just a photo today as I’m busy taking care of sick children and a sick husband due to a stomach virus. Please, oh please, can we all get it as soon as possible so it doesn’t spread out for weeks? © 2007-2010 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my […]
The Nerd of the Herd
Building on my topic from yesterday I thought I’d post this very poorly written assignment from my English 111 class. It covers an incident that occurred while living in Miami. Maybe it will help answer Andalucy’s question: “Has there ever been a time in your life when your positive outlook failed you? When you felt […]
i ♥ nerds…& geeks…& even dweebs
Like my library catalog card I made? It totally describes me…only after reading this post you have to decide which one I am: a geek, a nerd, or a dweeb. Read the definitions. There is a difference! Though I willingly admit I have fallen into all three categories throughout my life. As mentioned previously my […]
Spud Nut
I do like other foods besides chocolate. Honest! 1. French Fries, preferably from Wendy’s. They’re even better dipped in a chocolate Frosty! 2. Baked Potatoes – plain and unadulterated with a dollop of butter and some salt and pepper. 3. Mashed Potatoes rich with sour cream and butter. 4. Cracker Barrel Hashbrowns 5. Homemade Country […]
Grand living
The Salt Lake neighborhood we lived in was grand. It really was a terrific place for families. There were so many kids to play with! Most were in our ward (church congregation) and we went to the same schools. Our church building LeGrand Ward was just a couple blocks up. Emerson Elementary was another block […]
Jolly fun
I lived in Salt Lake City for the first six years of my life, just two houses down from my paternal grandparents and about 8 blocks away from my maternal grandparents. Both sides of the family were close by with aunts, uncles and cousins providing constant entertainment. Being the oldest grandchild on my father’s side […]
Chiclets
Have you ever seen the tooth fairy? I haven’t but I’ve heard her. I lost my second front tooth (on top) and couldn’t wait to see how much money I would get the next morning. I was so excited I couldn’t go to sleep. I was laying on my side facing the wall when I […]
Reading, Glasses and Showing Off
What is your earliest memory? How old were you? What were you doing? Mine is sitting on my dad’s lap learning to read Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik. I was three years old. I couldn’t get enough of the written word. Still can’t. Reading has always been a favorite pastime. I believe that is […]
In the beginning . . .
My parents got engaged on Halloween. Scary, no? They were married just over a month and a half later. Why yes, that is a mauve tuxedo Hiram is wearing. Gotta love the ’70’s! Some would say that is a quick engagement. But they had known each other since they were eleven years old. My dad […]
Arsenic and Old Lace
As mentioned in my previous post, I LOVE Autumn (not fall, but autumn)! It has always been my favorite time of year. Its season is much too short, sandwiched between the heat of summer and the hard frost of winter. One reason I gave for loving this season is my birthday happens to be in […]
Summer Cottage in Babylon: Music Edition
Knock, knock, bang, bang, crash! The first major deconstruction project of my summer cottage in Babylon has been to go through my music – particularly what’s on my iPod. It was a bit difficult to begin with. I LOVE music. All kinds. But I realize that not all music is uplifting. By uplifting, I don’t […]
New Mormon.Org
I’m sure most of you have at one time or another run into Mormon missionaries. They’ve probably knocked on your door. Now you have the opportunity to reverse the role and “knock on the door” of Mormons through the internet. Want to know what we believe? Want to know how we live our lives? Mormon.org […]
A Summer Cottage in Babylon
Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along… Yup, that was me merrily going along my way when one day in my personal study I came upon this scripture in Isaiah “Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, […]
Personal Warning Rattles
Know what this is? When you hear it you know it’s a warning to flee quickly lest you be subjected to painful, venomous, even deadly, bites. It is an audible warning of a physical danger. But what of spiritual danger? Are there warning rattles we can attune ourselves to that if heeded will protect us […]
Curious? Snoopy? Inquistive?
Feel like being nosy or snoopy today? How about something more mild and just inquisitive or curious? Ask me. Come on. I know there’s probably something you want to know more about me, my family, my faith, our farm, etc. ☺ I’ll answer the questions throughout the week in various posts. And where was I […]
