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…
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…
Spycam: St. Patty’s Greenville Ave. – Street Style Edition
I seem to be having some difficulty with my life style.* That’s not actually totally true, I reserve that quote for, well, circumstances other than these. But I have been having some trouble getting my blog posts up in a timely fashion. That seems to happen when I’ve actually got an abundance of things to…
The Misexpectations Travel Blog
I had grand plans for vacation. As I packed, I photographed every item I brought, because I thought I’d blog my packing list and how I wound up wearing it. I thought I was doing one of my best packing jobs ever. On vacation I want to be as sexy everyday as I wish I…
Confessions of a Bad Friend Crush
I think that I might have an internet crush on Herey at Rhymes With Fairy , because her posts always elicit a response from me. When I read her Why Can’t We Be Friends? – about “friend crushes” and how hard it can be to turn them into actual friendships, I felt a bit ashamed. I think…
The Day in Photos – February 23: Filming, Gaming, Playing, and Drawing
It was one of those weekends in which my accomplishments didn’t quite live up to my ambitions. I have about four or five “intellectual” posts half written in my head, but so much kept going on that I didn’t get anything really, actually written. But I did take the time to write up this lame excuse. In…
