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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Do you remember my friend Marijke? (aka the haver of super good ideas)
Well yesterday she suggested that we grab dinner after work and take a drive. Smart girl. Pretty day. Lots of fun.
We drove (actually…she drove, I co-piloted) to Girdwood. It was beautiful. Warm (by Alaskan standards)… Beautiful. Sunny.
It was breathtaking. And the company…the company [...]

If there were ever a good reason to blog three times in one day, this is it.
Prepare yourself.
I was out at lunch running errands and listening to the radio…
The radio DJ starts talking about Brian Dunkleman. Do you know Brian Dunkleman? He was the co-host (with R. Seacrest) for the first season of American Idol. [...]

I was a blanket kid. I carried around my tattered blankie for a LONG time…and slept with it longer than that. I’m way too embarrassed to divulge when exactly I stopped sleeping with it…but I will tell you that it was some time after I started kindergarten and before I left for college.
But the story [...]

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 [...]

I heard about this on the news yesterday. Due to the settlement of a class action lawsuit, several department stores are giving away free full-sized beauty items. There are several things you can choose from. To be considered eligible you must have purchased a department store cosmetic between the dates of May 29, 1994 and [...]

I’ve done a lot of thinking today. Mostly…because I’ve given myself time to think.
I’ve found myself filling up my days recently. Packing in duties and activities so that other things that I would rather not think about won’t seem so heavy. In reality, a majority of the reason that I moved to AK had very [...]
