Sundance 2014

Last night some friends from the ward and I headed down to Sundance (or as I like to call it, Bob's Place) for a production of "Fiddler on the Roof", and theater under the stars. Being as I was a little gimped up, it was quite a journey. We decided to take the long way around and go through Heber City, which is a much prettier route.

 First we stopped off at this awesome joint, Billy Blanco's, to get some chow. It's like a Hard Rock Cafe for Car and Motorcycle buffs. Lots of rock music, lots of bikes, and lots of vinyl and chrome. Totally fun.


I know I'm usually a veggie girl, but after a bit of a rough day I was in the mood for some meat, so I ordered the carnitas tacos, and coleslaw. I must say I highly recommend both.

 After a yummy dinner, it was on over to Heber, and down Provo Canyon, to Bob's Place. It was a gorgeous evening, and the show was awesome. The actor playing Tevye was absolutely incredible. Alas, no Bob sightings, but I did get to see some other good friends who were sitting nearby. 

As you should all know by now, you can't take me to a musical without me singing along, and so I usually try to warn everyone in advance. And last night was no exception. But the folks around us appeared to be good sports, and the lady behind us even joined in. Fun times all around.

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...
