Survival: It’s a Party!
Boy, this story about my Survival experience has turned into quite a saga! If you are just discovering my blog, this post will make a lot more sense if you read the first four posts on the subject (just do a search for “Survival” in the box to the right). I don’t think you’ll be bored […]
The “Problem” with Bloggers
I find that there are two types of blogs that I might read – the kind I stumble on after doing a search for a recipe using some obscure ingredients I found in my pantry or when I search for instructions on how to (insert the DYI project of your choice here). For that type […]
Cujo Food
Have you ever read the book Cujo by Stephen King? If you haven’t (and you’re a Stephen King fan), then stop reading my blog right now and head to the library or bookstore to pick up a copy. You can come back and read my post after you’re done if you’re so inclined. Otherwise, be […]
Urchin vs. Urchin
When I was a rambunctious urchin of about eleven or twelve-years-old, my parents took my sister and me on our first vacation that involved air travel – a visit to Hawaii! I discovered that I LOVED air travel –the bumpier, the better – and our flight was turbulent. I remember walking up and down the […]

When I was between the ages of 12-18-years-old, it seemed to me that my […]
Spiders May Have A Contract Out On Me
I’ve got a thing about spiders…and when I say “thing”, I mean I don’t like them…at all. I guess you could say I have a bit of arachnophobia. Speaking of, have you ever seen the movie by that name? I just had a mini flashback and it wasn’t pleasant! They billed the movie as a […]
Mom’s Fanny Pack
My mother is a woman who believes in always being prepared – in fact, she once published a book about emergency preparedness that was quite a hit with the Mormon crowd. Part of this desire to be prepared may be because of her Mormon upbringing, as the Church teaches its members to be self-sufficient in […]
Survival: What the Hell is a “Water”?
I was online the other day and stumbled on a map of Utah and one name jumped out at me: Strawberry Reservoir. This was because that particular location was the final camping spot in my “Survival” experience when I was a teen. If this is the first post you’ve read about Survival, make sure you […]
