My weird ponderosa pine fixation

June 29th, 2002 · No Comments

Yesterday, I took the time to stop and smell the pine tree. You see, a long time back, my family went on a camping trip to Bryce Canyon National Park. One night, the park rangers gave a little slide show presentation about the flora and fauna in the park. She specifically pointed out the Ponderosa […]

Do you like my new look?

June 24th, 2002 · No Comments

I’ve been somewhat dissatisfied with the look of my blog for a while now– although I liked the layout. I looked at some of the other templates available, but I didn’t really like any of them. I’m not savvy enough to come up with my own template, so that option is out. But then, I […]

Happy birthday. . .

June 24th, 2002 · No Comments

to my twin sisters, Lisa and Laura! They turned 19 today– I hope it’s a good one! Oh, and I got a new counter. I was really sick of that Count Z one being unavailable. Hopefully this new service will be more reliable. Plus, this one doesn’t count for mutliple hits in a row, which […]

So yesterday I went to

June 20th, 2002 · No Comments

So yesterday I went to a wedding reception. It was a fun one, because the bride and groom were both from Murray. They had been high school sweethearts, actually. After we graduated, Spencer went on an LDS mission to the Netherlands for two years, while Traci started college. She even went to the BYU Jerusalem […]

Car names

June 17th, 2002 · No Comments

So at my house, we name our cars. This has a long and glorious tradition. It all started when my mom bought her brand-new 1977 Toyota Corolla before she even met my dad. She named it Alex after Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Dad has, rather unfairly, been accused of marrying Mom for her car (and her piano), […]

AFI list

June 13th, 2002 · Comments Off

Okay, I just had a really big laugh. The American Film Institute has released its One Hundred Years, One Hundred Passions list, of the 100 greatest love stories of the 20th century. Usually, I disagree with AFI’s lists. They’ve been COMPLETELY off on a whole bunch of them. But I actually agree with most of […]

Template troubles continued

June 10th, 2002 · No Comments

Okay, Morgan seems to be having questions, so I’m going to have to explain it again. When I make a change in my template, the outward code changes, because my page changes. But when I go back into the template, the code looks like I never changed a thing. In fact, the code is so […]

Blogger troubles

June 10th, 2002 · No Comments

Okay, so Blogger’s having some stupid problem with their template server, so when I go to update my template on what I’m reading, it brings up my OLD template, from before I changed my YACCS code. So even though the intended changes are made, the page actually REVERTS back to the old code. So I […]
