So, I was at Target the other day scouring the clearance maternity racks. I had a $3 coupon for Liz Lange Maternity in hand (You can print one from their website if you’re in the business for maternity apparel. I think it doesn’t expire until the end of February.) and was bound and determined [...]
Becopotty: It’s a completely biodegradable toilet. It’s designed to be used starting with really small babies (for parents more dedicated than me that practice elimination communication), but I’ve read several reviews of people that used it with their toddlers. The seat can last for multiple kids and when you’re all [...]
If I had to make a list of my personal vices, I’m pretty sure jealousy would be pretty high on the list. The other day Noel sent me a link to an article on The Simple Dollar that helped me rethink the way I want to view situations. I’ve always known that being [...]
Let’s be honest. I think about blogging a lot, more than is probably normal. I find myself composing as I fold laundry or drive the car. I jot down ideas on scratch paper and have a slew of drafts that I’ve lost interest in or never deemed publish-worthy. To be fair though I’ve been composing [...]
Interesting tidbit: if you enter your address at walkscore.com you can get a score out of 100 indicating how walkable your neighborhood is. Our current place scores a 26, which is generous since it counts a butcher shop as a grocery store and a Truss factory as the nearest shopping destination. Our DC [...]
Lately, we’ve been spending a bit more time around driven, career-oriented professionals. As we pass on the streets and rub shoulders on public transit, I’ve noticed some things. Generally speaking, the men seem to be more polite. I’m not saying all the women in this city are jerks and all the men are chivalrous, but [...]
Going to school can be a drag. Classes are often boring and pointless. Tests are grueling and frequent. It has been more frigid lately on campus early in the morning with the relentless canyon wind chapping and freezing the entire way to class. Then there is the hill. It must have a grade of at [...]
So today I went into the men’s bathroom on the fourth floor of the Engineering Building here at Utah State. Apparently since I’ve been there last, there’s been some redecorating. Take, for example, this lovely little number on the coat rack:
Actually, that was the only redecorating, but I still thought it was [...]
Okay, so I guess I am the last person on earth to see this, but it is absolutely hilarious, so if you’ve already seen this don’t worry about it. This music video shows much more talent than all of those you will see on MTV or whatever. It’s a good thing this wasn’t around when [...]
Apparently Batman is a student at Utah State University and is too cheap to buy a parking pass. Since we live so close to campus, many people will park on the street in front of our house during school because they don’t need a parking permit to do so. However, we have never had a [...]
