For the last day or so, Becky's been sick with a slight fever and a runny nose. We taught her to wipe her own nose with toilet paper, so now whenever it's runny or she sneezes, she says "Becky Paper Nose", which means she needs some toilet paper for her nose. I thought it sounded like a good Indian name, myself. Anyway, it's cute to hear her say it. Email upgrade at work this last week was a pain in the tush. Had a bunch of problems with some mailboxes, user accounts/logins, etc. - don't want to go through that again anytime soon! (We migrated from Exchange 5.5 Enterprise Edition to Exchange 2000 Standard Edition - a feat that Microsoft said couldn't be done at all (because it's downgrading, and the installation program prevents you from installing it if it sees a previous 'higher' version). We count ourselves as successful, because even though we experienced a few glitches, as no one lost any data, and it sure beat redoing the whole thing from scratch.)

Becca got a cute book from cousin Marilynn for her birthday, entitled "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". She likes to look at the pictures and point out all the objects she recognizes. It's cute to watch her carry the book around with her saying "Mouse! Mouse!" and pointing to the mouse on the cover.   =)

I just finished another audiobook, "The Presence" by John Saul. Pretty good sci-fi mystery. The new sister at church, Tiana Hulse, accompanied by Emily Giles, sang a wonderful song in Sacrament meeting yesterday - it sounded just like a professional recording. My Metrocall pager is weird, it eats through batteries like crazy. Each AAA battery lasts for only a couple of weeks. Most other pagers seem to save their batteries for months, from what I understand. Very strange.
