The Confessional: Phobias, Phears… I mean Fears
Pin itI am a pretty brave girl… as long as there are safety measures in place. Ya know, like — reflective vests, whistles, railing, and extra padding. I wouldn’t say I legitimately suffer from any phobias… but there are things that stretch my muscles of bravery. Here follows my own list of phobias/phfears. I invite [...]
A Quick Ragnar Recap, Until I Can Find Time For a Not-Quick Ragnar Recap
Pin itLet’s see… Our team name (there were 11 runners) was: The VelociRaptors. On account of the fact we were so full of velocity and rapting and whathaveyou. Of course, I brought some window paint.

The Stuff of Life
Pin itWhen I think back to what I dreamed of as a little girl… I wasn’t terribly creative. College, marriage, children… dreams for a good, but “regular” life. OK, I also dreamed of being on Fame or Kids Incorporated, but… With the exception of Fame and Kids Incorporated, my dreams really have come true — [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday – Double-Complete Rainbow
Pin itHave you ever experienced a double-complete rainbow? I have not. So I really don’t know how I would react. That is why I have watched this video a number of times, trying to gain perspective… in an effort to give benefit of doubt. My deductive reasoning leads me to two possible conclusions — Either [...]
In Which I Dodge a Bullet… I Mean, Rocket. Literally.

The Big Fall of 2010
