There are 3 Jobs Available to Elves

They can either make shoes at night while the cobbler is sleeping, make cookies in a tree (which is dangerous during the hot season), or make toys. I'm going to focus on the awesomeness that is now being made by the elves that make cookies in a tree. John and I went to the store last week and wandered down the cookie/candy/everything you want to put in your cart but shouldn't aisle and saw these:



Those Elves have done it again. They taste almost exactly like our favorite Samoas that we hoard when the Girl Scouts are selling them in March.

Beware of "frightful" speeds.

Recently, one of my professors shared with us the following quote in regard to the advancements of the 19th century in both England and the US.

“You are welcome to use the school room to debate all proper questions in, but such things as railroads and telegraphs are impossibilities and rank infidelity. There is nothing in the Word of God about them. If God had designated that His intelligent creatures should travel at the frightful speed of 15 miles and hour, He would have foretold it through His holy prophets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls down to Hell.” — President Martin Van Buren, 1830 in Ohio

Today I went 4 times the "frightful" speed that Presiden Van Buren referred to. Disgusting.

After Wednesday, It's All Downhill!


Starting tomorrow and every Wednesday thereafter (indefinitely), Downtown Provo has started what they decided to call the Hump Day Market. I will be selling my things along with my friend Annie. Come visit us. I have no clue what else will be there, other than lots of food, music, and hopefully some awesome things to buy. See you all tomorrow!!
