The Literary Nunnery, Ep. 28: In which Leslie has a chance to revisit

Obviously filmed on a Tuesday. Very short (and would've been shorter, but I added all my false starts to the end as a laugh).

This video was obviously filmed on a Tuesday. Also, I added my multiple false starts to the end of the video as a laugh (and also because otherwise it would've been less than a minute long).

The Literary Nunnery, Ep. 26: In which Leslie reads at work

(I keep forgetting to share to the blog. There's a handy "subscribe" button on Youtube, though, if you want to be sure not to miss any...just saying...have I really become that person...)
Not related, but the audio on this video was super out of sync. The fact that you probably can't tell that is so great to me. I am a woman of accomplishment.

The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West

followers of my faith [Mormon Monday 83]

It's that time of year I spend a lot of time looking up Conference quotes (that someone else has chosen, I just have to download the files and highlight the pertinent text), which means I run into some really great things, like this one from Elder Christofferson:

A consecrated life is a beautiful thing. Its strength and serenity are “as a very fruitful tree which is planted in a goodly land, by a pure stream, that yieldeth much precious fruit” (D&C 97:9). Of particular significance is the influence of a consecrated man or woman upon others, especially those closest and dearest. The consecration of many who have gone before us and others who live among us has helped lay the foundation for our happiness. In like manner future generations will take courage from your consecrated life, acknowledging their debt to you for the possession of all that truly matters. May we consecrate ourselves as sons and daughters of God, “that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope” (Moroni 7:48; see also 1 John 3:2),

It makes me want to be better, especially so I can be a good influence on others.
