We attended Virtual Stake Conference this morning. What will they think of next? The Credit Card Prank (and it's wacky sequel) that Mike pointed out are simply hilarious!

I like Mike's new blog for several reasons - it's more colorful, the frequency of updates gives me something new to read each day, and his sketches add another wonderful dimension. I've always wished I could draw, but since I can't I just try to write more to (hopefully) make up for the dire lack of any artistic input. If I could draw, however, I'd have tons of little doodles and sketches interspersed throughout my ramblings. It's the thought that counts, anyway, right?

My folks identified a new soda that I had to buy: Hansen's Diet Black Cherry soda - no caffeine, no carbs, no sugar, no calories, no sodium, no fat, no cholesterol, no preservatives, no coloring, no aspartame, and no artificial flavoring. Another wonderful tasting soda that uses sucralose (Splenda). Mmmmm.

You know, if sugar and carbs and fat and calories and [insert every other bad food component here] are so effective in causing weight gain in Americans, and considering the fact that there are starving people the world over, instead of donating rice, flour, and beans overseas, why aren't we shipping them butter, eggs, bacon, pancakes, pizza, chocolate, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, Pepsi, Goldfish, Cocoa Puffs, whole milk, etc.? That would fatten them up. Then instead of hearing about how 30% of Americans are obese, you'd finally hear about all those overweight Ethiopians. Sally Struthers would be out of a job, though, so it'll never happen. (Did you know that the Ethiopian calendar is 13 months long and is nearly 8 years behind our calendars? They had better start planning now for the Y2K bug!)

Becky tried some Spongebob SquarePants Wild Bubbleberry Pop-Tarts today, and then played some Pop-Tarts online games. Of course, I ended up being the one to waste time getting to level 100 and over 200,000 points on the chocolate chip cookie dough game.
