Big Love

Lanky & Damn Sexy! WOW, who knew Mormon men could be so *HOT*. It makes coming to Utah take on new meaning.

In other news, congrats to the OU Sooners for kicking Utah State butt, 54-3 blowout

Weekend!

Here I am, still in the land of Mormon. I'll leave tomorrow evening for Montana, where the weather will be much cooler.

Not much going on, it's been a very quiet set of shows thus far. I'll probably have time today to put on the OU/Utah game and watch while I work. GO SOONERS!!!

Who turned on the heat?

So it's going to be another warm (make that HOT) day here in Utah. I guess I forgot how warm it can get. And how dusty and smoggy. It's smoggy enough to pass for L.A.
Of course, the fires burning out in Ogden don't help.

Temple Square is beautiful, though. I never got the courage up to ask anyone there if they'd ever watched HBO's Big Love.

Today should be an easy day. I didn't have to get up until 6:30am and the show should be over by 4:30pm.

On the road again

So busy season is back with a vengeance. :(

As I write this I am on the second day of a fifteen day work-related roadtrip. Current location - Farmington, UT.

Far too many days ahead of hotels, restaurants, USA today, and miles of blacktop.

The hotel "gym" is little more than one stationary bike and some 5lb dumbbells.

The pool is outdoors (which is nice, given the temps in the mid 80s) but there is lots of construction nearby, choking the air and coating everything with thick layers of crud. If I wanted to suffocate poolside, I'd head down to LA.

Anyway, I'll be here until Sunday and then it's off for Montana.

In my head today

Sunlight fall down on the fields
Sunlight fall down over me
Work all day, be all that I can be yeah-heh
Say I can say words only simple
Say I can say words only clear
But, oh, I can feel your heart is beating near. Yeah-heh
Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you
Give I can give love and attention
Give I can give all time away
Only to one heart I can give today.
Be I can be man full of color
Be I can be man black or white
But only to one heart I can be tonight
Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you


I once heard someone sing this song in a melodious and deep voice. I was charmed.

So, you ever get those thoughts in your head you shouldn't have?

Yep, today's one of those days.

The more you try to shake them, the longer and stronger they linger.

Perhaps I should change my tune to something more like

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

Female Teenage Suicide

Workaday Work Day

So it's just another day at work. More of the same ol', same ol'. *sigh*

I know I shouldn't be bitching but sometimes the drudgery of the same thing over and over again makes me want to...

to...



YELL OUT LOUD























Of course, with hubby in the office directly behind me that's not possible.

You see, he frowns on my bad language.

Oh well, back to the rat race.

of Tots

OK, so he's not a tot. More like a big ol' spud.

Our son.



He's 20.

and still in that stage where he doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up.

and, thankfully, still in college.

Unfortunately, he's gone through 3 changes of majors and lots of $$$ in the process.

I'm (we're) finding it very frustrating and no amount of family talks seem to help things.

Now he's living back at home after trying 1 year in an apartment with a room mate (whom he barely new before) who had absolutely NOTHING in common (black, gay, Jewish) with him (white, hetero, Christian). It's obvious he is not happy with the situation, but after racking up a whopping load of credit card debt he has no choice right now. (Did I mention at $8.50 per hr x 37 hrs he won't have a choice for quite a while?)

*sigh*

Back up on that horse!

OK, so I'm NOT literally getting up on a horse. I'm just getting back into this blog thing. I used to have one when it wasn't cool - back when only geeky adults and precocious 12 yr olds had 'em.

Anyhow, janie over at Reality Sucks brought up the topic, so I thought I'd try again and see how long it lasts this time.
