Tonight Drew's young women's group at church had their annual "New Beginnings" welcome activity for the girls who will be old enough to move from the children's church group into the young women's group this year. Our young women's group always goes ALL OUT for these things. They put in mind-boggling amounts of time and effort and even money on elaborate decorations, invitations, refreshments,

I'll bet you wish you were as cool as me and got awesome return-address labels like these in the mail, right? Never has paying a dentist bill been so much fun!

You are at work. At your desk there are two space heaters. There is only one of you. It gets cold in here sometimes, but right now it is not especially cold. You are not especially busy. What would you do? Move one space heater aside where it is out of the way. You won't be needing it because if you do get cold you can just put on a jacket and/or turn on the other heater. When your shift ends,

I should have posted this prediction the first of January when I made it, but here it is anyway: Utah's winter will start mid-January 2012 and it will be winter until June. I should have posted this prediction the day after the Iowa caucus because that's when I made it, but here it is anyway: Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee because he is the guy who will be able to beat Obama.

Driving home after dropping off child #1 at dance class, on my way to buy chocolate milk and bananas then pick up child #2 to go to the next dance class. Our new stomping grounds: Downtown Salt Lake. Ironically, not much faster to get through town than to take the freeway all the way to Centerville.

  (photo by evancparker from flickr) Today's theories as to why the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, as discussed over lunch with my kids: Some poor researcher at the Mayan University of the Yucatan lost the funding for his Future Calendar Research Programme. His life's work ended in a futile plea, denied by some folks who had determined that by 2012 there had to be a better way to

I wrote before about my crazy goal to read 120 books this year. I think I could have actually done it had I not become bogged-down with too much nonfiction reading and just too much everything. I have learned a lot about ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder over the past six months, but I've not read enough fiction to keep the imagination functioning well, which means I haven't been writing much,

Hunter and Drew were given a challenge in seminary class to listen to nothing but Christmas music in the month of December. That was the perfect invitation to me to work hard on my music collection. After all, nobody wants to listen to the same few songs over and over and over for a month, right? (Unless their name is Drew and the songs are all by Justin Bieber.) I love Amazon.com's "25 Days of

I need a bike. I need a bike so that next fall I can leave the car home and bike the 2.5 miles to work, and Drew can drive to school. With a little effort I should be in a little better shape by then and 2.5 miles uphill at 11:00 p.m. won't kill me. When spring finally shows up next year, I'm going to head over to a bike shop and take a look at some Specialized bikes. I really like what this one
