I suppose the moment I really love about the first snow is falling asleep with your outside world in one state and waking up to a world with a blanket of snowflakes. I hope Seattle will comply this year - at least for one day (much more than...
"The Best Things In Life Aren't Things"

Had my first run in my smartwool socks… so far so good with the no blister guarantee. Running Greenlake was great, there was too much weekend traffic so I ran the outside - less view of the lake, but it’s such a good run.

I think I forgot how beautiful Seattle is until I flew over it yesterday and I think since I live here, I tend to forget to take advantage of all the amazing things it has to offer. Time for a change…

I wish I had a picture to show you, but Boulder, CO truly is a beautiful place. It seems that everyone here is either hiking, at the farmers market or watching football. After a looong, cold day of thinking I just might lose my toes, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty...

In honor of all veterans and to all those currently serving our country, Happy Veterans Day! From the bottom of my heart, today and every day, Thank You!
Ah So, Grasshoppa....
I’ve realized quite a bit lately…
I like Oh Henry!
I don’t like the bank ‘accidentally’ taking $1,000 from me… I also don’t like waiting 45 minutes for the explanation of “I don’t know, must just be an accident”
It’s not too early for Christmas music.
Got my snow tires on just in time - It snowed in Eastern Washington today...

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”
- John Wooden
Let me ask you, how does one manage to overlook four winter tires, covered in bright yellow bags, in the back of a truck? Well, whatever the answer, I managed to do so. I forgot my winter tires in the back of my uncle’s truck. Normally I would be frustrated at the fact that I...
Welcome To My World
If you’re looking for a little escape from your life…. Welcome to my world.
So here we are, blogging - true to definition, this is where I tell you all about my life, or someone else’s, some juicy gossip, the latest celebrity dish, or just simply…. narrate. And I think I’ll do just that, narrate.
Well, it’s already November… this month always makes me...
It's Official...
I’m addicted to life.
Cutting it close, but trying to keep up with my ‘one a day’ here is a good quote for living the good life.
