I normally don't post about all the giveaways that seem to be happening in cyberspace these days but I really want this fabric! My friend Sandra's sister has a fabric business and is doing a Valentine's giveaway!. Check it out here
Tonight as I was flipping through the new "Deseret Books" catalogue that came in the mail, I noticed a book that caught my attention and I laughed out loud! It is called "Keep Texting From Taking Over" The summary is this: Texting is fun, fast, and easy. but if you are not careful, it can take over your life! Favorite youth speaker Brad Wilcox and his son, Russell Wilcox, emphasize the importance of heeding the Holy Ghost, meditating on spiritual things, and not being consumed with texting 24/7. Parents, leaders, and teenager will benefit from this fireside presentation that advocates how to use this tool more wisely."
It is incredible that he even had to write a book about it, that just shows what a problem it has become, and it is funny what a different world it is now than even I grew up in. I guess you could also write a similar book about facebook. It seems like so many online things (even blog reading if you jump around too aimlessly!) are consuming peoples lives and they are leaving out the more important things. I just couldn't believe it when I saw that so I had to share!

Hi Laura,

Oooh...I'll have to check this giveaway out. You know how I feel about a good giveaway!
Anyway, I'm glad I don't even really know how to text. Actually I'm glad Hailey broke my phone so I can't see the screen anymore - which means I can't learn how to text. And I'm glad that I suck at Facebok. I'm keeping my distractions to a minimum by just blogging. A few hours a day isn't that bad right?? Kidding.
Oh and I just have to add because this made me laugh. THe word verification for my last comment was "greatbum". Well thank you!
