Crazy

I’m up late again. I’m feeling rebellious this week. I’m drinking egg nog and mentally refusing to make time to go to the gym. I watched Arrested Development instead of grading papers today. I am supposed to email the book selection for next semester’s classes. Instead, I’m going to play Tetris. I will probably eatContinue reading “Crazy”

My Brother Nick

Today is Nick’s 16th birthday. I was 14 when Nick came home from the hospital in his little stocking. He has been everyone’s favorite in our family from the day he was born. Tonight he is celebrating his birthday at a Vivaldi Concert. When he was a newborn, I used to lay him on myContinue reading “My Brother Nick”

Finding away to avoid doing work

I’m experiencing the post-Thanksgiving partum. Or posty thingy. Wrapping up Thanksgiving took a LONG time. It was worth it to have so many people in the house, but taking out the garbage yesterday was crazy and perhaps the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done. I won’t describe it. I rounded up a truck and someContinue reading “Finding away to avoid doing work”

Touring DC

After a great Thanksgiving, I took Jon, Mallorie and Ben on a tour of DC. Because time was short–I took them on a special tour of my favorite places in DC. We started at the LDS Temple. It was beautiful. We went through the Reflections of Christ exhibit.Next stop on the tour was the NationalContinue reading “Touring DC”

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was huge. Describing it will be difficult. But I will attempt it. Wednesday I cleaned. Thursday, I cooked a wicked tasty turkey. The guests started coming at about 2pm. We had a grand total of about 40 peeps come for dinner and dessert. We sat around huge church tables spread across the house. MyContinue reading “Thanksgiving!”

World’s Most Vain Post Ever

I wanted to post a picture of me with my new glasses. I realized that I’ve taken quite a few self portraits with my new Mac. So, I figured I’d show you the many faces of Eve. All these photos have been taken within the last 3 months. This is me with no make-up on.Continue reading “World’s Most Vain Post Ever”

Preparing for the Feast

Last year, Bri and Roger and I celebrated Thanksgiving dinner–just the three of us. It was great! And now we’re extending the tradition and expanding our numbers. We have 28 people coming over for dinner on Thursday. 28!! It’s so exciting!! I bought a 25 pound turkey. It is currently marinating on the deck inContinue reading “Preparing for the Feast”

Funny Website!

Gratitude for Midsummer

Those of you who have been in plays know that normally you rehearse every night of the week before you open a play. We literally rehearsed on Saturdays. That’s it. Some of the actors would get together and rehearse by themselves during the week–but we rehearsed as a cast once a week. We did 1Continue reading “Gratitude for Midsummer”

conflicting emotions

It could just be that I was really tired, but yesterday I felt very conflicted. The show went wonderfully. My goal was to give the volunteer actors a wonderful experience and help them to come closer to God through the arts. There were no fights, no divas. Everyone supported everyone and we had a greatContinue reading “conflicting emotions”
