Whew! I survived the Christmas gauntlet!  Yes, the actual holiday hasn’t happened yet, but all the crazy stuff is over; the only thing that’s left is run-of-the-mill present wrapping and grocery shopping.  Because I’m an absolute idiot I decided to make the presents for my mother-in-law, sister and sister-in-law.  I was supposed to do this […]

Like most teenagers growing up I thought that cities were The Best. There could be nothing better in the world than being surrounded by culture and coolness 24 hours a day. Maybe I figured that if cities were amazing, then I must also be amazing by virtue of living in one. (But if you walk […]

Remember this heinous old thing? I bought it at Wimberley Market Days which is a really cute flea market held once a month in the darling town of Wimberly, Texas.  I went with Lorie from Be Different, Act Normal.  It’s not the kind of flea market that sells Sham-Wows and huge bags of no-name tube […]

I had some nice maternity pictures taken with Jasper since I knew he was my last baby. They were so pretty (except the ones where I look super fat). I’m not about to put them up here for your perusal since I don’t want to show my almost-nakey self to the world. But I will […]

The Relief Society is in charge of the ward Christmas Party this year. I already have my decorating theme (Candy Canes! Everything will be red and white.) But I’m not really jazzed about any of the program/activity ideas that that we’ve been considering.  Have you been to any church Christmas parties that  you’ve really liked? […]

The subject is this: I bought a solar oven.  I read a novel a few months ago about Iran launching nuclear weapons above the U.S. that created an Electro-Magnetic Pulse.  This EMP caused the entire country to completely lose power permanently.  It instantly threw us back into the mid-1800’s, technologically-speaking.  Having the vivid imagination that […]
