This recipe looks super yummy for summer. We always throw out part of the watermelon because it never gets eaten so these are great.

The answer to my grammar confusions

I never was 100% sure on how to write the plural form of Davis.  I finally realized I could look it up today on the internet.  When a last name ends in a "z" or a "s," you add an -es to pluralize it.  I previously thought by putting an apostrophe at the end could not only signify the possessive form but also pluralize.  Now I can no longer embarass myself.  Here's a nifty website to use as a reference:

How can I be

Induction

Today was a fantastic day. My OB told me she was planning on inducing me on April 9th. That is a week before my due date.....and although I really think a baby should come when it is good and ready.....my feelings have changed for selfish purposes only. Of course my doctor has valid concerns for my kidneys due to the hydronephrosis but they haven't been bothering me so we just won't mention it. At any rate, as for readiness in being responsible for three children is entirely an overwhelming proposition for me but there's no turning back now. And no....we still don't have any names picked out. People are always shocked when I tell them this....as if we really had 9 months to think about it....come on.

People watching at Walmart

Today was the day I paid a sitter while I ran errands. I always thought I'd be too cheap to do so but I luckily I am a woman who has come to her senses. While I was at Walmart in line by the auto center (Got an oil change...which by the way have gone up to $30!!!) I actually witnessed a man who requested to only buy tire insurance for one of his four tires he was purchasing. Being one who is lacking the ability to keep her thoughts and feeling far from her sleeve, I burst out laughing. The other 5 people in line turned around to see what I was laughing at to which I replied, "are you seriously only going to do that for one tire?? What kind of driving do you do??" I am not certain as to why the others found no humor in the situation but I thought it was hilarious. And yes, the guy was serious. His reply was, "well...it's worth a gamble isn't it?"

I have found in my experience shopping at Walmart that it is a magnet for rather interesting people. I know this may sound strange but shopping at Target is not nearly exciting as Walmart. People who shop at Target are totally boring. So if you're ever in the mood for humor visit your local Walmart with a new set of eyes and just enjoy:) I also remember as a kid staying in the car while my Mom shopped for groceries.....that too was an enjoyable people watching experience. Of course I always had a list of question in my head for each individual as I made my assumptions about them. Where else do you find good people watching?

Quote from Ezra Taft Benson

"I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of oursociety. It is more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and morepowerfully promoted than ever before. Secret combinations lusting forpower, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeksto overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries isincreasing its evil influence and control over America and the entireworld. "I testify that as the forces of evil increase under Lucifer'sleadership and as the forces of good increase under the leadership ofJesus Christ, there will be growing battles between the two until thefinal confrontation. As the issues become clearer and more obvious, allmankind will eventually be required to align themselves either for thekingdom of God or for the kingdom of the devil. As these conflicts rage,either secretly or openly, the righteous will be tested. God's wrathwill soon shake the nations of the earth and will be poured out on thewicked without measure. But God will provide strength for the righteousand the means of escape; and eventually and finally truth will triumph. "I testify that it is time for every man to put in order his own houseboth temporally and spiritually. It is time for the unbeliever to learnfor himself that this work is true...to walk in all the ways of theLord, to use our influence to make popular that which is sound and tomake unpopular that which is unsound. We have the scriptures, theprophets, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Now we need eyes that willsee, ears that will hear, and hearts that will hearken to God'sdirection." President Ezra T. Benson “I Testify” October 1988
