Extra Paint

I have some extra chalkboard paint sitting in my craft closet (yes, doesn’t that sound like a fun place?) and I just have an urge to paint everything. Walls. Shelves. Closets. Furniture. Boards. But we’re renting (plus that’s a lot of chalk board dust). So, I need your help for more ideas that aren’t as […]

Typeface Snob

T.J. + Katie + Vegas = Out-of-Control Weekend Okay, probs not because we’re Mormon. But it will be awesome. Tomorrow we’re hitting up the Neon Sign Graveyard with his graphic design buddies for a typography assignment. T.J.’s typography classes has us into font elitists. So that combined with shopping at Caesar’s Palace and a weekend […]

Adrenaline Rush

I sort of love driving in the snow on a road where nothing is in sight. That happened to me this morning. I slid just for a moment, but it gave me a bit of a rush. It reminds me of turning my lights off while driving on an open, dark road. I only do […]

We Cannot Turn Back

If you haven’t watched Martin Luther King, Junior’s “I Have a Dream” speech lately, watch it. It will really enlighten you. The literary devices of the speech are just incredible. Filled with allegories, allusions, and alliteration–this speech is truly inspired. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have […]

MOTD: Any Dream Will Do

Back in high school, I participated in a lot of clubs and organizations. I even played golf. Well, I was on the team. I don’t know if you could call what I did, “playing.” Anyway, I was actually the founder and president of one of these clubs. The Seinfeld Club. Yes. It came to me […]

Dreamer

Today, it came to me. I aspire to be: Mormon Martha. As in a Mormon Martha Stewart. Professionally (duh). As my bud Condoleezza told me today: Find your passion. Found it. So, now how do I make this my profession?

Sweet and Sour

I made Sweet and Sour Chicken this week. I was kind of nervous because I hate cooking with chicken. I’ve just had to many bad experiences with it and so usually I cook it until it’s burned and dry. But I decided to buy the expensive Tyson bag of chicken breasts and give it a […]

Russian Federation?

I have a fun analytics program for my blog. I love seeing where the visits are coming from across the world. Now, I’m sure the majority of those people outside of the U.S. are spammers, but it’s still interesting to look at. Here are a few random stats from today: Japan: 40 visits Russian Fed: […]

Follow the Prophet

I currently am taking a Living Prophets-Religion course. I really am loving it. The professor is very interesting and the class is perfectly structured. Yesterday, we talked about the the need for prophets in our world and then how we sustain all of our apostles and the prophet as “prophets, seers, and revelators.” It was such […]
