Bacon and Karma

Lately i've become a huge believer in Karma.

There are many good things that I want to have happen in the near future for me and my little family. There are jobs, and creative projects, financial endeavors, and other wishes that consume many a tête-a-tête. So in an attempt to see these things realized, we have begun to practice principles of good Karma. It's just an experiment at this point, so we'll let you know how it goes. Who knows you may even be a recipient of some karma that you can in turn pass on to someone else.

Also, bacon is delightful.

Yea for poems

So 2 of my poems are being published in the Kolob Canyon Review this year, which is awesome since they had like 150 or something submissions, and only selected 30 pieces... and 2 of them are MINE!!! Ha ha ha ha!!!!

As soon as it comes out, i'll put more information up. Such as purchasing, where you can read them, etc...

Anyway. Yea!

sometimes, you just have to dance

I'm all alone in the office on a Saturday, and despite the fact that i still have a mountain of work to finish by Monday, i felt a compulsion to turn up my music and dance around the office. you should never ignore impulses like that.


Also, i'm thinking of trying to put together a Bollywood work-out and see if they'd let me teach it at the gym i go to. Honestly they don't even have to pay me. i just need to find an avenue to get myself moving again. But if you are in the southern utah area and would be interested in learning to shake some hips with me, please please let me know. I so want this to work out.

In other creative news, i've written 5,000 words this week. If that crazy girl from my adv. fiction class at SUU can get published, why shouldn't I be published... Of course in order to be published you actually have to write something. So i'm working on that now.

So So Excited

Well, I'm not going to the Sweet 16 games, which is too bad. Blair is still going, and he's taking Joel. Oh don't worry, i'm fine with not going, because i have something else to be super excited for this week. I'm going to see the Matches tomorrow night!!!!!

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Blair and I with Matt Whalen (drummer extraordinaire) at the last Matches concert. I was digging his Reading Rainbow shirt.

I will try to not run away with the band.

If you have not yet heard of this band (for shame) they are here: www.thematches.com

AND, AND, AND, to make this awesomeness even more awesome, bff Katie-Aunt is coming with me. Words cannot describe how happy we are to get all that driving time to just talk without any little distractions. I will miss my girls and my Blair terribly of course, but sometimes it's very refreshing to just take a little break. Especially a break that includes The Matches and may or may not include delicious medeterranian cusine. http://www.paymons.com/med_main.html

I've got a fever...

Yes, i've got my brackets all filled out, my stat tracker updating me on scores here at work, and a killer instinct. All those clueless LearnKey kids are going DOWN!!!

Just for the record, i've got Syracuse and Villanova both going to the Final 4. People who only pick #1 seeds are pussies.

Next weekend is the Sweet 16, and we have tickets to the games in Phoenix. It's still up in the air whether or not we will get to go, but it would be fun. A couple years ago we saw the first round games at the U of U, and it was an absolute blast! There is so much you just don't get watching the games on TV. For example: the pep bands playing Fall Out Bow and Yellowcard. And the Xavier cheerleaders just plain being awesome.

Just so you know

It was awesome.

Snow Day

Try as I might to ignore the fact that winter even exists, there are occasions where taking the kids out to have fun in a snowy backyard can be rather enjoyable. So last Sunday morning before church, (1:00 meetings are the best) we got dressed all warmly and had some adventures.


Getting ready to go. With matching hats.


Making footprints.


Some serious posing. Kevin? I found you a model for your next TEP class.


Exploring in the trees.
