My Friends

Sunny Hunt — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:05:57 -0700

Oh where to start. I keep company with a wide variety of people, most of whom would walk through fire for me (and I for them). It does get interesting, however, when they've had a little too much to drink...

Strength

Sunny Hunt — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:25:32 -0600

Sometimes I’m strong because that’s who I am. I’m strong, I’m independent, stalwart (almost). I don’t let whatever it is phase me or get me down. I muscle through. Strong enough, confident enough and possessing enough perspective to give others...

Before and After

Sunny Hunt — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:49:04 -0600

Earlier in the summer (okay, spring) Sebastian needed a haircut and I was feeling lazy. "How about a buzz cut?" I offered thinking that I could quickly and fairly painlessly resolve the situation. "How about a mohawk?" he countered. Done....

Negotiations

Sunny Hunt — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:39:14 -0600

I like to think that I teach my child good life skills: being polite, not being afraid to ask for help but not expecting someone to do it for you and negotiation. I think the negotiation skills grew legs and...

Mormon Food Storage

Sunny Hunt — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:42:11 -0600

In Utah real estate a highly prized commodity is what's known as a "food storage room" or a "Mormon food storage room". Those wacky Mormons, they sure do like to be prepared for something like a flood, earthquake or 15-hour...

A Utah First

Sunny Hunt — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:29:38 -0600

It's a first for Utah. A Kindergarten class with only 6 students. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I feel good with my decision to place Sebastian in private Kindergarten. If I had put him in the Utah Public school...

Tired.

Sunny Hunt — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:13:00 -0600

I'm tired. Sapped. I feel like an unfortunate character in "Harry Potter" novel that has their life force drained from their body, except some wicked ass charm from a tween with a twig won't make the sapping, sucking, draining stop....

Comment from the cheap seats

"Mom?" "Yes." "Are we going to Costco tomorrow?" "Yes." "Is it example day?" "Example day?" "Yeah, you know, where we walk around and try all those different things." "Oh, *sample* day, we sample different foods." "That's what I said, 'example'...

Big

Sunny Hunt — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:51:06 -0600

When you see your child day to day sometimes you don't realize exactly how big they're getting. It takes a small act like measuring their height and comparing it to the previous measurements or a friend who hasn't seen them...

Keeping the Peace

Sunny Hunt — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 22:03:27 -0600

I've set boundaries and limitations for myself on this blog. Nothing too personal, nothing that could get me fired or destroy a personal relationship and certainly nothing that could be used against me in a court of law (read: ex-husband...
