KSL GOLD MINE -- OTHER!

Found this on KSL. It's somewhere in West Valley City, Utah. I think it is going to be the next thing I build. It would be great in my Orem neighborhood.

And is $300 too much to pay for the moose head?

I have found a little oasis of delights in the desert of my life. Today I stumbled on the section called "OTHER". I never knew how much fun something called "other" could be. Amid the hundreds of posts of moving boxes and used carpet, there are a few gems. One day I should gather a few of the more interesting posts and write a collection of KSL short stories.

For example, I give you LaDean in Taylorsville and her Men's Diamond Ring. I'm not saying LaDean's ad is slightly suspicious, but LaDean's ad is slightly suspicious! Just putting it out there.

Robert's ad doesn't need any narration. He wrote his own short story with a photo of his infected incision. I think I am going to drop off some homemade bread at his house tomorrow. It's a sad and compelling world out there. It's not as happy as you would think in our Happy Valley.

Earwax on Swab

Don't wig out, man. Its just mini marshmallows poked onto a lollipop stick and dipped in butterscotch. YUM!!

Hey, I just realized I really need to get Melissa's carmel recipe. Melissa ... are you out there???

I know what you're thinking ...

You are thinking you wish you could pick out the perfect trim and door colors to go with this green. Quick, they want to paint tomorrow -- no pressure or anything!

(I am hoping that eggplant works its magic. Does anyone remember the eggplant I painted the walls of Kirsten's apartment for my final show?? That's a can of paint that I wish I had held on to. You might also remember that it was not only fabulous, but also that she was in RUSSIA on a mission when I had James Lyon paint her living room. Ahh, those were the days!)

Rocky Raccoon Gets the Tread

It's morbid, but true. This is the crime scene we drove past on our way home from Alpine. Marco turned around just to make sure the kids could get a good look. Poor little guy.



I can relate to this plastered fur ball. Lately I feel like I have been done in by paint too.


Please, if any of you out there in the blog-o-sphere drive past what looks like me on side of the road -- with a fatal stripe of paint across my body -- turn around and make sure you get a good picture. Best to start the search somewhere up Provo Canyon.

About Me

I avoid house work by field-tripping with my kids. I avoid my kids by blogging.
