Woah. Another year went by just like that. I didn’t want to write another blogpost like this. And, quite frankly, I thought I’d surely run out of reasons why I’m single. But no. Apparently I can go on for years (please, no). (Really, please no). The bad thing about getting older and still being single […]

5 Crazy Ways I’ve Been Set Up
I’ve probably gone on at least a million “blind” dates in my life. I say “blind” because there’s hardly any such thing since the advent of Facebook (and Google and LinkedIn, not that I would know where to look…). Thus the picture of blinds on my post. Dates these days are less blindfold-y and more […]
June roses in…October
“God gave us memories, that we might have June roses in the December of our lives.” — James Barrie (paraphrased by Thomas S. Monson). I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a December of my life…more like an October. And I do agree with Anne of Green Gables, “I’m so glad I live in a world where […]
31 reasons why I’m still single at age 31
Well, you probably didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t think I could do it. After writing 30+ reasons last year about why I was still single at 30, I for sure didn’t think I would be able to come up with 31 MORE reasons. (And maybe let’s just not mention that I thought […]

SLC Mid-singles Conference Review
I’ve gone and done it. I went to an LDS mid-singles event on purpose. (You see, I did accidentally go to a mid-singles fireside some four or five years ago. It scared me. I needed to face my fear.) But a week ago, several mid-singles LDS wards in the valley hosted a conference with about 1200 […]
Liz Writes This
Oh hey…it’s been a while there, blog-reader friends. No, I’m not dating someone. I know that’s what you were wondering. There are far more exciting endeavors that consume my time. For example, the real delay has been because *look around*… I changed my site. Move your blog to WordPress, they said. It will be easy, they said. […]
3 Ideas for when you’re “past feeling” in dating
This wouldn’t be a blogpost without me saying that dating is the worst. The worst of it is that it keeps getting worse even when it’s sometimes better. I have been on a lot of bad dates in my life (the date where the guy didn’t tell me it was a formal dance and I […]
Best April Fool’s Day Joke
I have never been much of a prankster. A joker, yes. A tease? Yea, verily. But I’ve never been into those prank wars especially because TPing and the like seem like such an enormous waste of resources. On the other hand, I do remember putting a rubber band around the sink sprayer thing for April […]
2015 Dating Year in Review
Welcome to my 2015 Dating Year in Review. My regular year was great, filled with so many awesome things, like speaking at Women’s Conference, another successful charity garage sale, new roommates and many new friendships, a new Church calling, a new niece, a new sister-in-law, fun hikes and trips (Kansas City, New Orleans, Montana, Canada), […]
30 reasons why I’m still single at age 30
In any type of normal conversation in which someone finds out I am single and [now] 30, invariably I hear a comment to the effect of “I just don’t understand why you’re not married.” I appreciate it. I do. Well, I mean I think I do. I am guessing that means they think I’m awesome […]
