm in desperate need of a hairstyle intervention.

I understand the hairstyle intervention. I was ready to shave it off and start over but luckily went into the salon and said, "Please! I need easy!" Now it's short, sassy, and takes less than 10 minutes to fix. I even look great when I wake up in the morning...which for a woman with super curly hair NEVER has happened before in life. BE BOLD! Chop it off!!
