today i decided to put my homemade salsa and some chopped up avacado on some pasta and you know, it was good! sometimes i amaze even myself. of course i also had a bowl of black bean soup. i don't know what i was thinking when i decided to double the recipe. this soup is going to last forever. and no, i do not want to freeze it. i just don't want to.

what did i used to think of to write about every day? i must be so out of practice because all that's coming to me is what i had for supper. well there's also the confrontations i had with bro. murley in institute today. i've had a pretty good run with brother murley this go around. i've had good classes where i felt uplifted and more importantly didn't feel rankled. and today i was just asking a simple question, but he wasn't listening and went to answer a totally different thing in which he said the nephites weren't of the tribe of judah and i said yes they were. i said they were joseph and judah (judah thanks to the mulekites) and he said no they weren't they were israelites like i didn't know the difference between israelite and jew. and we went back and forth until i pointed out that he had just read a quote saying that the nephites were made up of the tribes of joseph (it put ephriam and manassah together) and judah, and he said no it said they weren't jewish, which indeed it did NOT say. finally loren came to my rescue and said that it did say that and then bro. murley just brushed the whole thing off and said that wasn't what we were talking about in class. after class i handed in attendance and appologized and told him my question. he then went into a spiel that had nothing to do with it and i said "ya, i know that what i wanted to know was...." then he said something else unrelated and i said "ya what i wondered was this..." and he finally actually LISTENED to my question and answered it and it was very simple. boy oh boy, what is it with men and their listening problems? i mean he did hear one word and that's what he seemed to go on. meanwhile i was all in turmoil feeling bad for having a show down in class. plus everyone else thought that i must be wrong because i was arguing with the teacher. they kept piping up in the back ground. oh well, it wasn't my intention to be argumentative.

it was nice to drive to work today with the rising sun shinning down on me as i crossed the river and to have it still out when i got home. this all means one thing: spring is coming! oh yes it is. yes yes it is. spring. it's around the corner.
