We decided to start experimenting with juicing. No, actually, that’s not how it happened really. A few days ago, we got hyped up after watching a documentary on Netflix about how processed foods are poisoning us all, and the benefits of natural foods. In the dramatization, natural food and juicing even helped a lady deal…

The Making of Upholstered Wiener Dog Ramps
Since Meeka’s back incident, she has not been allowed to climb stairs or leap off and on furniture. Because of this, she’s been mostly limited to the downstairs, and when shes upstairs, she has to be supervised every second because she feel perfectly capable of getting on and off the couch on a whim. I…
Forgetting; Seeing
Its funny how little you can see of home until you leave it. I didn’t know that the sky was gray and heavy with 3D sculpted clouds. I didn’t know that the grass in spring was so tangibly green, that horses would squeeze drops from it as they chewed. I didn’t know that it was…
Statistically Speaking… You’re Better Off at McDonald’s. But Don’t Go There.
Do you ever wander the backroads and old Main Streets of small towns, looking for that elusive gem that you can gush about on Trip Advisor? Somewhere out there… in a town you’ve never heard of.. Ma and Pa Kettle are cooking up something so amazing and unique that you can’t find it anywhere else…
The Fishing License Diet
I would just like to say. .. waiting up for Thom = totally worth it. He has been going fishing lately, and is apparently getting pretty good at it. He just brought home a batch, and I cooked some of it with rice and the mango pico I made last night. Also, he went for…
Zeno Clash – Same Game, Different Player
I just picked back up Zeno Clash, a game which I loved in spite of myself originally, but failed to complete on my first play through. I had started it circa 2009 or 2010, but then it, like most of the games I was playing, fell by the wayside when I got a job as…
Five Shows in Five Days – Youth Lagoon, No Joy, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Hello Lover and The Joy Formidable with Io Echo
Last Thursday we began a concert binge that would last until the earliest hours of Tuesday morning. The look for the occasion was mostly unwashed hair and the occasional sunglasses at night; days were caffeine fueled. The switch that turned Thom from 30 to 31 was flipped while we were sitting outside of Anvil watching The Joy…
Random Story Time – Island Pilots
Once after finishing a modeling gig, I had to fly out of St. Thomas on a small plane. That sounds a bit glamorous and spectacular, but really, I was a girl who most days played a waitress, and I’d just made a couple of grand in a week, and I knew I wouldn’t be able…

Meeks Update
Thom took Meeka to the vet Monday, and found at she is not a surgery candidate. She is not bad enough at this time, which is good. She does need to take steroids, pain killers, and muscle relaxers, and rest in her cage for a month. She can’t walk or play or do anything. She…
Guest Post on Life in the Boomer Lane!
I’ve got a guest post up today on the blog of one of the bloggers from my Liebster award post. A post about my mom, and my perception of her, is up now on Life in The Boomer Lane.
The Trials of Meeka
… I have posts queued up and half written in my head, but my little dog Meeka has derailed me from feeling like gushing about awesome places to have dinner and drinks and shopping in new neighborhoods. Meeka went to the emergency vet last night due to being in pain and her hind legs being…
