My unhealthy sadness over Seal and Heidi Klum

January 25, 2012

As a middle-schooler, I obsessed over Seal’s song, “Kissed by a Rose.”  When it came on the radio, I would rush to hit record so I could have it on a tape to listen to whenever I so desired — which was a lot.  It took a few tries to get to the radio in [...]

Soaking up the sun… in January

January 20, 2012

Well I tell you what… this winter is really throwing me for a loop.
I don’t know what it’s like in your part of the world, but here it’s warm.  Not like let’s-go-swimming warm, but warm enough that my new winter boots are getting awfully jealous of my old flats.  And my flats are feeling just [...]

It’s All in How You Look at Things

January 7, 2012

I read a post the other day about women who live under the illusion that other women are perfect.  The writer, Sabrina, wrote about how she was still crying for no reason three and a half months after her baby boy was born.  She felt like she was the only one experiencing this, and pointed [...]

What’s in a name?

January 4, 2012

I have a distinct memory from when I was a little girl of standing in my backyard, whining to my mom that we should change my name to Sarah.  My mom told me again and again that we weren’t going to change my name, and that Rebecca was a perfectly nice name.  I responded by [...]

Let’s Try This Again: New Year’s Goals

December 29, 2011

The last New Year’s resolution I remember making — and keeping — was in middle school, when I resolved to never yawn with my mouth open again.  What?  It’s rude to throw out a big-mouth yawn when someone is talking!  I succeeded with that resolution — until I realized that when I yawn with my [...]

Salt Lake Acting Company’s “How I Became a Pirate”

December 12, 2011

We saw our second play put on by the Salt Lake Acting Company this weekend.  I really am impressed with these guys.  The first SLAC play I saw was The Persian Quarter, a story about the Iranian hostage situation in 1980.  That play had hardly any props and only four actors!  Even with such a [...]

Ghost Birthday Party

December 9, 2011

My cute little 4 year-old has a mind of her own.  She chooses… um… interesting things to become obsessed with.  Her current obsession?  Ghosts, or ghosts-es as she calls them.  NICE ghosts-es, she is sure to clarify.
So when I asked what kind of birthday party she wanted to have, she immediately chose a ghost party. [...]

And Now She is Four

December 6, 2011

This little girl just turned 4!

When she was a baby, I read about a birthday photo tradition in a magazine, and I have loved doing our own photo tradition.  The magazine suggested taking your child’s picture in the same chair every year as a cute way to show how your child is growing.  Since I [...]

One Expensive Pregnancy Test

November 29, 2011

If, by chance, you are a paranoid freak such as myself, and think three days of semi-nausea is a surefire sign of an unplanned pregnancy, know that all you have to do is develop kidney stone symptoms and get yourself to the ER where a pregnancy test will be performed before you get a CT [...]
