SubscribeLast weekend we purchased the movie Nacho Libre on DVD. And I was totally flipping excited to watch it, since I missed it in the theaters just like I’ve missed nearly every movie in the theater since about mid year 1998. Having children dramatically effects your theater going ability. Dramatically people. [...]

Lunch, Utah style
A few weeks ago, my one and only Utah friend invited me to a lunch she was having for her birthday. And although she is my only Utah friend, I am most certainly not her only Utah friend so there were going to be about 8 other people there. I am going to [...]
Very Superstitious
I may have mentioned before, once or twice, that I was born and raised in the Mormon church. I spent the first 18 years if my life being indoctrinated daily, and another 10 years after that being inactive but still believing it was probably true. When I finally did the research a few [...]
Thou shalt not take the name of a bodily function in vain
My sister and the two youngest of her crew of children came and stayed with me last week. I love my sister. She is a sweet and accepting person. She never once commented on my drinking coffee, or the wine bottles that I have elegantly displayed in a rack on my [...]
I Hope They Call Me On A Mission, or maybe I’ll apostatise instead
One day last week after Leo was done with his morning kindergarten session his best friend invited him over to play. I happily drove him to his friends house, and then drunk on the prospect of getting some shopping done with only one child in tow, I headed off to the store. Half way there [...]
Subjected to random impulse mental images
My mother-in-law was up visiting us last week. I’m sure its no surprise to you that I don’t always see eye to eye with her. Really, not ever at all. We are VERY different people, but that fact notwithstanding, I understand the important role she plays in the life of my children. When she [...]
Oh Thank Heaven
I spent the weekend with my family and I’m still recovering people, really. I love my parents and my sister and my sisters gaggle of children very much. Even though a full 95% of what they talk about is the Mormon Church, and the other 5% are church related topics, I still love them because [...]
The worth of souls
When my husband and I made the decision to raise our children without subjecting them directly to the tyranny of organized religion, we understood that this would not necessarily be the easiest path. We live in a State dominated by religion, a specific religion, that being the same religion that we were both born and [...]
Thou shalt not
I have been taking a little break from myself. Sounds nice in a way, huh? But actually I have had to have this break due to some life stress I’ve had of late. Life stress that’s caused by families, relationships, bills, debt, and JOBS THAT REFUSE TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES ON TIME. However, I will [...]
Thanks for screwin us
Last night my husband was in the hot tub with Sunny and 2 of our very Mormon, very republican nieces. My husband, who is neither republican or Mormon to a severe degree, had taught Sunny this joke, and she decided this was the perfect time to tell it. So she turns to her cousins and [...]
