I have strong feelings on the subject of Mormons’ misguided love affair with the concept of “modesty” but I thought I’d just keep them to myself. I did a good job of it, too, until something was said in Relief Society that nearly set me seizing with silent rage. The discussion was about how and [...]

It’s been a whole month since I posted this year’s installment of baby names, and WHAT A MONTH. Within the first three weeks the pageviews surpassed last year’s post’s all-time total. This thing gets exponentially bigger each year so to everyone who shared through forums, your blog, someone else’s blog, email, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, messages [...]

Ignore the facts that A) I practically begged this person to allow me to post something on her blog, and B) she’s my sister-in-law. IT STILL COUNTS. The post is something I wrote a couple of years ago then forgot about once I decided that my own blog wasn’t really the place for it. Jon’s [...]

Jon took Penny outside to pee yesterday morning and was chatting with two neighbors, one of which had a chihuahua on a leash. The chihuahua attacked Penny, who ran in a circle around Jon, somehow causing his tear-away athletic pants to FALL COMPLETELY TO THE GROUND. He was just standing there in his underwear!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Additional [...]

Jon and I are major procrastinators when it comes to taxes so it was no surprise that my weekend to-do list included heading to H&R Block. (We always have them prepared for us. The only time we didn’t we ended up owing and it was not fun. Also, ours are never complicated so it costs [...]

1. I. ALMOST. DIED. I was on my way to work when the truck in front of me kicked up a giant rock, dare I say a boulder, and flung it at my head. Luckily it first hit the hood of my Jeep, then the wiper joint, before rolling up the windshield and off the [...]

If I told you I’ve shampooed my hair recently, I’d be lying. I haven’t touched the stuff in over three weeks, washing with a baking soda slurry instead, and conditioning with diluted vinegar. WHY OTHER PEOPLE GO ‘POO-FREE’: This site has tons of information, so instead of rehashing it all, there’s a link, and here’s [...]

Something happened at a Banana Republic a couple of months ago that has been swirling around in my head ever since. I was thrust – THRUST I TELL YOU – into an awkward social situation that could have happened to anyone, and I certainly didn’t handle it as gracefully as I might have. It went [...]

Every year I worry that Southeastern Idaho won’t supply an ample list of truly horrendous baby names for my annual post, but it always delivers! Case in point, the anthology: Names 2010! Names 2009! Names 2008! Names 2007! And last year was no different. LET’S JUMP RIGHT IN. Here are the best of the worst [...]

Plenty of people thought I was inactive at church as a teenager, some family members included, because I didn’t attend early-morning seminary. ALL good Mormon kids attend seminary and the fact that I didn’t obviously meant I was dealing drugs, never mind that I went to church every single week and never missed an activity. [...]

1. My office moved this weekend, therefore I am a giant walking papercut. Every single item in an office that could have sliced me, did. Folders, boxes, laminated posters, you name it, I’ve been cut by it. I ran my foot over good with a cart, too. I’m sure the bruising and swelling will go [...]

I slept approximately three winks the night before last thanks to a murderously sore throat that set my body seizing each time I reflexively swallowed. Stupid reflexes!!! I originally thought it was laryngitis because no other major symptoms had presented themselves aside from the near inability to speak. Since my job requires lots of over-the-phone [...]

You can check in any time of day for an hour of napping (the one-person-per-room policy is strictly enforced). The only things inside the small, soundproof, darkened room are a comfy bed, a nightstand, an alarm clock, a coat hook, and a glass of warm milk. Punch-cards available. Buy four naps get the fifth free! [...]

Yesterday must be the first time I’ve given my unusually cavernous bellybutton a thorough cleaning since living in the Caribbean, because GUESS WHAT I FOUND??? Sand, that’s what. You might think that’s gross, and you’d be right, but isn’t it also sort of sweet to think that I’ve carried a little bit of Statia with [...]

Things I forgot to say about the MoTab concert (or, rather, fellow concert-goers in our vicinity): The old man sitting next to Jon was pinching one of his nostrils and wheezing through his obstructed nose the entire two hours. The girl sitting next to me wore a jingle-bell bracelet. Luckily she took it off after [...]

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir came to Phoenix this weekend, so Jon and I headed downtown for the Friday night concert. I loved every second of it, but especially their rendition of the Nigerian Christmas carol “Betelehemu” (here’s a link to a prior performance of it – so, so, so, so, so cool). My aunt, Becky, [...]

First – Today, a marketing guy from Jason’s Deli stopped by the office with a sample for another lady (we often have caterers dropping by like this, trying to buy our loyalty, and it works). Lucky for me that lady is no longer employed here, so I inherited her lunch. After he left I laughingly [...]

Twice in the last month, I’ve had the weirdest thing happen. I got a blind spot in my vision that gradually expanded, and as it expanded the edges turned wavy, and eventually the blind spot went away but the wavy circle remained, and it got bigger and bigger until it eventually got outside the range [...]
