Web check-in - the coolest thing ever!

Web check-in has to be the coolest thing invented. CareNow has web check-in. Use to be if you needed to go to a CareNow instead of an emergency room at night or on weekends you could spend hours in the waiting room waiting for your turn! But with Web Check-in you wait until they call you and then you go over and within 15 minutes you are in a room with someone talking to you! I had a UTI (I know too much info) this afternoon and my family doctor closes early on Friday, so I went to CareNow's website and did the web check-in and waited for their call. And when you have UTI it is much more comfortable to wait in the comfort of your own home rather than in a waiting room, because there is nothing comfortable about a UTI.

On a lighter note. I substituted for Seminary 3 days this last week. Forgot I wasn't in the practice of getting up at 4:00 am anymore so that was a little bit harder than I remembered. But I really did enjoy it and it was fun to be with the teenagers of our Ward again!

Bad day....

I guess I'm due to have a bad day because I haven't had one in a long time! I think it was November with the Cranberry bread and the broken foot.....I seem to remember that. So like I said, I guess I'm just due. But I hope I don't have another day like today in a very long time!

Allison in Seattle!

Allison had a great time in Seattle! Here's some pictures. Can't wait for March to go out to Utah!

After the Oscars!

After the show I think tonight was one of the best Oscar shows I've seen in a long time. I was very excited for Kate Winslett...even though I can't go see either of her movies from 2008 before her win or now, but I think she is a great actress and I'm happy she was recognized.

I was extremely disappointed and worried when the first award, supporting actress role went to Penelope Cruz, whose movie is about a horrible horrible subject I thought we were doomed!

But I loved seeing the past winners come back and salute the nominees. I thought Hugh Jackman did a great job entertaining us. loved the musical numbers and thought the set was beautiful. I loved the short film mixes.

If Milk had to win they should have just said thank you instead of get on their soapbox (pun intended since I guess that's what he did in the movie)i had hoped we had learned in past years not to bring politics into the award but alas. I was surprised when the writer of Milk said he had been a Mormon from Texas before moving to California....

The biggest disappointment for me was that Brad Pitt didn't win..he is such a great actor and was amazing in the "Curios case of Benjamin Button" I thought he deserved to finally be nominated and win.

And thanks to my "a-may-zing wonder woman" for commenting on my previous post and making me feel like someone agreed with me!!!!!

The Oscars!

I am such a movie buff that I have always loved the Oscars! Almost couldn't wait to see which movies I had seen and loved were the ones to get picked. Now a days I still get excited over the hype and excitement of seeing my favorite movie stars all dressed up....but I hardly know any of the movies anymore! I think it is really sad when I will not be able to watch most of tonight's winners. Use to be that if I hadn't seen a movie that won, I would be sure to go and see it. Once again, these days there are usually very few that I can go and see afterwards! I long for a Hollywood that didn't want to show us "how it really is" and just wanted to give us good entertainment! But I still watch the Oscars and dream that some day I will be able to say again, that I saw that movie and I agree with that pick! As much as I love to go to the movies....I hardly can find one to go see anymore!
