Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
I remember a time when I was twenty-two years old. I had just begun dating my very attractive and charming brain surgeon boyfriend (who I eventually dated for almost four years). It was the first time he had taken me to dinner with a group of his friends- some of which had girlfriends. One of … Continue reading The 20-Something “Age” Jab
Ok, something happened to me this week. Something I have done every year for like fifteen years. And I didn't do it this week because I straight up forgot. My March Madness bracket. WTH. How on earth did it slip my mind? I knew I needed to do it. I've been watching some of the … Continue reading The Madness
Time is a funny thing. A minute can seem to whiz by when you're hitting the snooze button, but take forever when you are running on a treadmill. It can pass and you not even know it when you realize you've lived somewhere 10 or 15 years. Or see your baby graduate from high school. … Continue reading Time

My darling male basenji, Red, is just the sweetest darn boy alive. I know many strangers, including strangers with dogs, may not always agree with me. But of my two dogs, he is the genuinely lovable one. Last week, I took both the furballs to see the vet for their annual visit. Halo and Red … Continue reading Yank It Out

So then I thought, well, … Continue reading The Color Green
I had a teacher in junior high. His name was Mr. Schultz. He seemed a lot older (I'm sure he was like 45 or something at the time). He was the boys' tennis coach, and my English teacher. I can honestly tell you, I can't remember a thing from his class. I think we read … Continue reading Practice Self-Control

Always, for the past three months. Well, 930 Pacific Standard Time. The other ten people on this call are in Phoenix, … Continue reading How to Survive Daylight Savings
If you're a girl.... oh you just love changes. You just want to incorporate change into your life. Especially your love life. All. The. Time. When we go through a break up... we think... How could I have done this differently? What could I have changed? What can I change to make a guy like … Continue reading Changing
Maybe it's the Seattle in me. But I love a rainy night. Being inside, cuddled up with the snuggle bugs, a book, a movie, a laptop... hearing the rain on the roof... it's a cozy feeling. You're inside, protected. Warm. As I'm looking for places to buy (yes, I'm still looking, I now have put … Continue reading Rain on the Roof
