Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
A few days ago, I was walking home from my office. It was a beautiful, sunny day, so I thought that instead of just walking straight home I'd go down to the harbor and enjoy the view. Now, my dog Jack comes with me to work everyday. Jack's a Double Doodle: half Goldendoodle, half Labradoodle. In... Continue Reading →
There's not really much to write about today, except for the fact that I've been writing like a mad woman for the past couple of days and hopefully within the next few days I'll be finished with this draft of my book. I did however want to share this photo of what my typical writing... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was one of those days where you wake up and you just know it's going to be a bad one - one of those days you wish you could just skip before it even starts. It began too early with a dog needing to go pee. Now, that's not too bad, better the dog... Continue Reading →
There's something I want to say out loud, well not out loud since this is a written blog not a video blog, but there's something I want to explicitly state: I am a feminist. Most of you have probably picked up on that already, but I want to go into why I personally am a feminist.... Continue Reading →
I'd like to begin this post by stating that I am a cyclist by nature and by nurture. My father raced bicycles in his twenties and I spent a lot of my childhood on the back of a tandem. In fact, I was probably riding bikes before I could really walk. The happiest moments of... Continue Reading →
Several years ago, I was diagnosed with a lengthy list of food sensitivities. For those who don't know the difference between an allergy and a sensitivity, don't worry, it's confusing. An allergic reaction occurs fairly instantaneously - generally within an hour of coming into contact with the food. Symptoms of an allergy include itching, hives,... Continue Reading →
When I was eight years old, my family made the move from Colorado to Missouri so that my father could attend medical school. At first, the move was an adventure: a new state, a new town, a new school, new friends. But the adventure quickly vanished under the weight of loneliness and fear. It was... Continue Reading →
This is a blog I've been thinking about writing for awhile now. It's not necessarily a Bluegrass specific post, you could apply it to live music in general. Rule for being a good Bluegrass fan: 1. Go to all shows within a reasonable driving distance. If a reasonable distance is only in your town, that's... Continue Reading →
There are moments in our lives when a little switch flips in our minds and we become something new, we redefine ourselves. I suppose you'd call these defining moments. But I'm not talking about the kind of defining moment where you make a choice that will determine the course of your future, but rather the... Continue Reading →
As my regular readers know, I recently finished reading a Cornelia Funke book. I generally need a day or two to recover from reading one of her books, so now that a couple days have past it's time to choose a new book to read. That shouldn't be to difficult right? I've got about a... Continue Reading →
