Well, it’s Monday…I’m tired…and pretty excited that this week is going to be short…and hopefully sweet!
You may remember that I mentioned in this post that my sister and 2/3 of her kids would be visiting in December. Well…turns out that 3/3 of the kids are coming. Meaning…ALL OF THEM. I’m excited to be [...]

My mind has been a mess today…nothing involving enough thought to devote an entire post to, for sure. But…thoughts none the less.
So…here you go…
*I read online today that we are on the verge of a waffle shortage. Since I haven’t purchased a box of frozen waffles in years…I doubt this will affect me too much.
*The [...]

I moved out of my apartment in Eagle River at the end of July…exactly two months ago.
In the last two months I’ve slept in the following places…
My friend J’s house when I was visiting Dallas.
My friend K’s house when I was visiting Dallas.
My sister’s couch.
My niece’s bed when she was out of town.
An air mattress [...]

Sometimes during times of change and struggle I have trouble keeping things in perspective. I know this isn’t a struggle specific to me…it’s something many people struggle with from time to time.
Over the past few weeks, as my life has changed at a rapid pace, I’ve sometimes had trouble seeing the forest through the trees… [...]

I owe you a blog post.
I’ve been trying to find the time to come here and chronicle the moments of my life that seem to be quickly passing by the past few weeks. I want to record these goings on, both for me and for my (very few) readers. But it seems that when I [...]

Saturday afternoon I picked up my niece. She was staying with me for the evening because her sister was having friends spend the night to celebrate her 13th birthday and they wanted the “little sister” out of the way.
We did nothing special. No planned activities. Primarily I drug her around Anchorage with me as I [...]

And yet…maybe the worst too?
I’m excited about moving to Texas. I dream about it. The thought of being closer to my family and friends again is quite exciting.
And then I look up. And see the mountains. And the ocean. And I’m sad.
I’m choosing to leave this place. Am I crazy?
And then…I think of my sister. [...]

I love my dad. To say that we have ever been close would most certainly be a stretch…but I love him…this is very real.
And I miss him. I think I missed him before I ever knew him…and over the years…as our relationship has ebbed and flowed…both by my fault and by his…I’ve missed him then [...]

If you read yesterday’s blog, you might remember that I was in a bit of a funk. To insinuate that the funk started yesterday would be a fallacy. In fact…it has been building for a few weeks. And really, for no good reason.
It ends TODAY. No one is responsible for our moods and actions but [...]

I haven’t blogged in a while, although if you check this site regularly, you knew that already. I’m lacking some motivation these days regarding a variety of issues…and this blog certainly falls into that category. Today, I’m back to blog and maybe later this week I’ll finally post my Iditarod pictures.
I had a really fantastic [...]
