In which I swear I love my mom and am not making fun of her at all. I swear.

This is absolutely , without a doubt, The King’s most favorite picture of my mom. He laughs every time he sees it.

There she is, just standing there posing for a picture with her huge helmet on. Like she’s saying “why bother taking this totally uncomfortable helmet off for a little lunch break?”
Why bother? [...]

In which I was this close to the 2010 winter Olympics

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I moved out of Utah in 2000.  The winter Olympics were there in 2002.  I was always disappointed that I missed out on all the excitement of actually being at the Olympics.  (That being said, I don’t know a single person in Utah that actually attended any of the events.  That totally baffles me to [...]

Thanks for all the well-wishes and comments about The King getting laid off ON THE PHONE, ON VACATION.  Yes, that was lame.  But seriously, we’re fine.  (He had an interview on Tuesday and has another on today.  He’s totally rocking it.)
Plus, he’s had dinner on the table EVERY night this week.  I don’t hate that.
Let’s [...]

In which I give The Best Gift Ever

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I’m back from Louisiana. Dude, how do people live in that heat? I guess my problem was that I was working OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT. Yep, totally outside. Not fun.
I got in last night and am back at my office desk today. Sunday I leave (again) to go to Utah [...]
