This week has been crazy! Some of the highlights were parent night at Timpview HS! The T-Birds have not lost a game yet, and after one final game, will be headed to the state play-offs. They have won 10 state championships in a row, starting in 2004 and I hope that they continue the trend for at least one more year! But my highlight was getting the flower from the coaches and having my son with me.
I had a walking date with a friend of mine who I've been wanting to get to know better for quite awhile. She is so amazing! She has a Brazilian resteraunt at the South Towne Mall. I haven't tried it yet, but I know it's good because she is a wonderful cook! We talked, laughed and had a great time. I'm looking forward to trying it and coming back to tell you about it.
I
like to take a break from the regular routine on Sundays, including my
blog. It gives me a
chance to clear my head, re-set priorities and appreciate the many
blessings I've been given. I go to church, I reflect, and I try to find
ways to inspire me to be a better mom, wife, Christian, and person.

Disclosure: This is a review and a review product was provided in exchange for my honest opinion.
It’s a known fact that one of the very first signs of aging
for a woman is her neck.And that is why
I loved Nora Ephron and her lighthearted look at aging. The late writer of ‘Sleepless In Seattle’ and director
of other fun films like ‘You’ve Got Mail’,‘Julia and Julie’ and ‘When Harry Met Sally’ waxed philosophical and
hilarious at the same time in the book I
Feel Bad About My Neck.For instance
she said,
“Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth.You have to cut open a redwood tree to see
how old it is, but you wouldn’t have to if it had a neck.”OR “One of my biggest regrets—bigger even
than not buying the apartment on East Seventy-fifth Street. Bigger even than my
worst romantic catastrophe—is that I didn’t spend my youth staring lovingly at
my neck.”
Perhaps she hadn't tried using Dermagist Neck
Restoring Cream?
Made with special
ingredients like peptides, hyaluronic acid, plant stem cells and various other
high quality and precisely blended ingredients, it is designed to get results in 4 areas: Improving the look of very loose skin on the neck, targeting deeply entrenched wrinkles, instant-effect target tightening, and long-term benefits and health.
Recommended for use twice daily, it is easy to put on and
go.1 bottle is designed to last for approx. 60 days. Since its release about 5 years ago,
it has had a consistent reputation as one of the very best neck treatments on
the market today.Women are constantly saying things like, “I just started using this cream but love it! I already see a
difference and love the light texture!” (review from Buyer Review website)
My opinion: I was given a bottle of Dermagist Neck Restoring Cream to try and although I’m not finished with it yet, I can say that it is very soothing, absorbs well, smells lightly
of citrus, and doesn’t flake off.After two weeks, I feel that the skin on my neck is more supple
and smooth.I really do like it! Advice: Don’t
use more than a few drops at one time!It’s not a cream meant to slather like butter on toast!It’s made to absorb into your skin and work is
magic down under the top layer!
Guarantee: Dermagist has a guarantee in place to make you feel even more secure trying it! If you aren't 100% satisfied after 30 days, you can return the bottle for a credit. By then they're so sure you'll be so happy with it that you won't want to return it, but instead get another bottle!
Price: Let's talk price. This isn't the most inexpensive cream around. But there are definitely ways you can pay much less. A simple one-bottle purchase from the company will run you $99.00 + shipping and 2 bottles costs less at $129.99 + shipping, which turns out to be less than $1.00/day because each bottle lasts for 60 days. Dermagist also offers regular shipment every 45 days for 20% off the regular price of $99.00.

The rains have come and with it, the true beginning of Fall. Even though Fall officially started this past week, today is the beginning for me. Last week temperatures were in the high 80's and summer was still with us. Last Friday night I went to my son's football game and right as I got there, the clouds started rolling in! People brought their umbrellas, having paid attention to the weather report that there is a huge system rolling in. Sure enough, as the game got underway, so did the rain. But it didn't last long and the rest of the game was played in relative dryness. I got home at around 11:00 p.m. Exhausted by my week, I collapsed into bed, ready to sleep for a good long time. But in the middle of the night I was awakened by huge claps of thunder. The lightning and thunder were spectacular! Today it has rained all day long and it seems like the state will be drenched! But not so fast, this is the 2nd driest state in the Union. And water usage is going up at an alarming rate. Not only is the population increasing, but certain demographics are squandering the water we have, by not utilizing the natural desert landscape, and instead creating an artificial rainforest effect on their properties and watering like crazy.
Just how much do I mean by that? Well, I called the city public utilities over a question about our water usage. The lady and I got to talking and she revealed some very interesting tidbits about the various areas around the city. I found out that my household's water usage is on the low scale of average, 30K gallons of water per week. The average monthly water usage for my area is 30K - 80K gallons of water per week. But there is another area just south and west of me that is totally different. This happens to be the wealthiest real estate area in the whole state. It comprises about 15 - 20 miles of prime real estate with property prices ranging from $850,00 to $5,000,000. The woman at the Public Utilities Office revealed that the average water usage for this area is 200K - 300K gallons per week. This is crazy to me! What are these people thinking? This is a desert, people!
And of course, the local government has to make some changes, because the population will be increasing by another 2.5 million people in the next 35 years--and because of the current usage rate the population is projected to surpass the developed water supply by the late 2030's.
My initial concern that my household is using too much water was cut short by the astronomical usages by my neighbors to the southwest. The decadent manner in which water is being squandered just to alter the natural vegetative state into something that isn't realistic is, to my mind, morally wrong!
One might argue, "I pay my water bill, so I can use whatever water I want, even if it runs in the gutters, it's mine because I pay for it." Well guess what, it's not your water, dude. It's going to run out and then your private oasis will dry up like the rest of the state only you live with the fact that you and your fellow Neighborhood Watch friends sucked it up, only thinking about how much more lush your yard could be in comparison to your wealthy neighbor up the road. Oh the foolishness of pride!
The state lawmakers are looking into changing how Utah deals with property taxes and water. Apparently only Utah uses property taxes to lower the prices of water. A study has recommended that property taxes should be reduced and instead make it a users' rate-based water fee.
I personally think that property taxes should remain intact and that water taxes should be added on top of that. I believe it would get people in those high-end neighborhoods to take a second look on how much water they use. It could save everyone in the state a lot of grief in the long run.
