I spent several (three years) not doing much of anything, and it’s amazing how quickly you can get used to that way of life. Not that I never missed my former, busy lifestyle, but I was being a recluse in a different place, not Chicago. I think it would have been a lot harder if …
I left most of my kitchen things in Mexico and while I was sad to see them go, I figured it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be replaced. Among the glasses and plates were a pair of coffee mugs bought years ago at the art fair here in west Michigan. They’re well worn and the handle …
Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook have already been hearing about this, so I apologize if I’m bombarding you with information. I make it a point not to talk about work on my blog, but there’s a project I’ve been working on for over a month now that has officially launched. …

This is where I’ll be tomorrow! I’m leaving after work today to join a group of my writing friends for a camping trip in Kentucky. Squee! This is the same group that I met in Chicago last December and I’m even more excited this time around because the nervousness of meeting them is gone. Squee!
Saturday I brought Owen to the vet for his one-year rabies shot (that’s right, he’s got a big day coming up) and I asked the vet about obedience classes. He knows basic commands but he’s STILL super excited all the time and I’d like him to greet people without climbing all over them. (I know …
Our church is having “the world’s largest garage sale” this weekend and we’ve had piles accumulating for the past month or so. I went through all the clothes I’ve had in storage for the last three years and ended up with ten bag (TEN BAGS!) of clothes and shoes to donate. Ten bags! A lot …
