As it turns out, we’re on page three on Google for the search “circumference of a lacrosse crease.” Way to strike a blow for thinking indeed.
A chip off the old block
So, I had this moment yesterday. I was standing perched atop a ladder with a staple gun in one hand and a length of phone line purchased from Lowe’s in the other. The clouds in the sky were dark and angry and I could feel a few rain drops hitting my face. Minutes earlier, I had carefully stripped the insulation from each of the tiny wires on one end of the phone line with the wire cutters from the tri-fold…
An Ode to the Cat
Even though I don’t miss sweeping up cat litter and vacuuming cat fur, I am occasionally disappointed to not have anyone waiting for me when I come home. The cat flew to Alaska a little over a week ago to be reunited with Noel’s mom. Here is a poem I composed in her memory: left …
Adventures with Lacrosse
I have always loved school and learning, but recently I feel that some of my required classes have made me feel, well dumber. A couple of weeks ago I took a test and was asked the question: What is the circumference of the crease of a lacrosse field? I thought the question was odd since all of the information we had been given in class only gave the radius of the lacrosse crease; however, I did take 9th grade Geometry…
Making My Mom Proud
My mom is an excellent photographer and artist (among many other wonderful traits). I, on the other hand, have never felt really artsy. With my winnig photo in the school’s literary magazine I’m wondering if a little of her talent rubbed off (just a little). Thanks mom.
Isn’t it Ironic . . . don’t you think?
There are so many time in life when those words from Alanis Morisette’s song come to my head. In some ways I think it might be the theme song to my life. Recently I entered my school’s annual creative writing contest for the fifth year in a row. I have never won anything in this contest and as an English major I feel that winning writing contests is proof that I actually know what I’m doing. This was the last…
I shouldn’t be awake this early
It’s a beautiful spring morning here in Logan. Well, not exactly. I’ve been here at work since 4am this morning babysitting a test and I’m just surfing the web, attempting homework and listening to NPR. I know, that’s lame. I just thought I’d share with you all the pearls of wisdom I’ve found: Adult Americans (me too) spend an average of 8 hours a day in front of some sort of screen. I’d suggest going outside and smelling the flowers…if…
Spring?
Even though it’s supposed to snow on Monday (boo), we changed our background to reflect our positive outlook on life and to celebrate the first day of spring (today). Additionally, Noel and I left freezing cold, snowy Logan and went down to Los Angeles, CA for our Spring Break/Anniversary. Noel went to LA on his mission (over 3 years ago . . . ) and it was his first visit back. I was excited to meet some of the wonderful…
Be So Careful
Earlier this month was my mom’s birthday. We thought as hard as we could to come up with the perfect gift for her. My mom cares about a lot of people and has been known to worry a bit. Her signature phrase in an effort to show her care and concern for our well being is “Be so careful.” So, we thought what better gift could we give to my mother than the ability to constantly remind the people she…
Mormon Messages Videos
So the other day I was looking for something on the LDS.org website and I saw that they recently started a YouTube channel: Mormon Messages. I found the videos to be very good and thought I’d share them with you. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites, but they’re all good. Enjoy.
