Sixth Annual Turkey Day Craft Hour

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

I know, I know. You’ve all been waiting with bated breath, wondering when I’d be hitting “publish” on my Annual Turkey Day Craft post. It’s been a week and still nothing. You thought I’d forgotten, didn’t you? Well, to you I say in no uncertain hyperbolic terms, what is life without a turkey craft?!? And [...]

State of the State of Thirty Something-dom

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Thirty….as in 30!…did not shape up to be my parent’s “30.” Unsurprisingly, so far neither has 31. Not that I’m complaining. Because I’m not.

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

The Deets on Bloggers in Sin City

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Thirteen years ago, I found myself camping with my family at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. Camping. The “campground” consisted of a shadeless black top parking lot and our camper was without air conditioning. In the July heat of 104 degrees at 8 in the morning. Too young to gamble or drink, too sunburned to wear anything except [...]
