As I get older I’m starting to appreciate the art of self-preservation. I don’t know how others do it, but I define this to be, “managing and planning proactively so as to avoid frustration or disappointment later.” Here’s how this…

The odds
The odds of me ever being a participant on Naked and Afraid: slim to none. HOW DO THEY DO THAT? How do they hang out (literally) in the wilderness with no shoes on? Let alone with their bathing suit parts EXPOSED…
2014 Emmy Fashion Recap
Monday night note: (Ignore spelling and grammar errors. It’s late and I’m tired.) Updated Tuesday, August 26 8:01 a.m. MT. I forgot a few things last night. Of course I stayed up to watch the Emmys. On a Monday night. Wearing…
Monday Matters.
It’s true. Monday does matter. As do these matters that require discussion. 1. No, I did not do a fashion recap for the VMA’s because quite frankly, I don’t care. It’s just too easy. Case in point: Photo credit. 2. I am, however,…
My best friend’s birthday
Dear Craig, The most important moments of my life have been shared with you: when we met in June of 1997, college graduation, buying our first home together, our Nattie, our wedding, moving to Mexico, Fergie Lupita, the birth of…

…and school has sprung. Or begun. Or whatever.

When I was a “tween” and into my teens I had exactly three things that I loved: 1.) re-arranging my room 2.) the Point Place library 3.) typing and writing Yep. On any given perfect evening, I would have been sitting…
I've been waiting for this.
In bed still listening to thunder and lightening. It’s so dark. And at almost 9:30 in the morning, Lila is still sleeping. A little slice of heaven. It sounds glorious. And sometimes even the skies need to cry, too.
My family. Bad Taste. Shoes. Wine.
My family has questionable taste. Or, maybe it’s me? (I doubt it.) I saw these shoes a couple of weeks ago and I liked them. I took a pic. Texted it to the husband. He was like, “Eh. We live…
