James and Alex left early this morning for the valley, so that left me home alone.  During my gospel study I found this quote about patience by Elder Neal A. Maxwell:
"If our patience is being tried, we might expect that our faith is also being tried; if or capacity for patience is increasing, we might also expect that our faith is increasing.  In the eternal scheme of things, we cannot become as God without having developed the ability to demonstrate infinite patience with perfect faith.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise that God would give us multiple opportunities to gain invaluable experience with patience and faith."  The law of the harvest is this: whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap.  Between sowing and reaping lies enduring with patience.
I watched an episode of "The Mentalist" from the new season.  I did some laundry and  started to clean the wood floor but realized I needed some more Swifer pads so I got ready to go in to town. My gauge showed I could go around 30 miles.  I knew it was going to be close but I thought I could make it when I first started out.  I got about three or four miles down the highway and I just had the feeling I needed to go back to the Vernon gas station and get a little gas.  When I got there the attendant told me they were still out of gas.  Well by this time I knew I would be cutting it way to close to get into town so I went back home.  I called James and asked him to bring home some gas.  Not only did he bring gas but he also brought me a green chili burro!  James said Alex went with him and worked all day at Yoshimine's with him.  The money he earned will go towards buying some new fishing flies.

Before James got home I watched Project Runway and Cupcake Wars because I know James does not like either one of these shows.

We are down to the top ten on So You Think You Can Dance and I am glad to say that both of my Utah girls, Witney and Lindsey made it.  This week was Mia Michaels week.  It was fun to be reminded of all the cool dances Mia has choreographed but I am not sure I like remakes.  Napoleon and Tabitha had a baby boy since the last session.  They named him London.  I wonder if that was because he was born during the London Olympics. 
Instead of listening to music during my walk this morning I decided to listen to General Conference talks.  I feel like I am multitasking and enjoyed the spiritual upliftment.
I started using the shakes I got from Drea Monday night.  I have one in the morning, and one at night in place of breakfast and dinner.  So far I have lost 3 lbs.  My goal is 30 lbs. by Thanksgiving.

We had to make another trip to town today.  This time we deposited some money from our National Bank account into the Lambson Construction account. While I was picking up some things at Walmart I got a call from our Young Women's President.  We were scheduled to have a presidency meeting at 3pm but she cancelled.  She said she had a tooth pulled on Monday and it was still bothering her.  She also said she would be gone on Sunday and asked if I would give the lesson.  I was actually excited because the lesson is on scripture study, one of my favorite topics.

So far I have had the orange julius shake and the snickerdoodle.  They are both very tasty.  I watched Project Runway while James did something in the bedroom.  Raoul went home again.  I am so glad.  He cannot sew or design and he looks like Eddie Munster.
