The Crucible (1996) John Proctor's Choice of Truth by 7thArt

Words with Friends

My father in law and I have become involved in a heated competition of Words with Friends. It' actually been a great little thing that my father in law and I can do together. If you need a little in-law bonding, I suggest a random app game to bring you together...or farther apart...I guess it depends on how competitive you are.

Covers

One thing I really love about You Tube is new music artists. I really like acoustic covers of old or even new songs and I feel like I find great new covers every week. So in honor of my music cover obsession. Here is my find of the week.
Crazy In Love, Beyonce Cover by: Daniela Andrade

facebook and church

I was just called into one of my dream callings as a Laurel Advisor. I love it already! One thing that I wanted to make sure when I was called is that I learned the girls names fast and got to know them as soon as possible. Before facebook or as I endearingly call it, Facespace, this would've just been on Sunday and mutual night. However, I live in the age of the glorious "get to know you" device that is Facebook. Because of our Ward Young Women group, and their profiles, I got to know a little bit about all 13 of them in just a week! thank you Facespace, thank you

Sorry I can't teach today, my Ipad died

I love the access technology gives us to resources that we otherwise wouldn't have. Just on my little ipad mini I have access to every manual, general conference, hymn, and so many other resources. It's so helpful to be able to use these resources when teaching. You can take them with you and really use a lot of media based things like videos and images to make a lesson more entertaining and interactive. The only problem is battery power. As I was creating my lesson from Young Womens this week, I thought, I'm just going to leave my lesson plan on my ipad and use that. Now that I'm a day away from my lesson I CANNOT do it! I have to have a hard copy. It's not that I don't trust my ipad.....but I don't trust my ipad. 

Christmas? Is That YOU?

I ALWAYS try to resist Christmas until Thanksgiving. I always tell myself there is no way I will get into Christmas before then. and then BAM someone turns on Harry Connick Jr's Christmas Album and it's OVER. More than anything that gets me in the holiday spirit it's the music! (well...and the snow of course) It's the most amazing thing how music brings such a feeling to you. So many good memories are associated with Christmas Music! I'm just a big fan of Christmas, and I am shamelessly celebrating before thanksgiving.

Halloween Media

This Halloween my husband and I decided to through a murder mystery party. We bought just a simple box set murder mystery on Amazon. It came with booklets for each character, invitations, and a CD that you listen to at certain parts of the game. I think this kind of thing is the perfect form of media. It was fun and entertaining, but it also forced as to be social and active all night. It used just the right amount of media without consuming the evening with staring at a screen.

I highly recommend it.

p.s. ignore the fake cigarettes, some things are just necessary for character development.
