80s prom and other tales from Park City

So this weekend, I voyaged up to Park City for the first time since December to go to prom and to pay homage to the decade of my birth – the 80s. I spent my weekend hotspringing, getting bombed (literally, by Heber high school hick-punks), socializing, recycling (yes, I brought my recycling all the way...

don’t you dare even mention the ‘B’ word

I mentioned last week that I was looking for a tacky prom dress. Specifically, I was looking for a tacky western prom dress. I got this beast for $5 at the thrift shop next door. I had the belt, boots, and hat already so luckily I didn’t have to pour my bank account into this...

a much-needed haircut

At 2 a.m. on April 28th, 2002, I cut my hair off in my bathroom. I had been at a bonfire with friends that night and there was a girl there whose hair I thought resembled mine too much. She was a rotten creature and I didn’t want any part of me to resemble any...

it’s about time

Anyone who has ever been shopping with me knows my distaste for plastic bags. I could rant for hours (and hours) about why people should boycott plastic bags. So it pleases me to no end to hear that China has now banned them. If only the United States would follow suit! I was first introduced...

the joy of cooking

I am so incredibly stoked to have my own kitchen again. So stoked that while in Minnesota, I bought five cookbooks. Yes, five (but they were each under ten bucks). Lunch today was soup. Homemade chickpea and spinach soup with garlic. It is an improvisation of a recipe in one of the cookbooks. I would...

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, I know it is last minute, but as you make your rounds tonight, I would appreciate it if I could be on your list of stops. Since we don’t really do Christmas in my family, I will have no presents to open in the morning unless you stop by. I’m visiting my mom,...

home sweet home

Almost 96 hours in, I figure it’s due time to introduce you all to my new home. So here we go. Welcome to Unit 2, my adorable little bungalow. Because it’s still quite unfurnished, your view in will be limited. But here is my kitchen. It is lovely. Please note the previously mentioned 7-Up crate...

settling in

I’ve now officially lived in canyon country for almost 48 hours… and so far it’s been pretty great. My place is tiny, but beautiful… and I have a feeling I will probably be staying here longer than my six-month lease requires me to. It’s still a bit of a mess, seeing as some primary pieces...

take that Park City!

Since taking my new job, I have always joked that I hoped Brian Head would get more snow than Park City this year (well, it wasn’t really a joke, I really did hope it, I just didn’t really think it would happen)… but well, since yesterday afternoon, the Head’s gotten over 20 inches (which I...

master shopper extraordinaire

With the exception of grocery shopping and outdoor gear and apparel, I am not much of a fan of shopping. But when all you can manage to do all day is cry while listening to The Jackson 5, shopping is the perfect cure. Though it was just what the doctor ordered, I still don’t like...
