Published again - how to make money off this?

So, I really am a good writer, just not on the blog. However, today my third (I think) letter to the editor appeared in the Des News. I have previously written about Tom Green the polygamist, American Idol, and now in response to some guy that blamed the LDS church for a high divorce rate. I guess he is correct to some extent because in order to get divorced you must first marry.
I'll try and put a link or something up so you can read it. Maybe in my next career I'll find a way to make money off writing. http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695237748,00.html

Don't use the tow rope at Alta for children

This was Tim and Owen at Alta today. It was a balmy 1*. Trying to hold Owen as we ventured up and down the tow rope was horrible. Once we got to the hill, it was great. But we should have just taken him to the top of the mountain. We did enjoy some blueberry yogurt for breakfast afterwards. Owen insisted on wearing my goggles. At the top of the hill he asked, "Katie, can't we just sled down?" As much as I would have liked to, we couldn't. The problem with the tow rope is the torque - it just about rips your arm off as you try and grab it. Another problem using the tow rope is if Owen's ski's get under yours, you suddenly find yourself doing the Chinese splits! Don't worry, I was able to fall and gain control. All in all, Tim spent a day with us and we had a great time - even Owen thinks so!

Happy Hanukkah!

Ok, so this picture doesn't really do it justice, but I'll try and get a better picture up. It's my Mickey Mouse Menorah. I think the more orthodox Jews find character Menorah's slightly sacreligious, but it was reasonably priced online so I bought it a few years ago. Tuesday is the last day of Hanukkah. I love to celebrate this holiday especially when it coincides with my birthday. I feel like it gives me 8 nights of Han. and one day of birthday. So, בָּרוּךְ אַתָה יהוה אֶלוֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הַעוֹלָם שֵהֵחְיָנוּ וְקִיְימָנוּ וְהִגִעָנוּ לַזְמַן הַזֶה

Thank you for calling on my birthday

I'd like to give a shout out to the 35 people that called me on my birthday. Your diligence will be noted and rewarded at a later date. Tim gave me an exquisite necklace - I'll put a picture up later. And I attended class. Merry Christmas!

It's my birthday!

Hey y'all. Not much going on here in Bountiful town. Had a great weekend in LA/San Diego with the fam, aside from the torential rain! Check out Dallas' blog for pictures. As usual, I can't think of anything I want for my birthday, so just give me a call. Really - call me on or during my birthday month (that gives you all of December to help me celebrate).
Jewel is making the Commuter Rail cake and I finished typing a paper, so I'm off to the cake makers!
Pictures to follow.
