Don't Mess With Tracie!

In the category of don't mess with Tracie, let's just say that I take my Family History responsibilities perhaps a bit too seriously. Today in Family History Library, several of my committee members were there, working away and being anxiously engaged in their calling. A couple of nice-looking gentlemen came in, I think to read their scriptures beforehand, but it ended up turning into more of a flirt-fest. Now, I know our ward exists to encourage people in this endeavor. But NOT in my Family History Library. We have important work to do there. So - rather than keeping my mouth shut, I proceeded to interrupt and question them, asking if there was anything we could help them with, anything they wanted to work on, if not I needed everyone to be working. We had the work of salvation going on there, and it was important. Or something to that affect. I scared one of the poor fellows to the point that he right away dropped what he was doing and jumped on a computer and logged into FamilySearch. Whataya think? Too much maybe? Sigh... 

 Here I am, on the downward side of my ward's age range, and likely a little intimidating to some of the youngsters. But I want to be warm and welcoming, and encourage all those who want to be in the Family History library to come on in and get excited about their Family History and/or Indexing. Those poor men will likely never come into the Library ever again, what with Dragon Lady Tracie running the show. Oy vey! Heaven help the man whoever tries to flirt with me in the Library. Although after today's episode, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

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...
