Hello?   (Helloooo?)   ((Helloooooooo?)) Is anyone still here? If you’re wondering if the iPhone swallowed me, the answer is NO COMMENT. I spent the weekend in my hometown of Montrose, Colorado.  I went over for a dentist appointment, since Dan Clader, D.D.S., is my longest term relationship to date (22 years).  After last summer’s debacle…

I’m kind of a late bloomer.  I was born 2 weeks after my due date.  I didn’t kiss a boy until it was shocking that I hadn’t kissed a boy.  I still don’t know any rap songs. But this week, finally, years after everyone else, I got an iPhone. And it’s the most amazing thing…

I didn’t know that moving my stuff into storage would cause so many questions. Oh, you and your questions! It’s really not a big secret – here’s the deal.  My lease is up at the end of March.  I’ve loved this apartment – truly, more than any other physical space I’ve ever occupied.  But parking…

It is Monday.  Again. Monday is a difficult way to spend 1/7th of one’s life. However, I’ll have you know that the weekend was a raging success.  I moved all of my earthly belongings out of my apartment and into a storage unit – mainly thanks to my mom (who packed my entire household while…

I am having a hard time feeling like The Real Me right now, since The Real Me thrives on routine and nesting and eating the exact same thing for breakfast every morning.  But 2011 has offered no rest for the weary, and no predictability for your truly. The past few months have been a rough…

These days, I am jolting from one crazy big thing to the next.  Many of these things are good, wonderful, amazing things.  I mean, I flew to Haiti for a week of snuggling babies and expanding my vision.  I wrote songs about Larabar and spent a weekend under the palm trees.  I bought a car…

It’s been a long time. I’ve searched and searched. I’ve been scammed. I’ve been disappointed. I’ve been tempted to give up all hope. But yesterday, my dreams came true. Because when it comes to a car hunt, you can’t just be ruthless. Be Subaruthless.

I have a few things to tell you about – not because anyone asked me to, but just because I think they’re awesome. – – – – – – – – First off, my dear friend Ginger (yes, the Ginger I met only at her own wedding) has a new website – gingerciminello.com – and…

Whatever it is, I’m bewaring it.

The LÄRABAR weekend has come and gone – and all I can say is that I want to go back to the land of palm trees and free samples. It was amazing.  Basically the greatest ever. Want to hear one of the (many) LÄRABAR songs we sang (many times)?  Here you go. We spent the morning…
