Sweet Disposition
I’ve been obsessed with this song since I saw (500) Days of Summer last year. Diet Coke and Temper Trap…could any commercial be better?
Depressed Bloggers Anonymous
Over the last few weeks, I have been catching up on my Google Reader. As I’ve skimmed and soaked in 1000+ blog posts over the last 3 months, I’ve found a common theme: depression. I read posts on Mormon Women Project, Blog Segullah, Mormon Mommy Blogs, FMH, Melancholy Smile, and other sites I love. I […]
Giveaway: $10 Restaurant.com Certificate
I am a total foodie, but in the most equal-opportunity way. I love home-cooked meals, greasy spoon diners, upscale bistros, BBQ joints, fish houses, sushi bars, fancy steakhouses, taco stands, and hole-in-the-wall ethnic spots. I post many of my reviews on my food blog, www.nicoleratesit.com. Unfortunately, my budget doesn’t keep up with food addiction. I […]
Is It Any Wonder?
Here’s another video that makes me smile now matter how bad my day is. It’s a mashup of Keane’s “Is it Any Wonder” with the Armi Danny video (Voted the worst video of all time). Anyone want to learn the choreography with me? Looks like a perfect talent show skit to me!

When I’m having a tough day, few music videos make me happier than “I’d Rather Dance With You” by Kings of Convenience. What do you watch/listen to while trying to get out of a sad funk? I’d Rather Dance With You (Thank you Brett for bringing this song into my life)
I Grit My Teeth and Fake a Smile
I grit my teeth and fake a smile And no one knows it all the while My life is spent in waiting rooms And stressing over copays due My back is screaming, feet are numb But to share my pain makes me feel dumb I pawn my treasures and count pennies To pay doctors bills […]
Who on Earth is Tarlov, and How Did I Get His Cysts?
Yesterday I went back to the imaging center for my second MRI of my lumbar spine. This time it was done with contrast dye, which I had a mild adverse reaction to (burning sensation, nausea, etc). Once my body calmed down after the dye was injected, the MRI was pretty simple. This afternoon the results […]
Irresistible and Fascinating, Just Like a Red Velvet Cupcake
You’re a special occasion treat — and you know it. For a cupcake, you’ve got major self-confidence. You aren’t just made with red velvet batter; your personality reflects the specialness of red velvet anything… from gold-trimmed theater curtains to expensive upholstery to an unbelievably lavish dress for a ravishing young princess. As a human, you’re […]
Sue’s Bloggy Brunch
One of the perks I’ve enjoyed while being back in Utah has been the opportunity to meet so many wonderful bloggers in the area. Do you realize how many of the top mommy bloggers in the country live within an hour of me? I’m not exactly sure how many, but it’s a LOT. One blog […]
