This shows up in my Facebook memories every year (for the past five years): “That moment when you are supposed to be packing up the travel trailer for your camping trip, but you go to Value Village instead and end up with a onesie.” This memory is even more special because my mom found that […]

I love my new gynecologist. Yes, I realize that’s weird. This morning, I had a follow-up to an appointment I had on July 8, exactly one month ago today. Dr. Chen: “Good to see you again.” Me: “Say, were you with Dr. Morrison back in March of 2009?” I held up my memoir in my […]

I wrote a short note to Katrien—she has sung three of my songs now—on Facebook, “Hey, I wanted to let you know that I sang my little heart out to the master of “Got My Life Back” in the car this morning on the way home from the chiropractor. You took the lead vocal. I […]

You know how my goal in Maui (back in May) was to do 125,000 steps and I really did 153,000? You know how my goal in Nashville (back in June) was to do 25,000 steps but I knew I wouldn’t because I spent days on end in the studio recording all that music? Well, here […]

While I was taking yet another picture of a rock (this time at the Brink of Upper Falls…I’m not sure why I was so obsessed with them except I thought they were pretty), our housesitters called in a complete panic to tell us that our outside freezer was acting up. Food was melting and they […]

Wearing one of my new shirts, breaking in my new hiking boots, enjoying my new Smartwool socks, trying out my new Bana, and most of all, having the time of my life on this trip to Yellowstone. And, I didn’t have a heart attack. That’s always a plus.😉

Speaking of flowers and rocks, I’m sure I looked like a complete dork trying to get good shots of these on our hike to and from the Upper Falls, but I didn’t care. My main goal was to a) be able to get back up off the ground, b) not have a heart attack (because […]

Hiked the 600-foot—elevation—gain trail to the Brink of the Lower Falls today which might not sound like much to you, but to this old lady (completely out of shape), it was quite the accomplishment. I kept having to stop on the way back up because I was so winded. I took those opportunities to take […]

My husband and I were up at 6:30 this morning, thankful for some cooler, rainy weather. We ended up at the Canyon Visitor Education Center, mainly because I had to pee. We toured the place, watched a movie, saw some beautiful artwork, bought a Bana because I forgot mine at home, and finally found some […]

Here are my new hiking boots for the three of you who care. And remember when I said I didn’t need to buy any more shirts until my next trip? Well, we walked around town last night and I found that red shirt (and another super comfortable one) for buy-one-get-one-free. As to that look on […]
