Weekend Recapitulations

Where do I begin with this weekend? Went to Muse Music to listen to a local band "Saint Sebastian's School for Wicked Girls". They aren't the best I've ever heard, but surprisingly not bad for Utah County-and what a cool name. Muse is an old record shop off the Center Street in Provo with a room in back for local bandage on the weekends.

Muse gets an A+ for audience participation. A hippie couple danced next to us-the guy was wearing a bathrobe (awesome). They danced care-free along with many others in the crowd. Some young hellions up front let loose, twisting and gyrating with robotic motion, during the pre-Saint Sebastian band, "The Brobecks". They were even more entertaining than the band. I was so glad I wouldn't be the only one dancing. It's just no fun if no one else can let themselves enjoy the moment.

Smitty's car died and after the show I let him use my jumper cables-cuz I'm nice.

Yesterday I went with my roommate to see "Pride and Predjudice". Can I just say I am so in love with love right now? I want my own, personal Mr. Darcy to come walking through the early morning fog and to say, "Just one word and I shall be silenced forever" and for me to answer without saying anything because it means he hasn't been silenced and that I am his and he mine and we embrace at the perfect moment and have the perfect movie kiss, in the rain, in the meadow, and we are both so in love. Oh, I could just die and be happy. It was a perfect movie. I cannot even compare it to the A&E version, though. It's much more condensed, but so so so much more romantic.

I loved it too. :) And I'm glad it's easy to keep separate from the BBC version. Funny we were in the same theatre.

That was so weird. We were in the same theater in Sandy, at the same time, in the same section, and didn't even know each other went, and didn't even see each other, and didn't even realize we were both there until yesterday at church.

MJ-funny thing is I didn't even pay attention to your spelling, either.

By the way, I love the all of you.

Playing house

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. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. 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
