As I was blowing the dust off my last blog, I noticed a theme that I felt I had been thinking through recently. Because my last blog was a year ago, I mentioned my thoughts on Christmastime. Added to that, through a series of strange events which I will elaborate on, I am reading Siddhartha […]
So my husband started this all male grownup fraternity gathering of sorts named the Plaid Bastards. On Superbowl Sunday, they are hosting some sort of tomfoolery at a bowling alley. So I decide I will get the female cohorts together for a lovely spa day while they are off bowling. The problem: “none” of these […]
So I made it through the holidays mostly unscathed. I’m now back to yoga, diet, and no drinking. I met my goal of reading the Chronicles of Narnia and work is going smoothly. Seems like a great start. I was talking to coworkers today about the concept that people don’t really talk about work unless […]
It’s official: I’m off of work for 2 1/2 weeks. I have nothing planned except a short trip to Vegas, and I’m okay with that. I plan on reading the whole Chronicles of Narnia set and not accomplishing much else. I don’t even have plans for New Year’s. Any suggestions as to what I should […]
So I felt like I had this real epiphany last week. I’ve been trying to describe it to people and have so far been unsuccessful.

My students are so nice this year. How nice you ask? They have officially started an IPod fund for me. They have already collected $15.31. Just another 185 dollars to go . . . They ask, “Will you really take the money?” I reply, “Heck yeah, what do you want me to actually donate it […]
It just dawned on me that I have no celebrity crush right now. I worked past Brad Pitt as Achilles ala Troy. I moved on to illegal, under-age Stephen from Laguna Beach, but he is a little too wussy this season to really truly enjoy. I thought Jason would be a nice substitute but he […]
Although many exciting and more mundane yet still thoroughly enjoyable events took place on our recent trip to California, the most personally exciting was the purchase of my new beach cruiser. Husband and I own mountain bikes, but how passe and Pacific Northwest of us. The poor things haven’t been brought out since the one […]
We just got back from Los Gaviotas, Mexico. It was such a shockingly wonderful time. Because the husband was in charge of the planning I just didn’t know many details about where we would be staying. We crossed the border, drove through Tijuana, and eventually pulled into the beautiful gated community of Los Gaviotas. What […]
