Been looking around Provo, Utah lately. Why? Well, I just got the job I really wanted at KBYU. It's in Provo. So I'll be moving there soon. Cool job, but the town seems somewhat lacking in many, many urban nuances. One being only one yoga studio in the whole town. Another is that there is only one health food store-and it might not even carry organic produce. All those people consuming pesticides. And do they even recycle? Do they even have one house "off the grid"? Sigh... I did, however, notice they do happen to have a pilates studio, so that is cool, and some great mountainage, and there is an art center on Center Street. So it's not completely hopeless. Hopefully I'll come upon a house with soul, and roommates with character in the next couple of weeks.

Honestly my life is changing so fast I can hardly grasp exactly what I'm moving toward.

In another note, I do want to add the word of the day: Humanure. Confused? Watch 30 Days with Morgan Spurlock tonight on FX.

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way.

We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
