Double Tagged

Okay, since I've been tagged twice, I guess I had better do this. Here's how to play this game:
Post the rules on your blog. List 2 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, and 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Joys: Children, grandchildren, wonderful friends

Fears: Getting cancer, going blind, dying (Sorry, Alison, I must have passed these fears on to you)

Goals: Being more relaxed in my calling (I get totally stressed giving lessons, and thinking about
all the things this calling entails.)
Get more excited about scrapbooking
Learn to knit socks
Lose about 35 pounds
Clean the house and get rid of a lot of clutter (Okay, I know this is 5 goals, but all are
important)

Current obsessions/collections: Knitting, really nice yarn (I love how soft it feels), losing
weight

Random surprising facts: I don't think this is very surprising, but I have a wicked temper (it's
apt to erupt at any time, especially when I'm driving). Fortunately,
I get over it quickly
Tendency to make snap decisions especially when I'm upset
I really don't like cooking meals (I enjoy baking or making just one
something, but I hate having to get a whole meal together and trying
to have everything at the right temperature at the same time ready
to dish up by a certain time--kind of stressful)

Okay, I tag Leesa and Amy (makes 3 times for her) and since Marni and Alison have already done this, that is all I can tag as this is everyone that reads my blog.

Updates

As most of you know, I am second counselor in Young Women's Organization and our activity for last Wednesday night was a pampering session at our young women's activity night. We went to Battle Creek to our YW president's beauty college and the yw had haircuts and the moms had facials and pedicures. Kayleigh got her hair cut nice and short and really likes it. We were also fed chocolate covered strawberries, cake, crackers and cheese, sandwiches, and punch. As you can see from the above photo, Kayleigh really loved the chocolate covered strawberries.

Next update: As you notice, I now have photos on this blog thanks to my wonderful children who all got together and gave me a digital camera for Mothers Day. Thanks to Timothy, he is giving me instructions on how to get the photos in the computer and then onto this blog (I'm sure that will be a long term process as I'm not very computer savvy). I had a wonderful Mother's Day and even though I didn't get a nap, I didn't have to cook--that was taken care of by Jonathan and Timothy and Kalen. We all went to Amy and Kalen's for dinner and a fun evening.
As you can see, the guys did a great job with our Mothers Day dinner--everyone enjoyed it very much so thanks to all for a wonderful day!

Random thoughts

Well, here I am again. Nothing too noteworthy this week except (drum roll please) the wonderful email I got from Andrew with a photo of Lilly in a very cute t-shirt that announced the forthcoming arrival of a new brother or sister for her! Hooray for grandchildren!!
The rest of the week has gone pretty much as usual except knitting group was here at the house today instead of in Marshall and speaking of knitting, I was just reading Alison's blog about scrapbooking. I read the comments about how everyone loves the digital scrapbooking and that does sound interesting and time saving, but I wonder if you're not missing a lot doing it digitally.
Part of the joy of knitting, for me, is not just creating something but the pleasure I get out of feeling the softness of the yarn and the smoothness of really nice rosewood knitting needles (a great Christmas present from Alison.) It is very much a sensory thing and I'm wondering if it's not the same with scrapbooking (I'm not much of a scrapbooker yet), but I would think a good part of the joy of scrapbooking is in all the little details and the "doing" of it, choosing the papers and embellishments, the cutting and pasting, feeling all the textures, etc. Maybe I'm wrong. I guess what I'm asking all you scrapbookers is: Is the joy in the finished project or in the doing of the project? Would love to hear your comments on this or any other craft projects you enjoy.
I may actually get to post a photo or two on here this weekend. I found out that Timothy has a digital camera, so he's agreed to take a few photos for me when he's off work and help me post them, so stay tuned...
