Friday Fun

When I met with my Doctor a couple of weeks ago, she specifically prescribed to me that I have more fun and enjoy life. What with my work and temple schedule, that is something that has been in somewhat short supply for me recently. But this past Friday I took the day off and took her up on it.

 Among other things that day, I went for a morning walk around Holladay with my good friend Stephanie, and later that evening, I met up with my friend Robin for dinner at the local Soho Food Truck Park. It's a great spot in Holladay that brings in 5 or 6 different trucks all at once, and folks can come eat and sit and visit. We ordered Quinoa Salads and bottles of water from a Peruvian truck that I really like, and sat on the lawn while we ate. 


After dinner we walked down to the local discount movie theater for another showing of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2". Then to finish things off, we grabbed a sundae from the DQ before walking home. 

 (On a side note: Can I just tell you how awesome it is to have a DQ down the street? There are so few DQ's here in the valley, and I love that I live so close to one.)

 I ended up getting all my steps in for that day, and then some, and I actually had a little fun while I was doing it. Just what the Doctor ordered.

New 'Do

For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time

Tidying Up

If you've been watching Netflix much lately, you've probably seen the new series "Tidying Up", with Marie Kondo. She's an expert in cleaning, tidying, and storing stuff, and her method is quite inspiring. I enjoyed the show so much that I ordered her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up", and spent several days trying to get my house more in order. Not that I'm a hoarder - I have a basically tidy home. But the Kon-mari method teaches you to look at your belongings and ask yourself if each particular belonging brings you joy. If it doesn't, it's time for it to move on. I went through all my clothes first, followed by my books and DVD's, followed by the office, followed by the kitchen and laundry room. Whatever didn't bring me joy or a happy memory went into the pile. And when all was said and done, I ended up taking an entire car full of stuff to the local Deseret Industries, to hopefully be re-purposed for someone else to find

Joy in Mudville

There's joy in Mudville this week. Thanks to the addition of key players like future Hall-of-Famer's Greg Maddux, and Manny Ramirez, my beloved Bums are over .500 for the first time this season and are 3 1/2 games up over the Diamondbacks. Manny is on a tear, and if all holds together, the Dodgers will win the National League West.
