And Then I Was All Like…Whoa

A post in which I review music…favorably.
I mentioned in this post that I was meeting Marijke for dinner and in the process acquiring a copy of her CD.
WHOA.
I might be a little biased…or a lot really…but let me guarantee you something…
It’s good.
May I say…great even?
I’ve found myself listening to the music all day long at [...]

At Last

My closest friend in Alaska was named Marijke.  I’ve blogged about her before.
(Speaking of…did you know that she has a CD!!!!?????)
Long story short…she is good people.  I like her.  And we have had a lot of fun together.
When I decided to move back to Texas…I knew I would miss her.
But then….oh….it’s so exciting I can [...]

The Life of a Nomad

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 [...]

Race for the Cure

Last weekend, on a day sandwiched between car shopping, work, and family time, I did something cool.
At the prompting of a friend (who is currently fighting breast cancer) I walked in the Race for the Cure. 
Saturday I (and 30,000 of my closest friends) walked (or ran in some cases) 5K and became part of the [...]

As the world turns…and turns…

After writing my last post…things in my life got even more bizarre.  I won’t bore you with the details…but the important part of the story is that I’m fine. Bruised, sore, and exhausted emotionally and physically…but fine.
And, subsequently, a friend that can still love you after you total her car is someone to cherish.  But [...]

Whoa

This week has been pretty good.  I would almost qualify it as great if not for the odd weather and inconvenient rain.
In all seriousness, things for Davita are certainly looking up and my “postmovesuperstressed” funk seems to be well behind me.  I’m quite thankful and I’m pretty sure everyone around me is too. 
Now, onto other [...]

A Happy List, DFW Edition

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…  [...]

Where am I?

Hmmm…Seems like I need to catch you up…
I arrived in Dallas on Saturday, September 5th.  The flights from Anchorage to DFW were uneventful except for a slight delay that made for a rather entertaining mad dash through the Seattle airport.  I was greeted at the airport by two really special people and promptly made my way [...]

My Friend Marijke

Have I ever introduced you to my friend Marijke? 
Let me tell you a few things about her.  She is kind.  And good.  And a musician.  And loving.  And, she has pretty great hair.  All things I love in a friend.
In all seriousness…my time in Anchorage would not have been the same without her.  She is [...]

Thoughts and Meanderings

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what I want out of a relationship.  I won’t go into the gory details…but my (lack of) a love life has been what one might call tumultuous recently.  And even better, I brought much of this drama upon myself.  Those of you that have known me for a [...]
