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 [...]

Newsflash

I’m going to miss the snow.
True story.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Twice. In. One. Day.

I’m posting for the second time today…except not really.  I’ve been reading my posts from mid-late 2007…reliving my emotions and thoughts from that time in my life.  And I’m struck by how cyclical my life is in reference to that point.  Another move.  Another chapter simultaneously opening and closing. 
And, I’ve decided to share a few [...]

I O U

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 [...]

The Transformation of Me

I started this blog approximately two years ago to chronicle my move from Texas to Alaska.  At the time I appropriately titled it “Stop Looking at Me Like I’ve Lost My Mind…”, because when you tell your friends and family that you are moving from sunny DFW to Eagle River, Alaska…well…you get some funny looks.
The [...]

A Memory

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 [...]

Hello and…A Really Good Weekend

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 [...]

Sleep Well

Let me preface this by saying that my mom is one of my favorite people in the whole world.  That woman is a good egg.  And, yes, although we have had our differences from time to time…she gets me.
BUT…she also sends some bizarre care packages.  For instance…my sister got a package from my mom a [...]
