Operation Dream Come True - Another Update

Another update on our plans for Operation Dream Come True. I did some playing around on the internet, looking for fun attractions in the L.A. area. As a result, we've booked a couple of tours that sounds like a lot of fun. We'll be going on the L.A. Deluxe Grand Tour that will take us to all the fun and kitschy Hollywood attractions - Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Bowl, the Kodak Theater, etc. The tour company will even shuttle us to and from our hotel, so we won't have to worry about parking. The movie buff in me can't help but be thrilled about this one.

We've also booked a dinner cruise from Newport Beach. Considering that Newport is my birthplace, I'm excited to see what it looks like now. Of course I won't remember anything from then, since we moved when I was so young. But it will be exciting nonetheless. Looking at the map, the harbor where we board the ship is only blocks away from the hospital where I was born, and I'm hoping for a photo op there. The cruise sounds pretty fancy - a three course meal, music and dancing. I'll make sure to have my motion sickness wrist bands and my dramamine in close proximity, just in case.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle... From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff. But nothing really excited me there. However, the outlet is located...

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

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...
