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.

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...

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...
