Mother, Mother, write me another
01.18.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI sit here, in the blessed quiet of the post-kids-bedtime limbo — time guiltily stolen from household chores (got 5 minutes? you could shine your sink a là FlyLady) and church duties (Sunday’s just three days away — is your Sunday School lesson ready?). Stolen because really I should just go to bed so there’d [...]

Further proof (as if it were needed) that the 80s were a golden age for music
12.14.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI have to say that Florida has better beaches than Utah. But Utah has much better radio stations. I’ve been listening to 101.9 The End since it used to be 107.5 The End, which made a lot more sense, since 107.5 is much closer to the end than 101.9. Anyway, it’s kind of embarrassing to [...]

“Do you really think that the guy who created heaven and earth cares what you put in your digestive tract?”
10.07.07 | Permalink | 15 CommentsIt might be the height of arrogance to think that God concerns himself with petty things like whether Mormons drink tea, much less tequila, and that Muslims and Jews don’t eat pork. I’m just glad to not be part of a religion that forbids something I really like, like hot chocolate with whipped cream. That [...]

Makes-Me-Smile Monday: Art
06.10.07 | Permalink | 4 CommentsWelcome to the Art edition of Makes-Me-Smile Monday. My favorite work of art is … Western Europe. No, really. There’s not much that bugs me more than people who complain non-constructively about the United States, but honesty compels me to say that if it’s culture, art or history you’re looking for, you’d be wise to [...]

Do you want to know my secret?
Sally asked us this while Dick read to the girls and we all snuggled up this evening. Her secret? “That I wish I married Daddy.” When Dick didn’t want to read yet another book, Sally said, “But you said you’re really into reading.” Oh, and not to brag or anything, but, Sally can read! Hallelujah! [...]

On espionage, or, How I was recruited as a freshman by the CIA, or was I?
05.30.07 | Permalink | 10 CommentsI’ve been craving TV for awhile. I mostly haven’t missed it since the first few weeks in January, but, every once in awhile, I get a craving for a nice, short beginning-middle-end-type show with some comic relief and cathartic, vicarious blood-letting shoot-em-up action. I’d heard a lot about the show Alias. And Jennifer Garner was [...]

A few random observations
05.17.07 | Permalink | Comments OffMovie recommendation: Thank You for Smoking. 5 stars. Hilarious, though the ending was a bit anti-climactic; the very last scene was great, though. (disclaimer: we watched it edited, so I don’t know about the regular version). Dick and I (after a joyful reunion last night) got into a (tiny) argument today. He said, “Oh are [...]
