Pizza and Wii Night

Several months ago, I worked a deal with my youngest brother to buy a Wii from him. It's kind of a funny story actually, because the reason he was willing to sell it to me was because my niece had just won another Wii that same week that he purchased this one. So he was willing to let me take this one off his hands, because really, who needs two Wii's?

Segue to a couple of nights ago, when I had some of the girls over for "Pizza and Wii Night". We ordered pizza, played the Wii, and had some birthday cake. My system came with the Sports Pack (Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Baseball), and Julie and Janeen gave me a couple of other ones, Mario Super Sluggers (since I'm the ultimate baseball fan), and Neighborhood Games (Horseshoes, Bocce, Shuffleboard, etc.) I'm very much looking forward to trying the horseshoe toss - my Grandma's cousin was a World Champion Horseshoe Thrower, and maybe that means I've inherited some of Cousin Red's skills.

It was really a fun evening, and I'm sure it was quite a sight to see a bunch of women of a certain age playing Wii Tennis. And really, who knew Wii Tennis was such a workout? Seriously! I think I've found my next workout obsession!

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.

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...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
