Snow sucks. I don’t care if you ski. I don’t care if you snowboard. I don’t care if you live in an igloo. There is no reason for snow to fall before winter officially starts–and don’t give me the, “Well, we need water to live” argument. Wah, wah, wah. Unfortunately, I live in Utah. Also,Continue reading “Stages of Utah Snow”

Understanding Healthcare
You might have heard of the Affordable Health Care Act, also known as Obamacare or the End of Civilization as We Know It. Starting in 2014, everyone needs to be enrolled in some type of health insurance plan. Or else . . . . Unfortunately, Congress has decided to step in. Instead of working together to reachContinue reading “Understanding Healthcare”
People I’m Tired of Hearing About
Give a dog a bone, and he chews it until it’s a messy, pulpy, disgusting pile of goo. Which he then swallows. Give the media a scandal, and they’ll do the same thing. Is the media just lazy, or are celebrities too easy to talk about? Either way–enough, folks!! I don’t want to hear another WORDContinue reading “People I’m Tired of Hearing About”
Salt Lake Comic Con: To Geek or Not To Geek
Utah hosted its first Comic Con event–which seems like a slam dunk, because there are more sci-fi/fantasy geeks in Utah per cubic yard than there are Asians in China. So nerds across the state donned their Imperial stormtrooper armor, hopped in their Tardises (Tardii?) and beamed themselves to the Salt Palace in downtown Salt Lake.Continue reading “Salt Lake Comic Con: To Geek or Not To Geek”
Top 5 Ways You Know Summer is Over
(Exactly how I feel about fall today.) I promised myself I would enjoy every single day of summer. I would slow down, smell the proverbial roses, sit in the sun and drink fruity drinks. Now, it’s September. I didn’t slow down, my roses are dead, I avoided the sun (due to a fear of skinContinue reading “Top 5 Ways You Know Summer is Over”
Terrible Things to Say to Someone on a Diet
If you are speaking to, dating, married to or just looking at a woman, there’s a good chance (100%) that she’s just finished a diet, just started a diet, is cheating on a diet or will be starting a diet tomorrow. There’s never a time women don’t think about food/calories/dress sizes/exercise/futility. If you are a sensitive-type person,Continue reading “Terrible Things to Say to Someone on a Diet”

I recently went to San Francisco with hubby, and we packed every minute with activities, food and fun. Now I’m exhausted. Along with exhaustion, here are a few things that drove me crazy in San Francisco. (I’m not sure about my heart, but I definitely left most of my income in San Fran.) Scalded Mouth:Continue reading “Things Driving Me Crazy in San Francisco”
How to Raise a Royal Child
Now that all the hoopla has died down about the birth of The Royal Baby of the Universe (aka Prince George of Cambridge), we can take a step back and be grateful we’re not raising a royal child. Granted, some children are royal pains in the neither-regions, but that’s not quite the same. (One day yourContinue reading “How to Raise a Royal Child”
Things Driving Me Crazy Today
Another Tuesday has dawned, and with it, the sneaking feeling that it could be a really long day. In order to waste time, therefore cutting down on actual Tuesday activities, I created the latest list of Things Driving Me Crazy Today. (Too lazy to deal with Tuesday.) Feel free to add on. When you drinkContinue reading “Things Driving Me Crazy Today”
How to Survive a Road Trip
Hubbie and I hit the road last weekend to attend an economic summit in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. (I know, you’re supremely jealous.) Having driven this stretch of road before, I knew I could expect miles and miles of boring scenery–cows, barbed wire, more cows, weathered barns, did I mention cows? Packing for a road tripContinue reading “How to Survive a Road Trip”
