First Place!

The Major League baseball season is upon us, and I am thrilled to say that the Boys in Blue are in 1st Place in the National League West, and at 16-6, are off to their hottest start since 1983.  The offense is smoking (Matt Kemp for MVP!), and the pitching has been better than expected.

Like any ballplayer, I'm superstitious, and I'm convinced the good fortune is all because I've been changing into my lucky Dodgers T-shirt (purchased at Dodger Stadium no less) and wearing it on game days. I've come to this conclusion because the games they've lost have been the days I've missed wearing it. Coincidence? I think not.  I'm also convinced that the season will be helped tremendously if I not only wear the t-shirt on game days, but also if I don't wash it (of course another reason for not washing it could be that I'm afraid it will shrink on me and I'll have to lose another 15 pounds to fit into it - but I digress).  So for those planning to visit this summer, be prepared for an overly ripe blue t-shirt.  It's just me doing what I can to keep the mojo going.

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).
