Yay! Just got a confirmation e-mail from Nimbus. Turns out there were a couple of other proposals on the same topic, so they’d like to combine them into one 90-min panel. Some of the people are from California Baptist University. A Mormon and a Baptist. That’s going to be interesting. Anyway, details soon. I’m at […]

I went to my first Floral Design lab today. Created a beautiful bouquet of spray roses, carnations, daisy mums, heather, waxflowers, statice, and aster. And addressed the card to myself.

I always feel like dancing when I come out of a musical. Just saw Crazy For You at BYU. It was great fun. I love musicals. I want to live in one. Some people think I do live in one, but that’s beside the point. Don’t you wish that you could burst into song with […]

my eye. Leslie has stated that she’s sick of snow. I probably would be too, at this point, if we’d actually had any. I think we’ve gotten a total of 4 inches since November. It’s ridiculous. I’ve been walking around in my sweater, for heaven’s sake! January weather is not supposed to be sweater weather! […]
