  • 2018-09-12 The Day that Time Forgot

    I thought Monday was a long day until Tuesday happened. Tuesday felt kinda like that day you finally feel like you are really on vacation and trying too hard to do all the right vacation-y things. It was a stormy day here in Cancun and so there was no beach going or frolicking in the…

  • 2018-09-10 A New Personal Record

    Late in 2016, when I was a wreck and my life was a bloody mess and I cried at the top of my stairs and I cried at the bottom of my stairs and I cried in my car on the way to just about everywhere, I wrote a lot. Sometimes, the writing was the…

  • 2018-09-10 Firsts You Never Want to Have

    I’ve traveled a lot. I’ve booked a lot of flights and always make good time getting through airports and connecting flights. Truth be told, I’m typically overly conservative and leave at least an hour layover just in case things are delayed or there is a big gap in between connecting gates. I’d rather be early…

  • 2018-09-10 SugarCookie on the Move Again

    I’m sitting here on this plane and it was dark when we boarded. I can’t say I ever really have a strategy for picking a seat, other than the fact that I like to sit next to the window and probably as close to the front of the plane as possible and not in an…

  • 2018-09-10 Sisterhood of the Traveling Skirts

    Pants are for chumps. If you could just wake up and throw on like one article of clothing and a pair of shoes you would too. That’s the beauty of dresses and not having to think too much about anything at 4AM. 4AM — when most of the world is sleeping — the airport is…

  • 2018-09-06 Quick Trips

    In the last two days I traveled (via car) to Rochester Minnesota and back. I was given a quick tour of the Mayo campus and also of the town. It’s surprisingly a small town and the Mayo thing is at the center of it and pretty much all they have going on. I was actually…

  • 2018-07-30 Waking Up in KC

    I do so love a good road trip and KC is just the perfect distance away for me to get my fix AND end up in a city with so much to do. Historically there’s been a wide range of reasons for visiting. Great wolf lodge with the kids, worlds of fun and oceans of…

  • 2018-07-29 How is it Still Sunday?

    Right now I’m sitting on a bed in a hotel room with two teenagers that just had soda and habitually stay up past 3am. It’s 9:30 pm and I’ve been in 4 states today, driven back and forth across the Missouri River several times, and went 75mph on a roller coaster, speeding toward the ground.…
