Because

Because

My laptop got a makeover and now sports an aqua case and waterproof (fingers crossed) keyboard cover because I’ve been feeling an increased need to protect it because it’s new because the old one suddenly stopped working because a certain little boy peed all over it. Miraculously, the boy is still alive.  

Patience is a Virtue, But Sometimes Something’s Gotta Give

Patience is a Virtue, But Sometimes Something’s Gotta Give

Sometimes it just isn’t okay to wait 42.8 years/until your children are teenagers/for the millennium to use your ipod again/sleep more than three hours uninterrupted/expect “responsible” adults to do their jobs.  Instead of riding out what life is dishing, you have to charge at it hard. Fortunately, I’ve got a fair amount of spunk and some top notch googling skills, so watch out world here I come. To all my fellow warriors out there, keep up the good fight! PS…

Information Diet and a Related Dilemma

Information Diet and a Related Dilemma

We never really set food diet goals at our house, but this year we set some information diet goals. As much as I love technology, it’s sometimes shameful to realize how addicted and dare I say obsessed I can be with it. For 2012 Noel and I set some goals to free up some of our time and help us be more productive. Limit the number of times a day we check Google Reader. 90 minute email challenge (Check out…

Sometimes I Wish I Was Amish

Sometimes I Wish I Was Amish

It’s perhaps a bit shameful how dependent I am on things like the internet, especially since these types of technology are fickle and don’t always dig me quite as much as I dig them. A few summers back I had a computer at my summer job with a monitor that randomly blacked out. Nothing was ever lost from those instances and my job was only temporary, so instead  of hassling with IT  I just didn’t do anything about it. Then…

Power Surge

Power Surge

I hear this is a great documentary on the state of clean energy innovation. It’s tone more hopeful that you might think. Just wanted to give you something for your viewing pleasure to gear everyone up for Earth Day. Below is a 30 second preview. Check out the full episode on the PBS website.

Cardio-Bot Convert

Running is one of the biggest tags on this blog, so I know I don’t need to tell you I love it. For me, running has always just been part of life – something as necessary and natural as breathing. There are so many people I’ve met because of running, so many stories both life changing and minute that I could tell. (Any ideas on how I can convince Runner’s World that they need me?) Even my meeting and dating…

Recalculating

Recalculating

I’ve never really lived in a big city (Kaysville, UT; Green River, UT; Brigham City, UT, Logan, UT – not big cities). I had a brief stint in Salt Lake City, UT where I was born, but was too young to remember it. I also have a very poor sense of direction. These factors make me a little uncomfortable with my proximity to Denver. Half the time I can’t even figure out which way Denver is and Cooper is of…

…and we’re back!

…and we’re back!

It’s almost sad how much I need internet. I thought I could go without it for a week, but I’m too much of an internet junkie. I needed my email fix so bad that Cooper and I went on a walk with the ipod after only one day searching out open wifi connections. My pathetic days of standing under the tree at the very edge of my yard trying to pick up signal are over though. As of today our…

Moving again

Moving again

Today we loaded up the Honda and moved, again. Don’t worry, we put Cooper inside the car and not in the stroller on top. I’m glad those bike racks are finding good use. We found a little house to rent and are happily reunited with our belongings. And someone’s small hairbrush. If anyone is missing a small hairbrush let us know. Anyway, here is the new place. So along with that, we’ve had the fun excitement of changing all our…

Countdown to B-day

Countdown to B-day

Today Audrey officially entered her third trimester. To commemorate that, I though what would be better than to put up a countdown to the big day? However, nothing says the little guy is going to show up on June 1 as scheduled. So, I did a little research. It turns out that the actual birth dates tend to be normally distributed about the estimated due date (mean = -0.5 weeks, standard deviation = 2.12 weeks) according to these guys. (There…
