On Friday for our date Colin and I went to The Mayan. I mentioned earlier in my blog that I'd never been, and when Colin read that he was shocked and decided he had to take me (another perk of blogging). I'd had a tough day and it was a huge relief to leave the [...]

Tonight I went to the LDS General Young Women Meeting. I was surprised that they had neither a recitation of the scripture (D&C 121:45) or anyone singing the song (Dearest Children, God is Near You) they had asked us to memorize for the meeting. I attended the live broadcast at our local Stake Center, but many [...]

I just finished reading my book for book club this month. It's called The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 and was written by Christopher Paul Curtis, who won a Newbery Medal for the book. The novel is narrated from the point of view of a little African American boy named Kenny Watson, who talks about his family's experience going on [...]

I looked up www.bettycrocker.com today. I was thinking about how I liked my Betty Crocker Cookbook better than my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but that I never use Betty because my youngers siblings tore it up years ago when I was home. So, I thought I'd look it up and see how much it [...]

His theory contends that as humans meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set hierarchy.
Basically, the idea is that if you're hungry or can't breathe, you won't be [...]

I was tempted to call this post "My Sister, Ned," because we call her Ned in our family. Emily even calls herself Ned on occasion. She's not gay, nor manly at all. In fact, she's very feminine. Ned is creative, and in keeping with her creativity she encouraged creative nicknames. We went from Emily to [...]

My dad emailed me this article tonight. It's nice to hear nice things about Mormons in the news, especially with all the grumpiness going around because of Mitt Romney opposition. Thanks David Neeleman for being a good example, even when you do make mistakes! I flew on JetBlue once and loved it, by the way (the only reason I haven't flown [...]

Today I was trying to help Colin design a web page in Joomla! I read the whole manual (186 pages) and still didn't catch on to half of it because I don't "speak" code. Every program has a different set of jargon for the same stuff. Like, in WordPress they have "plugins" but in Joomla! [...]

Tonight we had an awesome Beehives activity about patriarchal blessings. The girls invited the Bishop to talk to them about them and they asked the one Beehive in our class who has had hers talk about her experience. It was great, and if any of you are trying to brainstorm ideas for Young Women activities, [...]
