Inauguration

It’s hard not to comment on this.  OK, so it is not hard for most people, since it seems that is all people are talking about.  But, it’s a cool time, right now.  This may be something I should have learned earlier in life, but may as well start learning today.  “Right now is cool.” [...]

Explanation…

I am sure you didn’t necessarily notice, but I was gone for a bit.  Gone as in, made myself anonymous.  The act of doing so has struck me as hilarious.  So….. I fostered a dog, right?  Posted a blog for people to find out information about her.  Made a fatal error – used my same [...]

Well Mini Me!

As in “mini” = verb.
I’ll let you all in on a little secret.  This fits in really well with what I overheard my coworker talking about yesterday.  Let me clarify…..Loudly GABBING about is more precise.  “I hate blogs.  I don’t know why people think they are so important.  And can you imagine posting that stuff [...]

Mediocrity

I am not smart. 
I get bored. 
The dishes need to be done.
I have ADD. 
I am not sure if those are excuses or realities.  Likely both.  That is how I feel about politics lately.  I feel like I should care more now that it’s getting closer and the Saturday Night Live skits are heating up.  But I’m [...]

The Giant Taco Salad in the Room….

I was reading about food storage and found out that to make taco salads once a week, for a year, which is the recommended amount of food to have stored, you would need 31 pounds of pinto beans!  3 cups of cumin!  The best part is that someone would also recommend you store 26 bags [...]

Ten years.

I was nervous for my high school reunion.  Most people are, I realize.  A lot of people are nervous about the way they look, or their accomplishments.  I was nervous ever since reading Ana’s description of her reunion here.
I didn’t previously think people would say such things to my face.  And, despite my combative exteriror, [...]

Would I do this?

From my local paper:
Salt Lake City police say a 27-year-old man was trying to go north to Bountiful. He pulled up Google Maps on his cell phone to find an alternate route.
Instead of heading home, he ended on a four-wheeler trail somewhere above City Creek Canyon near 5500 East and 1900 North.
Detective Jeff Bedard, spokesman [...]

Machine’s don’t like us.

I was listening to a Woody Allen stand up routine in my car that Dust got from his buddy.  He was talking about how machines hate him.  I laughed; mainly because he’s a comedian and that is what you do, and because Dusty and I have the same problem!
Friday night at 6 we were down [...]

Is there anything edible in Utah?

I have become a food critic.  Not because I know alot about it, but because I complain about other people’s use of it.  Yes, I blame Michael Pollan for teaching me what is not food.
Everytime I work outside of my office, I am left to try and find lunch somewhere.  I suppose my healthiest option is [...]

The Ol’ One, Two

 

 
We were in a meeting today, talking about a decision that was made here at work, to change something pretty dramatic about the project that I am on.  It is largely political, and the move doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to us lowly ones. 
So, a coworker and I were talking about how it’s an abrupt [...]
