Day 22: The Contents of My Purse

By -
Mmm...graham crackers with frosting are so delicious!!

I would love to not carry a purse - to be unencumbered by a bag constantly hanging from my shoulder, prone to falling off and being forgotten. However, I live life on the go and always need to have everything with me, so a purse is rather a necessity. Let us then examine what is apparently necessary to be with me at all times (or at least today)...1. Mini-wallet/card case, holding all my ids, money, gift cards, bank cards, and other flat, important things.

2. Regular wallet, holding other money, change, concert attendance cards and odds and ends that don't fit in the mini case. Considering how rarely I open this, I sometimes question why I have it.

3. Pencil holder, replete with pens, pencils, highlighters, extra lead, a mini stapler, earplugs, treble cleff shaped paper clips, and erasers.

4. flash drive

5. two sticks of chapstick - one regular, one cherry. and one tube of mint lipgloss.

6. keys. Lots and lots of keys.

7. my clicker for music history

8. day planner

9. cell phone

10. allergy meds

11. zinc lozenges and ricola drops

12. a kazoo

13. ice breaker mints and one starlight peppermint (no mentos?!?!)

14. real estate listing for the house I put an offer on (!!!!!!)

15. hawaii coconut lotion

16. ibuprofen/other meds

17. empty baggie from my lunch (walnuts, tomatoes, and cheese)

18. id badge/fingerprint clearance/lanyard for my internship

19. sunglasses

20. letters from friends! (put into purse on the way from the mailbox)

21. invitation to the Mesa Temple's Easter pageant

Reanimation

Well, it's been a hot minute since we've been here, hasn't it? More like a hot almost-half-a-decade. How embarassing. Live, blog, live again! I am here to resuscitate you! And I'm impressed with myself for spelling that right on the first try, because I haven't had to type anything at all in so long. Or write. Being a mom of two tiny toddlers is a good way to make you lose all the skills you thought you'd mastered (like speaking in complete sentences and using a pencil) and making you competent in a lot of new categories, like "maintaining a soft voice and pleastant expression while repeating yourself ad nauseum" and "picking up 50 noodles one by one off the floor because the broom would just smear them everywhere." Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, blogging. I've found myself with an itch to start writing again, and I remembered that I used to write on here quite frequently, so I thought I'd give it another shot. We'll see if

Day 3: My First Love

I was home, eating dinner, and done with my homework by 8 pm tonight! Delight! This means I can actually sit down, relax, and take some time to blog before studying, and I might actually get to sleep at a decent hour. I've got my steaming mug of creamy hot cocoa and a package of ho-hos, I'm good to go! I admit that today's blogging challenge left me quite perplexed. My first love? What on earth will I write about? There are so many answers! This is largely due to the limitations of the English language (which I mentioned in point #3 a few days ago), which allows us to use "love" for all manner of things and dilute its meaning. Yes, there are more options than exist for "sorry," but culture dictates that rather than saying, "I really enjoy, delight in, like, find charming," etc, we say, "I love it!" So, I started thinking. What are my options here? Well, the Sunday School answer is always Jesus. I don't mean that in jes

My First Menu Plan

By -
I'm really rather anxious to start a new blog, now that I'm all married and stuff.  A grown up, big girl, married woman blog.  Where I talk about how great life is with my husband as we learn to smush two lives into one, and do domesticky things like post my menu plans and talk about budgeting and making my house a home and whatnot.  And occasionally still ramble on nonsensically and make up words. Really, though, JW and I are quite happy, and the point of this post is to post my menu plan.  It's a thing I'm attempting - as well as very moderate couponing.  And by that, I mean actually using coupons.  No extreme couponing here.  The only reason I'm posting this is it gives me a way to keep myself accountable by having it out there, and I can link to recipes if necessary. So, the as-yet-unapproved-by-John list is: Saturday lunch: with mom and dad (Costco samples!) dinner: lentil tacos Sunday lunch: sandwiches dinner: chili cheese tater tot casserole, John's b
