Just Goofin'-off On A Coffee Date With My Daughter
Pin itMy 7 year old daughter is a creative-type. She often asks to use my phone to take pictures. Or my Flip to take video. One day, Olivia wanted to take pictures of me. I was all, “Becuase you think I’m beautiful?” She was all, “Noooooo!” And I was all, “Eh?” And she was all… [...]
The Tale of My 5th Half-Marathon
Pin itTo bed by 10:30 Saturday night and up by 3:50 Sunday morning. So began my quest to the finish line. I heated up my oatmeal, brewed the coffee, and headed out the door. Ran back in. It was pretty warm outside (in the PNW in NOVEMBER) and I grabbed a tank top. I met [...]
Running
Pin itThis should post at 7:00 a.m. PST. That is one half-hour before the start time for the Seattle Half Marathon… And I will be there, beneath the clouds and “shadow” of the Space Needle. Running in some manner of run-ness. I may will Tweet. I may Whrrl. Right now I should be in bed. [...]
In Which I Ask Myself, "Why?"
Pin itI am at a crisis-ish point. Idon’twanna. The only “wanna” I got has to do with coffee, a warm blanket and my internets. Or Hulu. And cookies in the oven then subsequently… in mah bellee.

A Big Workout Neck and the DMV, or is it the DOL?
Pin it As part of yesterdays’ birthday celebration, I had to go get a new driver’s license, and hithertowhereverthougoest… I was gonna get a good picture and also lieaboutmyweight. Nothing quite like getting a new driver’s license AND getting old(er). I made it to the DMV… or the DOL (whatever) moments after the doors opened. [...]
Dear Birthday,
Pin it I am 20 years past 17. Officially. Today. Thanks for showing up, Birthday. I loved 17. I am not 17 in this picture. I am 36. But whatever. I never really thought about 20 years past 17 when I was 17. I just thought about boys. And college. Boys at college. I didn’t [...]
My Butt Hurts, You Don't Even Know.
Pin itSo. I have this friend. Darcy. A personal trainer. A personal trainer who happens to be my friend who has been cruel kind enough to show me how to properly and effectively work mah boday. She is into “functional training”, and I’m all, “Heh… she said “function”… Lemme tell ya, the first time she [...]
She said she liked my hair, I said I liked her shirt.

Make Me Laugh Monday – My Children, My Madness, My Joy… and Also My Digressionses
Pin itI woke up one morning. I got out of bed. I heard my Mama… And what did she say? She said, “What do want, On your breakfast bread?” I said, “JAM ON IT!” Heh. ‘Member that rap? Ah…. childhood. I’ve always been a wrapper at heart. Even as a blue eyed white girl… whose [...]
