Grand Opening

One of things I have missed most about living in the South has been Popeyes Cajun Chicken.  It's a major restaurant chain down there, and I remember several times going and getting chicken, biscuits, and dirty rice, and loving the grease and spicy cajun food. Healthy it ain't.  But fun it was, and over the years I have missed having access to those flavors.  But finally, I am happy to report that Popeyes has come to Utah. Say Hallelujah!

 Truth be told, we have had a couple of them here for awhile, but they were basically inaccessible to the majority of us folks. One was at Hill Air Force Base, and one recently opened at the Airport.  But now there is an actual restaurant available for the rest of us to go to, and this weekend was their Grand Opening.  So yesterday my friend Katie (who used to live in New Orleans) and I made the trek down to Utah County to stand in line and get our fill of cajun spice.  Generally I try to avoid Utah County, but in the case of Popeyes, I will for sure make an exception. After waiting in line for an hour, we successfully made it out of there with our Po' Boy sandwiches, red beans and rice, and cajun fries.  Sigh... And the rest is gastronomic history. Delish! And even better than I remember!

So good! It's probably a very good thing that it's down in Utah County so that I don't go there a few times a week... :)

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...
