Single Adult Activity

Last evening, my friend Robin and I went along to my first Single Adult activity. For the uneducated, in the LDS church "Single Adult" means older than "Mid-Single Adult". In other words, because of my recent birthday, I've advanced past my mid-single-adultdom, into single-adultdom. Thankfully I had a friend with me, or I doubt I'd have gone on my own. As it was, we were the youngest ones there. 

 But it ended up being an ok time. The event was held up Millcreek Canyon, at a placed called Camp Tracy. The first blessing was when we walked in, and I was greeted by a sweet woman who I'd had the great pleasure of attending a Family Home Evening at her and her husband's home earlier in the summer. I'd had such a good time with them, and it was so nice to see her there, and her husband, and have them remember me. It really helped start the evening out right for me.

 After that, we had a nice catered BBQ dinner from Dicky's BBQ. And after dinner, terrific entertainment from a group called Annie's Romance, who played Irish and Scottish music. They were really fun, so check them out on Facebook and the Internet! And on a side note, their leader is a local actor named Marvin Payne, who LDS folks would recognize from a lot of LDS films (he was the Dad in "Saturday's Warrior", just to name one).

So, it ended up being a pleasant evening, and we lived to tell the tale. It remains to be seen how frequently I'll participate in these events, but it was a good start.

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...
