How to Not Visit Detroit and Ford Motors
Remember how I was going to Detroit for the Ford Driving Green Technology Event? Remember that? Remember how I tweeted yesterday - from the Colorado Springs airport - about how I was waiting for the plane? Remember how I got my hair chopped off JUST for the occasion? Remember how I posted about the Blazer of Shame just to show how excited I was? REMEMBER? Well. Would you like to hear about my trip? The one I took yesterday? You would, wouldn't you? I believe a timeline will best ... Continue Reading
The Nonexistent Car (or The Blazer of Shame)
My car died some months ago. The precious, precious burgundy 1997 Mercury Sable I had purchased before Napster was even a twinkle in a pirate's eye. Many road trips happened in that car. Many moves.

Honeyed Wine and Chocolate Facial Mask
Confession: I cooked absolutely nothing over the holidays. However, I thought a LOT about what other people should cook. That counts for something. Thinking is the hardest part, right?

So keep on reading. Okay. Ready? Remember this? Well, it is now this: The reason I decided to ... Continue Reading
Improving On The New Year’s Resolution
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions. ~Joey Adams Does anybody even make New Year's Resolutions anymore? Did you? Secretly? (You don't have to tell me. But I'm curious if you think you'll keep them.) It's been at least five years since I've bothered to make a resolution, save the one every dang New Year's Day where I swear I'll never, ever drink a fourth glass of champagne on New Year's Eve ever again. In my defense, I always have an entire year to ... Continue Reading
