Hook, Line & Sinker

Moose

Have you ever had one of those moments when the universe grabs you by the collar, smacks you upside the head, spins you around on your heels, grabs your chin and forces your head in the direction of someone, screaming, “Him (or her)! You belong with HIM (or HER)!” My boyfriend and I spent last [...]

Shocked to find we didn’t have any butter. Day Nine Bought butter. Day Ten Left butter on counter to warm up for baking process. Forgot about butter. [...]

My West Coast Moment

West Coast

I’m having a moment. Please bear with me. (Note that six words into this post I had to stop to figure out if it’s “bear” or “bare” or a third mystery spelling I’m unaware of. I googled “please bear with me” and found whole blogs dedicated to the phrase, and several forums of people discussing [...]

A Wildly Funny (and Totally True) Thing Happened on the Way to Yoga

DontPanic

Jeepers, what a crazy few months! I have so many heartwarming, intellectually stimulating, morally reassuring and devilishly funny stories to share. You see, after my last post on September 19th (where I wrapped up my road trip) I had the best of intentions to continue updating my blog regularly with all of the charming hijinks [...]

Life As A Human Article: Pants Optional

I start to run, and at this exact moment I learn how un-nutritious my road trip diet of instant coffee and bread burnt over the flames of my little propane burner has been. My pants decide to make a break for it. I’m free!!! They don’t slide down my hips so much as leap off [...]

Technology and Crustaceans

I know that my previous success in working for a high tech internet company surprised a lot of people. Namely, anyone who knew me. I was never particularly interested in “computers” or “technology”. I remember when email first hit the scene. I was in high school when people started to get this internet thing at [...]

A Post About Nothing

Since my list of non-activities in 2009, a few people have asked me if I’ll write a similar post for 2010. A list of goals, or non-goals, to do or to not-do in the following twelve months. After thinking about this long and hard, here is my answer: No. And if you know me at all you’ll [...]

It’s Not A Problem If Everyone Does It. Right?

I’m at this party a while ago. There are only a few of us left. It’s very late and there is much wine in my system when it happens. That inevitable, incredibly awkward moment. A boy leans too close and whispers what his eyes have been saying all night. Do you want to play Rock [...]
