About Me

My name is Loralee. I was born in 1974. I live in Utah*. I am the dork. Being THE dork is quite a lot of pressure, actually.

This is me.

Aren’t I smokin’?

Unfortunately, I would say that this is probably a more realistic portrait of the “True Me”.

Oh, except in this photo I actually got my pudgy little butt to the gym, so scratch the sweat. You can leave the the IPOD, though. And fugly hair. And left over eye makeup.

Ug, that is depressing.

Nope, this is my blog, my rules. SO…We are just going to pretend that I always look like this:

You should see some of the looks I get when I go to the grocery store!

That should do it for physical appearance.

What’s my personality like? We’ll just leave it at this for now.

All right, all right! I know that the “About Me” page is supposed to give you pertinent information about me, my blog, my life, and what brand of Ben & Jerry’s I prefer, but I would say that the opening statement is fairly accurate. My “Cast List” page gives you more information about me and my family. I wanted this page to show my personality.

Should you read me?

If you like reading personal weblogs and can see the humor in life, we may be a good match. If silliness bothers you, Houston may “Have a problem” and you should probably go elsewhere. Humor is the way I cope and deal with things. I have had a lot of tragedy in my life, so it is necessary for me. If reading about difficult, sad things bothers you, we may not be a good fit, either. Luckily, I usually try to balance the two.

So…Try me out and see if you like the experience. If you do, great! Yipee!! Woo-Hoo!!! If you don’t, well….Life is just too short to waste time, so move along and good luck to you.

*To clear up the whole “Utah and Religion” topic that I get asked about all the time.

Yes, I am a Mormon. An inactive Mormon (Which means that I.don’t.go.to.church.and.am.rather.naughty.) so PLEASE DO NOT equate me as a representation of this religion in any way, ok?

I stopped going to church a few years ago when my son died, but I am still on the records as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If I ever choose to practice a religion again, it will be that one, so please realize that while I have some big issues, I am also protective of it.

While I don’t mind answering questions (to the best of my ability) or discussing it, there is no need to write me and tell me that I worship a different Jesus. I know your heart is in the right place, but I had a very anti-Mormon grandmother, so I am well aware of the different arguments.

My personal opinion is that Jesus has enough love for us all.
