Salt water

I believe I was a teenager when someone talked me into putting salt on a slice of watermelon. "It will taste sweeter!" they said.

No. It tastes like salty watermelon.

Blech.

Internet quotes

So we just saw a quote attributed to Shakespeare that does not sound very much like the Shakespeare we know. (It is beautiful, though.)

Time is very slow for those who wait
Very fast for those who are scared
very long for those who lament
Very short for those who celebrate
But for those who love time is eternal.


There is a similar quote by Henry Van Dyke:

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.


Does anyone KNOW if that first quote is really by Shakespeare? I want a source for the quote. I actually like Van Dyke's better anyway, but that's beside the point. We just don't think that the first one sounds very Shakespearean.

The happy ending

So seeing how disappointed I was at missing my favorite (maybe - I've only seen it once and that was awhile ago now) musical, Morgan decided to spend the evening making me laugh. We watched a funny movie and then a series of YouTube videos by these guys:



If you just skipped watching it, shame on you. :) Less than three minutes and you'll laugh your head off. And never think of the dentist the same way again.

Then we looked at memes on Pinterest until way too late in the night and laughed a lot more.

Boy, I am grateful for Morgan.

Too late

Tragedy.

Okay, not actual tragedy, but something sad.

To me.

I saw "She Loves Me" my freshman or sophomore year at college. And I loved it. And I have always wanted to see it again.

Tonight, we passed a sign on the way to a meeting that said a local high school is putting it on. I got SO excited! On our way back from our meeting, we checked when it would be playing. Tonight. (We passed it too late.) Tomorrow night. (Stake Conference.) And Sunday.

Schumann and Zabriskie

Isn't this meme beautiful? In preparation for her book release, Ramona Zabriskie has created a special Facebook page and blog. Check it out!

Two things

I've been reading a lot of Christian marriage blogs lately. One of my favorites is The Generous Wife because she has great things to say and also great links. :) One of the links hit me today as I was trying to prioritize the many things on my to-do list. It's called "Do Two Things Well." It's really short. Check it out.

Schubert and Bell

Are there any words to describe this?



If you think of any, let me know.
