Seriously

I can only laugh. Right in this very second, I am sitting on a stoop in a parking lot about one block away from where I am supposed to spend my last night in Los Angeles… Why? Well, I have to go back to the beginning of my day to tell you (or really, my … Continue reading »

The person I used to know as me.

I bought my plane ticket to Minnesota this morning. Wow.  I’m really doing this.  I’m so excited…but filled with nostalgia and a deep sense of gratitude for every person and situation which has colored my world for the last several years. If someone told the person I used to know as me that I would … Continue reading »

Last week I had to suspend my gym membership due to lack of funds.  It was sort of a big deal, because that is how I shower each day. It’s been an interesting few days since the suspension as I try to navigate a new sort of routine fit for the rock star that I … Continue reading »

My Magical Mechanics! As I walked into the mechanic shop, I tried like heck to have my ‘game face’ on…. you know, the one that says, “I’m all business… and I’m very serious and I know what I’m talking about, so don’t mess with me”…. but truth be told, I had no idea what I … Continue reading »
