Old Pewtah

So you all know about my new pewtah.  Well, even though I have the new one, there was still a question of what to do with the old one.  I mean, they're generally not something you just throw out, and they probably shouldn't be taken to the DI.  But this evening I'd like to report that the old pewtah has finally left the building.

One of the main issues was that I didn't have a clue how to "wipe" it clean and erase all my files and programs.  Thankfully, I work in the Tech world, and have smart computer guys available to me.  One of the guys told me how to download a program that would solve that problem.  So this afternoon, over the course of a couple of hours, the machine was wiped clean.   Hooray!

Once the machine was wiped, there was still the issue of what to do with it.  I went online and did a little searching, and come to find out, Staples will take your old Dell electronics and recycle it - for FREE.  So, I hauled everything out to the car, and then off we went to the closest Staples.  Ten minutes later, I was out of there, minus the old pewtah, and feeling very eco-friendly.  That was easy.

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).
