Two years ago $#!t when down in the neighborhood. When I say $#!t went down, I mean it exploded. It was kind of like a constipated infant that gets a little bit of apple juice to help things along; when the rumbling starts watch out because it goes up the back, in the hair, literally […]

Trust your gut
Where is the reset button? Somewhere on our bodies there must be a reset button. I want to get back to the factory settings. Some people have these natural gut instincts that never steer them wrong. I would like to have this unnatural superhuman trait, but I do not. The problem is I like to […]

Happy New Year!
I don’t feel ready for this year. Time is consistent, it passes whether you’re ready or not. Now it’s day two of this New Year and I’m just not ready for it. Besides biking across MN, running virtual races and paying off a credit card I will also keep this list in mind. This […]

While I was in the American Red Cross bus I was immediately surprised by the amount of things that make you ineligible to donate. Traveling to other countries, tattoos and piercings (all within […]
Following Footsteps
My dad is a guy’s guy. Mr. Fix-it, Dr. Dad, Jack-of-all-trades wrapped into one 6’2” package. He doesn’t hire out he fixes or invents a new workable solution. He’s stubborn, thinks he’s always right (which most of the time he is) and he’s the most generous person you’ll ever meet. As it turns out, if […]
One Up
Everywhere you look everyone is trying to one up each other. My kid’s an honor student, my dad is stronger than your dad, ect… Some people may not even say it but if you tell them an accomplishment of yours right away their mind goes to a better accomplishment they have achieved. Why is that? […]

Rebuilding
A little after motherhood is when I noticed that me had left. Now I’m trapped in this parallel universe somewhere between the life I have and the life I feel I should have. Claustrophobia isn’t an issue because the space between the two lives is immense. How does one stray so far off the path? […]
