Just reviewed Superfreakonomics @ Goodreads!

Read the review SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes And Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance by Steven D. Levitt

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book is just as good as the first Freakonomics. I love how the authors can make sense of real world issue through economics. Who would think that I would actually have thought that quitting my job and becoming a prostitute would have its benefits. I also think the part about global cooling and there are many cheap options out there to fix the problems of global warming was fantastic. I have always been a skeptic of the idea of global warming and how we are doomed! Great read!

Sassy Sunday.

Today, I spent a lot of time preparing my lesson for Relief Society on Pride. Read it HERE. It is a great talk that really reminds us that we should spend a lot less time worrying about ourselves and offer our service to others. I enjoyed learning about this topic and the discussion in my class was very good.

After church, I headed up to Layton and hung with Morgan and Derek and the boys. You can read about their adventures HERE. We had dinner and played. I sure do love those little boys. I found some really cute Batman PJs for Spencer for only $3.50. What a smashing deal. Henry was a little sad that he did not get any. I felt bad but I also did buy him and Oliver some finger puppets. They liked them.

Now, it is time for bed and to say goodbye to another weekend. It went way too fast, but it was a very enjoyable few days!

Super Saturday

Aiden and I played a little UNO in the morning as well as Guitar Hero. It is kinda interesting to try to teach an 8 year old how to play Guitar Hero. He did get the hang of it and we eventually rocked Michael Jackson's Beat It!

I then took him to McDonald's for lunch. I had a Shamrock Shake. Not sure if it was worth the 11 Weight Watchers Point Plus Values, but it was okay and needed to be drank. I have to have at least one a day.

Later, I met up with my other Dad, Josh the other brother, and Isaac the brother-in-law at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and was able to do some baptisms for the dead for some of my deceased ancestors. It really was a spiritual experience and I feel so honored to have done this work. To learn more about baptisms for the dead, click HERE. And another link about temples is HERE!

After being in the temple, we met up with Erin and Anne and had dinner at Su Casa and then ate yogurt at Frogurt. It was fabulous and I have been eating way to much lately.

Fries Friday.

Burger Friday at Red Robin was fabulous. The small fry who stayed at my house was  very entertaining. We watched a movie. Okay, Aiden watched a movie. I fell asleep! It was fun to have him! He loved sleeping in my tent in my front room. Yay for sleepovers!

Thoughtless Thursday

You can just call me Sue, from Glee! Thursday was dress as your future career day as part of our career week at school. I think I look quite professional in my new workout suits!

The other pic has to do with the milk I bought my Leadership class for the Valentines extravaganza. Well, to save it from the faculty room beast, who often eats other people's food, I wrote all over the jug. My favorite bit was "Do not drink, Poison!" Anyway, I declared it not poison this week and a few of my co-workers have been drinking it. My favorite thing is that they kind of have had the competition where one person feels the others need more milk and keep sneaking in refills, even when the person drinking doesn't want anymore. It makes me laugh. Another thing that makes me laugh from the lunchroom is the idea that a co-worker came up with. He thinks that all of our drains should be connected to Africa. That way, when we dispose of food down the drain, we will be helping the world hunger problem. Another co-worker said that they would use their disposal to make baby food for African babies. They make me laugh!

It helps the days go by pleasantly to work with funny people! Love it!!
