The past several weeks have been so full. I’ve had multiple work trips (Minneapolis, San Francisco, Anaheim), three humongous work events, houseguests, family visits, and a particular emotional roller coaster that’s still unfolding. With each close friend that I confide in, I realize that my heart is hoping more and more for a certain outcome,…

Trail food
This is the week! I leave on Saturday to hoof it across this beautiful state on the Colorado Trail. I am wrapping up details at work, trying to get my roof repaired (this is cutting it very close), writing out instructions for those taking care of Foxy, and triple checking my packing list. The most…

30. Thirty. 30!!
“Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.” -Robert Frost I may be less than a day in, but I can say with confidence that I love my 30s. Today has been the best ever – breakfast with a full house of guests and sisters and…
Truck driver
After a whirlwind game of “drive to Texas as fast as you can,” I’m back in Colorado today. A few things of note: – I drove the world’s nicest Penske truck. It had a CD player, and an icy cold air conditioner. It accelerated on the up-hills, and hugged the turns like it wanted to…

You just never know
Happy July 1st, my sweet and patient friends. Come on. You knew I’d have a video. As you can tell, I needed a little bit of breathing room in June. Things have been heavy and confusing and stressful, and I didn’t want to spew my emotional guts all over your internet each day (that would…

Holy môlé
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…

Talk about my booty on the internet?
Don’t mind if I do. And in case you think I’m a fraud because I’ve said I’m not training anymore, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill last night, and 7 outside on Saturday. So, see? I’m still doing my thang (although last year at this time, I was running 12 miles, so YES I…

“Point your hand over there”
As inspired by this man… … we’ve been working on our dance moves: Double Dream Girls from Annie Parsons on Vimeo. The best moments are at 2:05 (“point your hand over there!”), 2:42 (“butterfly!”), 2:47 (“freestyle!”), and 2:52 (Becca’s amazing punch).

Holy Môlé
The best LÄRABAR that ever existed was Cocoa Môlé – but earlier this fall, they retired the flavor, so I gnashed my teeth and tore my sackcloth. But late on Friday afternoon, Miranda pointed me toward an announcement on their Facebook wall: We just uncovered 35 boxes of Cocoa Môlé (16 bars/box). It’s the last…

Living proof
I’m baaaaaack… I missed you. I missed blogging. Blogging is the only fool-proof way to make sure that someone pays attention to me every day. Just kidding! People pay attention to me when I steal, too. I made a video, but I’ve been having technological troubles of the worst degree, so it’s fuzzy. Sorry. My…
