  • 2017-07-23 The Mantra Cheeseburger.. 3.5

    There’s this restaurant on Maple street I’ve driven past dozens of times before. They have a tree out front that is artificial and lights up year round (not a Christmas tree). I’ve never looked up the name or thought to stop before to see what it was like, even though I have thought about it.…

  • 2017-07-23 Not Quite the Night I Was Hoping For

    Of all the things I thought I might be writing about when I woke up today, being sick overnight was not one of them. I expected, after having a couple drinks at dinner and taking a Xanax that I would sleep like a baby (finally) and wake up rested and ready for a wonderful Sunday.…

  • 2017-07-22 Topic Indecision

    5:13 PM I feel like there are so many things I want to write about now, that I can’t write about any of it because I just can’t seem to focus to pick one. My mind, racing as always, will not slow down enough for me to fix myself on one end and get there.…

  • 2017-07-21 Me and My Witches Hat

    I have two words for people who make assumptions about other people.. Just Don’t. I sometimes repeat myself if I feel really strongly about something.. Just Don’t. Yesterday I was just finishing watering my potted plants and going through the house from the back to the front door and nearly missed a man putting a…

  • 2017-07-20: These are a Few of Our Favorite Things…

    On the plane ride home I asked my kids about our vacation with very specific questions. I think what you retain in your memories is solidified by recalling it several times, especially when it is fresh in your mind. I’m asking myself the same questions and will see how my answers stack up next to…

  • 2017-07-19 Finally Home

    It’s not like the journey took us a long time, but arriving at midnight makes it seem that way. I had less sleep last night than the four or five previous days and immediately started unpacking and doing laundry as soon as I was up. I’ve kind of been just going through the motions today,…

  • 2017-07-18 PNW Day 8 (Part 2): The Traveling Trio

    I spent about an hour this AM in the fitness center at the hotel, which pretty much amounted to a room with a treadmill, elliptical machine, a weight machine, and a TV. I let the kids geek out with their iPads in the room while I got my steps in for the day. I opted…

  • 2017-07-18 PNW Day 8: Headed Home

    I ended up driving back to Portland last night with every intention of just returning the rental car and staying at a hotel near the airport and taking the shuttle when it was time to go. Instead, when we arrived, I thought maybe since our flight does not leave until later in the afternoon, I…
