Brian sent me a text message this evening to let me know that President Hinckley had passed away. It still doesn’t seem quite like it has actually happened. I remember I was taking the ACT my junior year of high school the day he was sustained.
I remember him frequently using the Polar Star, immovable, constant, [...]

Tyler and Anjuli gave me this DVD for Christmas. It’s one of my new favorites. All the shorts in one place! Hours of hilarity (okay, it’s not that long), without any dialogue for the most part (which I find real cool, talk about good visual story telling). And they started clear back in 1984, which [...]

I’m declaring myself moved in. Due to Tucson’s disbelief in closet space, I have several containers of fabric in the corner of my bedroom that I don’t know what to do with, but otherwise the boxes are all gone, my books are all out, I have three quilts out being displayed, my photos are up [...]

I’m moved. Settled in will be a different story. An amazingly good-looking gentleman is letting me use the internet at his house today. I hope to have it at my place in another week. (Note, said gentleman is the one who thinks he is amazingly good-looking and added that in. And since this is his [...]

It feels like I am camping in my own house. It’s below freezing and snowing outside. So I think camping inside is a good idea right now. I have my sleeping bag on an air mattress in my bedroom. The only thing to sit on, other than the floor, is a camp chair I pulled [...]

This is a list of some of the odd thoughts that cross my mind as I’m packing.

Just how many Sharpies am I going to misplace doing this?
There is a lot of ocean on the world.
Wow. All you have to do is clear the bookcases and take everything off the walls and it really doesn’t look [...]
