Let It Go
Okay, so "Let It Go" was not my favorite song in Frozen (I still like it a lot; but out of all the music in the movie, it's at the bottom of the list). For one thing, it sounds like it's written ...
Technology
You know how, when you meet a new person the first time, one of the first questions you ask is, "Are you on Facebook?" With people my age, I never ask it expecting anything other than, "Yeah! I'm...
I lived!
So I ran 13.1 miles on Saturday morning and did NOT die. It's a miracle! Most of this is going to be super boring to you, but I want to write it down. My primary goal: finish. My secondary goal...
Usborne
I'm "hosting" an Usborne party on Facebook on Friday evening (8pm Mountain time). I'm having trouble coming up with people to invite, hah! So let me know if you'd like an invite. I like the onlin...
Aaaah!
I made the mistake of sharing my blog (it's on Blogger, and I mostly only share the funnier posts, not the boring navel-gazing ones) on Facebook. My pastor's wife reads it. Now she wants me to wr...
The greatest thing
Or one of them. Winercise. It is the best. The exercise is good, and the wine is good, but even better is the friendship. I hate to get all sappy and weird, but something has happened to me in t...
Fright
I made it through my early morning without anyone dying by my hand Another friend is moving away this summer. That's the hazard of living in Salt Lake. There are so many people who are here on...
Secondhand Birthday
I love how I move to Utah, and THIS is the place where it's acceptable to have alcohol at small children's birthday parties. I did the secondhand birthday thing, and it was great. We had a glori...
I've made a terrible mistake
I have to get up super early tomorrow morning, so I took a full Ambien about ten minutes ago, and it's kind of kicking in, and now this is the best part of today. Everything is warm. Why, you a...
We *can* be friends.
I read this article the other day. It's called "We Can't Be Friends." It's not as bad as some others that I've read, but it implies many of the things that I hate most about these Real/Genuine/Me...
Not-Wine
You know those people who see hilarious things everywhere they go and assume everyone else is on the same page? I am one of them. Things are just... funny to me. All the time. Even if they're not...
Sick.
I have a cold. Uck. I've been really susceptible to colds (followed by a horrible cough) for as long as I can remember. Until this past fall. I don't know if it's running or what, but I get over ...
Certified Award-Winning Mother
Winercise. It is the greatest thing of all time. I lied. Many things are greater. But Winercise is one of my favorite things after a long list of necessities and major conveniences. I would not...
Utah, or why I've been writing less
I'm sure you are all sick of hearing about it, but I can't begin to explain what moving to Utah has done for me. For us. I never get over it. Sometimes it wells up in me, though, this gratitude, ...
Why aren't secondhand gifts acceptable?
I want to have a birthday party for Emmy. I want people to buy her gifts. This is because gifts make her happy, and because giving gifts to a crazy, happy four-year-old makes my friends happy. I'...
I have not said any of these things to anyone who knew her.
Is it okay to judge someone who just died? A lady in my MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) group just died of cancer. She has a husband and a daughter who just turned five. Grace's age. It's almost ...
Wine
No, I didn't misspell "whine," although I'm sure that's what you were thinking because it is, after all, what I do best. I'm actually talking about wine. I've never really been into wine. Befor...
Feel like
I love to do things I'm not particularly good at, usually for one of two reasons. They make me feel powerful. They help me imagine I'm really good at it, like a person on a TV show, or in a mov...
TV
This is not a *Sanctimommy post, I promise. But this is something that has amazed Jeremy and me over the last few months, and I think it's interesting how kids' brains work. Before we moved to U...
Food
There aren't a lot of foods I dislike, the but the ones that I do dislike, I really, really hate. I'm weird about meats, but if it grows out of the ground (naturally, and not on top of something ...
In which I learn and grow
I love singing. I don't think I'm very great at it. I mean, I do think I have a nice voice. As in, it's pleasing to hear, and I can sing on key. But I think there are many levels between me and a...
Rar
Winter is coming, and I am not a Stark. In a totally unsurprising turn of events, I managed to get the flu a week and a half before I was planning on getting the shot. Well, I'm pretty sure it w...
Filler
As many of you have jumped ship from OD to here, and I'm leaving notes on your entries, I thought it might be a good idea to have an entry where you can actually reply. For now, that's all. Unles...
