The plans, they are a changin'

But they're changing for a really good reason! University housing somehow managed to find an apartment that's available for us next Tuesday, September 12. That means no temporary apartment, no storage for a month, etc. We're still going through with the move on the schedule that we had planned, since we've already arranged for our utilities to be shut off here this weekend, and I have plane tickets, and Master Fob has to be there on Monday for his job. We'll just get to stay in a hotel for Monday night (well, Master Fob gets to stay in a hotel for a few nights). We actually have a real, confirmed address and we're going to be able to move right in. Whew--I think this is the craziest move ever! (Hopefully it's still not going to be as bad as the time my family moved from California to Idaho and all five of us kids managed to get the stomach flu at some point during the three-day drive).

But, on the bright side, (and there always is one--sometimes it is the bottom of the pan everyone is barfing into...)um..anyway, that bright side: we got to stop for the barfing right in front of a big mountain in northern Nevada that had rocks formed into the shape of the letters "BM" and so we called it "Barf Mountain". I think it really stood for Battle Mountain, but if my city's initials were also the common term for an smelly bodily function, I'd probably think of some other symbol to put on the mountain in giant white letters.

How nice that they pulled through!

ESM-My daughter puked at BM last summer. Crazy.

Foxy, good luck with the move, the plane flight and the rainy weather.

If you are in the market for things to occupy Sboogie, Target had all their school supplies clearanced the last time I was in there if you needed to enhance your supply of washable crayons and markers, and I found this cool magnetic book at Barnes and Noble on clearance as well.

Wow. I have some really good friends in Battle Mountain! I had no idea we all barfed there. I wish I could've told them that when I'd met them. They would've loved it!!
Yaay!! A house for the FOBs!! Lhamdulillah!!

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Living with ideals

The first thing on my agenda in Davis was a lunch with some of the current graduate students. One of them asked me a question about my last name and my heritage, to which I replied that it was my husband's last name. That got me some fairly strange looks. Then there was the fact that I didn't order coffee after lunch with all of them. And then there was the awkwardness (more than once during the last few days) of trying to explain why I lived in Spain for over a year and didn't see any movies, go to any plays, or study at the university. Oh, and the fact that I don't drink wine and even though I'm not quite thirty I have been married for almost seven years and have two kids. Man, I am such a weirdo. I lived in Utah for so long that I became very comfortable in not having people think some of the things I do are strange. It was challenging this week to be back in an area where people questioned my choices and I had to explain "I'm a Mormon" (yeah, I kno
