The right house, that is. So, yeah, I'm trying to buy a place. The last time I bought a place was in 2001, which I subsequently sold in 2004, and jumped onto the rental bandwagon. Everything was going along fine in my rental house, then - something in me changed. I wanted to buy a … Continue reading Finding “The One”
Just The Trip
"There is a trip coming up here very soon- a very good trip. And I feel once you come home from this trip, you need to make the changes in your life that you want to make, because you’re not happy. You’re not happy, not satisfied content with where things are, you want to make … Continue reading Just The Trip
Traveling Alone
It's a funny thing. I end up traveling alone quite a bit. It's not really what I set out to do... it's just sort of... what ends up happening. I plan a trip, I get someone to go with me. They can't make it for some reason/change plans. I'm usually not upset about it... in … Continue reading Traveling Alone
Aussie ABCs
You've probably figured by now that I am going to post about Australia all week- and that would be correct. I'm going to start off easy. Some of the initial observations I had while I was in Australia. Then as the week progresses, I'll get into the internal, meaningful stuff. I'm going to be brutally … Continue reading Aussie ABCs
Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Hi everyone, I'm safe, still here in Australia. I'm leaving tomorrow and will be back in LA by Sunday afternoon. I'm sorry I haven't written- normally when I travel I at least try to write every other day- and this go round- I've only written once. I didn't want to cheat you out of any … Continue reading Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Believing is Achieving
I'm not going to get all The Secret on you today. It's New Year's Eve here in Sydney, Australia- and I need to keep it lighthearted! Plus I'm headed down to the beach here in about twenty minutes. I have a 'bucket list' of sorts. I don't call it a bucket list because bucket lists … Continue reading Believing is Achieving
Drink Pray Love
Yes, quite similar to Eat, Pray Love. With a twist. I am going to my third country (vacation) in one year, much like Elizabeth Gilbert. But my trips are just a little different. Yes, I went to Thailand. And yes, like Ms. Gilbert, I visited two Asian countries within the same year. I suppose I … Continue reading Drink Pray Love

Christmas Eve is the big day/night for my family... I think it comes from my father's Scandinavian and German roots... but Christmas Eve has always been the big celebration for us. Family, presents, and clam chowder (I know, random, but it's our Seattle tradition!). Pacific Coast Clam Chowder Recipe Recipe Type: Chowder, Clams, Potatoes Cuisine: … Continue reading Decembertwentyfourth
Watch What They Do, Not What They Say
Yes, watch what they do, not what they say. My dad used to tell me this in reference to boys. I didn't believe him at first.... so I ignored it pretty much for the majority of my dating-eligible life. You see, my witty brain accepted words (especially loving and complimentary ones) as tangible things... meaning, … Continue reading Watch What They Do, Not What They Say
