All right, there were three gifts that I couldn't not share from Christmastime. Two are hilarious. One was really touching. First, the touching. My sister-in-law Mickelle (whose blog you should definitely read) made this for me and Lolly: The subtitle says:...

to write this post. That's the time limit I'm giving myself so that I write something. See, I'm doing that thing where I don't post in a while and I start putting pressure on myself to not post anything unless it's really good because it's been so long, and...

This is the Third Annual The Weed Electronic Christmas Holiday Card!!! You'll note that it's the 31st of December. As always, this is a purely strategic move! It's to make sure you're not so saturated with Christmas cards that by the time you see this you no longer...

Okay folks, first things first. Here is an article I wrote for the Deseret News about why I love the LDS Church's new website about homosexuality. I enjoyed writing it because it let me get retrospective about the last six months in a way that was interesting to...

Last night my house became a vomitorium. (The fake definition. Not the real one which innocuously means a type of passageway.) As I helped Anna throw up into a bowl, instead of being repulsed or annoyed or bothered, I found myself grateful. I'm so grateful that,...

It's December first. That means there's one month left in 2012. (Are you so impressed right now with my math skills and calendaring talent? Cuz, whoa, I should probably be an executive secretary or a physicist or something. 12 minus 11 is ONE y'all. ONE.) What this...

Before the check-in, I want to share a couple of pictures from the AMCAP conference. I would have shared them in the post, but they didn't get uploaded in time, but I promised I would so, BOOM. More awesome photos. Here is my very first picture with fan girls: These...

This is a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago. When we had lice and RSV. Not sure why I didn't post it. Probably because life was CRAZY at that point. So, since getting home from LA last week we've had some fun times. Exhibit A: Lice. Have you ever had lice in your...
