Peace of mind may not have a monetary value but, good grief, it does have worth.

Universal Studios: FAMbulous. Also, ouch.
Yes, I know–I got to spend a week at Universal Studios taking behind-the-scenes tours of facilities, riding rides, and eating the best of park food. Now that I’ve completely lost your sympathy, let me explain what a FAM experience actually entails.
To Travel (Agent) or Not To Travel (Agent)
“Wait, so you’re, like, a real travel agent?” Often, when I hear this, I wonder if what I feel isn't exactly how Pinocchio felt when questioned about his real boy-ness. “Yes,” I want to respond, “According to all the hotel chains, I am real. According to all the cruise lines, I am real. According to … Continue reading To Travel (Agent) or Not To Travel (Agent)
Take The Trip.
It’s a tough decision, at the moment, whether to take a thirty-fourth stab at a quick nap or get to clicking away. I’m sitting on a flight headed to the left coast in a pseudo-spurt-of-the-moment jaunt to visit my husband as he completes a few weeks of training with his new company. I could certainly … Continue reading Take The Trip.
Furnace Yoga and the Year of “Yes.”
I smell like a goat. Or maybe smelling like a goat would be an upgrade. I smell more like a goat if it was eaten by a horse and then shit out days later, spread across a pig pasture, rolled in for weeks, and then deposited on the floor of a barn during a heatwave.

Perhaps this PSA will actually just be printed out in households around the world … Continue reading The Gifts that Don’t keep on Giving
Coming in hot
By the time you read this, well, I hope to gawd we’ve gotten our vacation shit together. Currently, at the completion of day two, not so much. I’m not even sure how it happened, other than it definitely was not my fault. Which is really the most important fact, right? In the re-telling of our … Continue reading Coming in hot
Lost and Found
Seven years after misplacing my child for the first time, I think it's finally safe to relay the chain of events to the public. Not so much because he's big enough now not get very lost (or at least, if he does, he is grown up enough to help himself), but because I'm one thousand … Continue reading Lost and Found
Shoot me a 5(oh)
Pre-blog disclaimer: This is about turning 50. There was a time in my life that I really didn't think I would make it all the way to 50 - which means I feel like posting this four days prior is a serious test of karma. If the ship goes down sometime between now and then … Continue reading Shoot me a 5(oh)
