Driving

Since the Honda died 4 weeks ago, here is what I have been doing: 1) Checking Craigslist incessantly for cars. I am on the hunt for something that is Colorado-worthy, will do well in snow, and has high enough clearance to get into the mountains in the summer – however, I also want something with…

BREAKING NEWS: my EP (yes, of 2009 renown) is finally available for digital download. What took me so long?  Oh, I don’t know.  My mom getting cancer.  Moving across the country.  Running so much.  Traveling so much.  Going to so many weddings.  Various existential crises. I guess it took the Honda dying and leaving me…

I know.  You have been nervously refreshing the page every moment since last Friday, awaiting an update as to the Honda’s fate. Well, people, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I’m alive. The bad news is that if oil were blood, my engine would be the beaches of Normandy….

My sister Sarah recently introduced me to DJ Earworm, who, at the end of each December, creates an epic mashup of the top 25 songs of the year. They are ridiculous. I know I love country music, but Earworm makes me want to be a pop star SO BAD. Check them out – 2007, 2008,…

As we waited for the sun to sink in the west, 4-year old Kate asked me why the fireworks hadn’t started yet. “Because,” I explained, “the sky is still light.  The sun needs to travel all the way to California before it will be dark.” I felt proud of my explanation – until little Annabelle…

I need to tell you about yesterday’s drive. Wait.  First, Merry Christmas.  Merry Christmas!  It’s heeeeeeere! Now for the rest.  It should be obvious by the fact that I’m posting this blog, but lest you wring your hands throughout the holidays, I should let you know that I made it to Colorado last night.  The…

My deficit of sleep and surplus of emotion have left me with a raging case of stress acne.  Just in time for Christmas! This Christmas Eve morning finds me in Kansas City, having driven out of Nashville yesterday without crying a single tear.  Scrape a face off Mt. Rushmore to make room for mine –…

I arrived home last night to 2 dead flies on my bedroom carpet, and one crawling on the wall above my closet. I killed it with my bible study book. Then, I discovered 4 more humongous, buzzy black flies in my bathroom. I shut them in there in hopes that when I woke up in…

Surely, you’ve been missing my face. Here you go – to tide you over until we meet again (or ever) (or never) in the flesh. Significant Fog from Annie Parsons on Vimeo. And now, let us soldier on through Monday.
