I completely forgot about that poem that posted itself (thanks to my scheduling it two years earlier) in December. In case you couldn't tell, it was written from a very dark place. In other words, I was severely depressed. A series of painful events involving the loss of a close friend and a huge financial disaster hit me all at once - and in the winter, which is grey enough already. I sank. The

December 2012 I just finished re-reading Ally Condie's book Matched so that I can read the rest of the series and understand what is going on. It's been too long! I forgot the details and was lost after starting the second book. The series makes frequent reference to Dylan Thomas' poem Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, and I was curious about the poetic form of it, then intrigued at the

This blog is on hiatus while I do some living in some other places right now. I'm sure I'll be back to it later, but for now I'm back in school (who knew that could happen?!?) studying social media marketing, working on an online game streaming project with my younger son, building my long-stagnant LDS Scripture-of-the Day project, running every chance I get, supporting my older kids in their

SPOILER ALERT! Don't read this unless you're ready to know which is the false statement in the last True/False post. The false post is: 4. I only WISH this were false, and that they could drive themselves. Sadly, no licenses at our house yet. I'm still driving kids around. Taking the bus and train does happen around here, but not enough. It takes up more time and costs more than driving,  for

One of the following statements is false. The rest are true. Tired of being tired all the time. Sleeping more, doing less of everything else. Tired of eating chocolate on the low. From now on I'm going to eat it whenever I want. Tired of taking out the garbage. That's what kids are for, right? Tired of  driving kids places all the time. Bus passes for everyone! Tired of not doing the things I

This week is Drew's turn to perform in Ballet West's Nutcracker. That means a lot of watching Nutcracker for me, and a lot of parking downtown and trying to not spend too much money on cool stuff from the Ballet West Boutique. Also, not enough sleep, but that's almost normal - no matter what week it is. My mom, my sister, my boys, and I will all be going to see the final performance - the

How could I not share this?

I made candy that tasted good even though it didn't set up like I wanted it to! I baked cookies - twice! I mixed up a peppermint chocolate trifle that was so yummy my 15-year-old son actually liked it! (He never eats anything I make.) Let's stop here to point out that I did not take cute photos of all this stuff next to shiny holiday decorations and post them on Pinterest, nor did I plan 10

I should be posting a Christmas song here because that's what I'm restricting myself to this month, but I couldn't exactly close my ears at the movies, could I? And I had to listen to it a few times later, just to make sure it was as awesome as I remembered, outside the theatre. New favorite from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug soundtrack. This gives me chills. I'm putting it on repeat as

SPOILER ALERT! Don't read this unless you're ready to know which are the false statements in the last three True/False posts. In #10 the false answer is 3. I don't know about Duncan, but I had a moment of fear when it looked like he nearly lost his grip on Clara. Whew! Alas, I missed the last performance and the Doctor Who special to get some much-needed sleep. In #11 the false answer is 3. Mice
