Alone and Unobserved

As observant readers may remember, my brother got married recently, and on that occasion I promised a link to the wedding/reception photos; a link which, predictably, never materialized. So here are a few Flickr albums that have sprung up, alone and unobserved, as it were, in the interim, and which illustrate to some degree what has been going on in my life over the past couple months.

Since I know that y’all are so interested in what’s going through my mind during my Vegas library school seminar, I’ve moved my Twitter feed to the top of the left sidebar. I’ll try to update it often, to make up for the dearth of blog posts. Tonight: maybe dancing! And hot men!

After Christmas with my family in American Fork, a week and a half at the Tibbitts Family Manse in California and a day of driving with a friend, I’m finally back in Salt Lake City.

Things I will miss about staying in my family’s house:
My parents and little sisters. My friend Carrie. Guitar Hero marathons on Carrie’s Nintendo Wii. Having an army of people to cook for. A mother to do the grocery shopping. Mild winters.

Reasons I am enjoying being back in Salt Lake:
Living alone. Quiet time to myself. Central heating. Unfiltered internet access. Snow. Interacting with non-Mormons occasionally.*

I won’t be in town for long, though. On Thursday I’m flying to Las Vegas for another library school seminar, which (fingers crossed!) won’t be as deadly as the last one. (See: Library Seminar #1 for the incoherent details.)
