Someone Died Today

Feeling brainless. I can’t write. I can barely think let alone type something pithy and interesting.
I am laying here in bed trying to think of what I want to say and all I can think is that I want to squirt more whipped cream straight from the can and into my [...]

Comparing the Polygamist Mormons (FLDS Church) with the Amish?

A great big shout out to the Life on the Run blog for it’s heartfelt and informative post of polygamy and plural wives.
I actually live VERY (frightening) near the FLDS community of Colorado City (otherwise known as Short Creek). **** It is not at all unusual to go into town and see one [...]

Marathon Mom has arrived!

OK, so I decided my little one needs a good mommy role model. Yeah, I would prefer to plop my ass down in front of TV and watch a good rerun of “Eureka” on the SciFi channel, and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, but what message would that really send?  No, [...]
