I am still reeling from Friday night’s Missy Higgins/Justin Nozuka/Lenka concert. If you haven’t listened to their music yet, DO IT!Last week, when I was lost in Gwinnett County, I found a little cheap jewelry shop, 99 Sense Jewelry, where everything is only $1.00! (I guess the extra penny is an administrative fee) Bumper Sticker […]
On Sunday, Georgia was slammed with a crazy winter storm. The weekend had been particularly rainy, converting around noon into a wintry mix, into a snow flurry. The snow was at its worst just as we ran out the door to church. Church was canceled after Sacrament Meeting, as well as all meetings for the […]
We’re still dealing with a major ant problem, and we’re waiting for the condo association to get their act together. Today when Rosie went to take her allergy medicine, the bottle was swarming with ants! Who knew that ants went nuts for Hydroxyzine? Ewwwww!
Viva Voce: My choir from 2002-2006 If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE to sing. I love the feeling of accomplishment of polishing a piece that seemed impossible when first sightread. I love the anticipation of a performance. I love the camaraderie of a tightknit ensemble. And of course, I love […]
Lately on Sundays, I’ve been trying to listen to music that is more spiritual than my usual fare. I grew up on the classical music and Mormon Tabernacle Choir, of which my Uncle David and friend Neil are currently members. It’s still a dream to someday be a part of the Mo-Tab. Last weekend, I […]
LENKA + JUSTIN NOZUKA + MISSY HIGGINS = The most perfectly balanced and enjoyable 3-act concert lineup I’ve ever experienced Last night, Taylor and I went to ATL Center Stage to see a concert I’ve been anticipating for months. I have been an avid fan of Missy Higgins since 2005, when she opened for Anna […]
Anyone else out there filing taxes in multiple states? Anyone going crazy with it?Taylor lived in MI Oct 2007-Oct 2008, but all taxes for 2008 were calculated and paid for CA (where he was living when he was hired by his airline in late 2007) Despite numerous requests, his airline refused to let him update […]
A few months ago, I bought an extra ticket to the New Kids on the Block concert on March 17, 2009 in Greenville, SC. The friend I hoped would join me has decided not to go. It’s a GREAT seat…first row balcony. I’m selling it for $50. My plan is to drive to Greenville from […]
We have been having a persistent ANT problem since we moved to Atlanta. Ants on the walls, ants in the toilet bowl, ants in our beds, ants on the windows. Our landlord has been working with the condo association to schedule a pest control company to come in, but it hasn’t happened yet. We’ve been […]
As the wife of a First Officer pilot, I’ve felt some disappointment about the reduced media bravado for First Officer Jeffrey Skiles. His role in the successful splash landing on the Hudson was just as vital as Captain Sully’s. A CA/FO relationship must be a well-oiled machine, as any pilot will tell you. “Pilot flying” […]
