Sciolist in the City of Salt and Saints
The thoughts and ramblings of one little lady living near the City of Salt and Saints (Salt Lake City, UT)
A post about today. And Thursday. And a little bit of Friday. Today is Tuesday. That means it's online school day. We don't have online assignments yet. Teachers sent home some papers. Dom and Gabbi did them with Maeli and Sadie. They're the neighbor girls I hired as tutors. It was quiet for a bit. … Continue reading Hybrid school year, here we go
I found this random list in a sketchbook I scribbled in my freshman year at BYU. For this entry, I remember writing it while sitting in one of the desks at the back of the lecture room in the Joseph Knight Humanities Building where my student ward held sacrament meeting. I was sitting next to … Continue reading Mormons: A Talented, Peculiar People
I have several journals where I write personal, spiritual experiences. I’m the only one who gets to read these journals. Some of the stuff I write down, though, I find interesting and perhaps you might, too. So here’s a little “nugget” from an entry I wrote during a church meeting that I wouldn’t mind sharing. … Continue reading A Little Note on Enthusiasm
It’s been over ten years since I wrote this very short journal entry. I no longer remember what prompted me to write it, but I can tell you that it just seems to fit how I feel today… in a totally cheesy way and I don’t even care. Enjoy 🙂 7/23/99 Make Beautiful Music
More journaling fun from an 8-year-old Larrie. This was a fill-in-the-blanks page. How would you have answered when you were 8? I wonder how many of my answers have even changed at all. I HAVE LOTS OF FAVORITE THINGS. My favorite subject in school is Art. My favorite outfit is ___. The name of my … Continue reading Larrie’s Favorite Things
Continuing with my 8-year old journal, here’s an entry where I had to write all of the things I remembered about being little. It’s not a very long list. At all. But boy, those baths were memorable. There are lots of things I remember about being little. I’ll write them down now so I won’t … Continue reading Cleaning the Garage is the Best!
I found the coolest old journal of mine at my parents’ house the other week. It’s called All About Me. Did you ever have one of those journals where you fill in the blanks? It asks you questions, gives you lists of boxes to check and offers prompts to get you writing about different ideas … Continue reading My Weekly Schedule… When I Was Eight
I had a journal that I started writing in my creative writing class that I took my senior year of high school. I really didn’t like the teacher, but I did like that the class forced me to write in a journal again, after a hiatus of a couple of years. I tried to be … Continue reading A Brief Story of A High School Relationship
This post is meant for the entire internet, of course, but it's particularly "special" for Clancy. Here, my friends, is what one of my journal entries look like on a good day, followed by a journal entry written on Ambien. Non-medicated Journal Entry: Under the Influence of Ambien Journal Entry: What have YOU done on … Continue reading What Happens When You Journal On Ambien
The following journal entry is from one of my MANY camping trips to southern Utah. This trip, Karen, Alison and I went down ahead of the boys and set up camp. The boys left so late that they stopped in Cedar City to park and sleep for the night so we were all alone in … Continue reading The Flying, Springbar Tent
