Last Saturday I went to the Utah Arts Festival in downtown Salt Lake. I love this event, mainly for the free music, which is almost always independent and alternative in nature. I also love all that gorgeous art too, but lord knows I can’t afford any of it right now. Even though I’m dying to […]

Broken Tailbone Adventures Continue
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a broken tailbone. Not the most glamorous of injuries, but I have to admit it’s a great non-starter if I want people to leave me alone while getting my mail at the post office. Person at PO whose name I can’t remember: Hey Stacy, long time, […]
Graduation Advice to the Daughter I Never Had
Last Monday night I had the wonderful opportunity to give the keynote address at the Park City Woman’s Athenaeum Club Mother-Daughter Tea honoring the 2013 graduation of Park City High‘s young women seniors. Usually the speaker is an alumnus or alumni mom (neither of which I am), so I was surprised (yet honored) when I […]
My Perfect Date: SWM With a Strong Stomach and an Ironic Sense of Humor
Being divorced for almost a year now, I’ve been asked by more than one online dating website to try out their services for free and then document the resulting zany adventures on my blog. I’ve yet to take advantage of these anomalous, yet generous, offers. Not because I have an ethical standard that prohibits me […]
How You Know When A Guy’s Not Gay
We’ve all seen the infomercials for the Shake Weight. And if you haven’t, surely you’ve laughed at them when they show up in film clips on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno or The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. But if you’ve been living in a sewer for the past couple of years and don’t […]
Movies That Inspire My Kind of Chick Flick
Last weekend a friend suggested we download and watch the movie The Notebook, which is based on the book of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. Even though the book was a bestseller and the movie ended up being a popular chick flick, I had the same reaction to this suggestion as if my friend […]
New and Improved Sex Toys Parties
Recently I went to a sex toys party. Actually, this wasn’t my first rodeo in this arena so I thought I knew what to expect. Years ago I had a good friend who was a sex toys rep. She booked Tupperware-like parties in women’s homes and gave compelling speeches to frustrated suburban housewives on the […]
A Husband Worth His Weight…in Carats
I get some pretty quirky stuff in my inbox on a daily basis (now, there’s a sentence that would’ve needed some explaining a mere 20 years ago), but today’s post from Café Mom is on course to set a record. It read, “When Her Husband Dies, She Plans to Turn Him into Jewelry.” Apparently, she […]
Pee Pants to the Rescue
As a mom I’ve often had to stop for frequent bathroom breaks on long family car trips…usually because of me. Having two sons it’s always irked me that if they have to go to the bathroom after we’ve embarked on that long ribbon of highway, all we have to do is pull off at the […]
Wrinkles in Time
I had the most humbling experience yesterday. While in Salt Lake I ran into a gal I went to college with. This was weird on two fronts: I didn’t go to college in Salt Lake City, or anywhere in Utah, for that matter. I went to Cal Berkeley, so to see this woman out of […]
