  How open lines of communication and pet names can strengthen your most important relationship

  02.29.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  So, Dick works for a company that is in the top 10 of conservative companies in the entire world. He loves his job. Even though he has to wear a suit everyday and shine his shoes and be interviewed as to his personal righteousness every two years. He actually says he doesn’t notice his tie [...]

  the naked chef

  Spot likes to fold her arms for prayer now. For about three seconds. She’ll do it over and over during a prayer, in between walking around (if we’re kneeling) or eating her food and grunting (if she’s strapped in at the table). Don’t ask how I know what she’s doing. I have my eyes closed [...]

  It wasn’t hard to love him

  What I would ask Mitt Romney if I were concerned about his Mormonism

  12.08.07 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I don’t know why he hasn’t been asked this question, or, if he has, why his answer hasn’t gotten media attention (not that, of course, it has anything to do with his fitness for running the nation, but, if I were hoping to complicate things for him, I’d want to ask). Why hasn’t anyone asked [...]

  Get thee a blog!

  I feel a bit awkward writing on this topic as I’ve been quite delinquent in posting the past couple months (to your great sorrow, I’m sure). But I heard such a disturbing thing a couple days ago that I cannot remain silent — surprising as it may (not) be that I feel rather strongly about [...]

  Makes-Me-Smile Monday: Pioneers and Petticoats

  07.23.07 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Welcome to the Pioneers edition of Makes-Me-Smile Monday. On the 24th of July, 1847, the first Mormon Pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley after an arduous journey. You can read more about them, look at cool maps, and read firsthand accounts here. Most of the Pioneers made incredible sacrifices, especially those who traveled by handcart. Sometimes I’ve almost [...]
