    When Will I Ever Learn? (or, “Kwitcherbellyachin’!”, sung to the tune of “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”)

    Sunday, February 8th, 2009

    Where do all the crumbs come from?
    On the countertops.
    Where do all the crumbs come from,
    Every single day?
    Where do all the crumbs come from?
    I wipe them up until I’m numb,
    Oh, when will it ever end?
    When will it ever end.
    I am thankful for the crumbs,
    Though they bug me.
    I am thankful for the crumbs
    Hope they’re always there!
    I am [...]

    The Wonderful World of Yang

    Friday, December 12th, 2008

    I have been trying for many many months now to get some inspiration on how to make order out of the chaos that is all of Yang’s STUFF!  Thankfully, she has a lot of stuff, and left many journals.  I happened to be looking through her missionary journal (which I’ve never completely read) and decided [...]

    It’s been a while…

    Thursday, September 25th, 2008

    I just realized it’s been 4 weeks since I’ve posted on here. I just wanted to say the anniversary of my sister’s death is coming up, so things are getting depressing. Sunday the 28th will be 4 years!! which seems so ridiculous. I will post something big all about my sister that day. Today I’m [...]

    For Yang

    Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

    I’ve been thinking about my sister a lot lately. The other day I was getting something out of one of the little plastic drawers in my craft closet and the combination of all the smells hit me and I was immediately transported back to my Lookout Pointe apartment I shared with my sister. It nearly [...]

    Homeschool

    Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

    My sister and I always had dreams of homeschooling out children together. How I wish she were still here so I could have a partner in crime. Here I am with a 5 year old going on 6 and I’m at a loss. I would give anything to have my sister here to help me [...]

    Ken Jennings

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    Most people know Ken Jennings, the big Mormon Jeopardy winner. Well, not everybody knows that my sister worked with him for a couple of years at BYU in the Tanner building. My husband is now a subscriber to his weekly trivia and it brings back such memories of hanging out with my sister and Ken. [...]

    Cafe Rio

    Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

    I’ve never been a huge fan of Cafe Rio. I always liked it when I went, but it wasn’t my first choice in Mexican food after Jacinto’s and Cabo came to Provo. My friend from Utah made Cafe Rio and brought us some last week and OH MY GOSH!!! I am addicted. After about 2 [...]

    Things are getting better. Thanks for the comments and emails! I appreciate it. I went to the beach with the kids today and it was just what the [...]

    If you’re wondering where I’ve been…

    Saturday, July 12th, 2008

    For those of you who knew and those of you who didn’t- I found out the end of May I was pregnant. Well, this past week I hit my 10 week mark. I started spotting on Tuesday- that night I knew something was going wrong- went to the ER Wednesday night- had an ultrasound and [...]

    Our Last Independence Day

    Friday, July 4th, 2008

    On this Independence Day oh-eight, we’re awaiting our country’s new fate.
    will we choose Barack or will we choose McCain? Doesn’t really matter, either way it’s the same
    Taxes will go up and my fuel gauge will go down, I can’t believe there aren’t more people around
    who see these clowns for who they really are, to go [...]
