Not Prepared

How could a fictional movie leave me in a blubbering pile of tears?  Pretty easily it seems.  My roommate and I on our adventures this evening decided to take in a flick using the free movie passes that she received a year and a half ago.  The movie of choice, "A Fault In Our Starts".  Through the last half of this movie I'm not sure that I even had dry eyes.  The first sad moment hit and my eyes welled up and rivers of salty water and snot (yes, snot) ran down my face.  Was I prepared for this? Did I bring the needed reinforcements such as tissues to this movie?  No.  I was not a good boy scout, girl scout, or any other kind of scout with always being prepared.  That will teach me.  If someone tells me that I will most likely cry through a movie I should believe them and be prepared.

If I Had A Shop

For my birthday my sister took me to a wonderful cafe in Downtown SLC, Gourmandies.  They had wonderful food, beautiful pastries, and a great atmosphere.  The next month because I enjoyed it so much I took my mother there.  If I were to own a pastry shop I think it would be something like this one, not exactly, but close.  Their display case was colorful, diverse, and delicious looking.  From my small sample those two days I can say they are doing it right.

Thank you sis for introducing me!

Living Sparsely

Living on the move is a very minimal way of living.

Propositioned

The following story could be completely scandals, but it is not because the main participant is a 4 year old boy.

A couple of weeks ago I spent the evening with a wonderful family and as the night drew to a close it was time for the youngest boy to go to bed.  As he got ready for bed he asked me if I would sleep with him.  A smile crossed my face as I told him no.  He then asked again if I would sleep with him.  Though his begging was cute I once again had to decline.  At this point his mother started to tease me that I had now been propositioned twice to sleep with her 4 year old.  Oh goodness!  As the teasing continued he leaned over from her arms and he gave me a kiss.  He then got onto the bed, tipped over on it, and exclaimed "I've never tasted her before".  What a thing to say.  It is a good thing that he is adorable and has no idea what his is saying.

Even now I can't suppress my giggles.  What a night!

The Perfect Gift

Years ago when I was attending college I took a cake decorating class as part of my minor in Culinary Arts.  Since I took that class I was able to help out a good friend/member of my family and decorate her young son's birthday cake.

On Saturday I received a wonderful gift years in the making for my birthday as that young boy decorated a cake for me.  I was so touched and couldn't have been happier.  What a great gift and end to an amazing birthday dinner.

Hi World

It has been my goal to stay pretty vague on my blog and I have even gone so far as to not show my face.  Well all of that is coming to a screeching halt (at least the not showing my face part) because I have a very special blog post that really only works if you get to see the pictures associated to it so before I post that I would like to say hello world.

Turning Lane

Have you ever sat in the turning lane in the middle of a busy road?  While waiting to turn have you ever stopped focusing on looking for a gap between the cars and just felt the movement of the cars as the pass?  The world moving so fast around you.  It is like time stands still even with so much commotion and turmoil speeding past.  You feel like you could sit there forever and just let the world rush on by.   You realize you don't have to be caught up in the hustle.  You are okay.
