Type-A Parent Conference Ticket Winner
150 entries are in. The competition was fierce. Seriously, so much love for Type-A Parent Conference. I ran the contest through Rafflecopter, with results through Random.org, and the winner is… (drumroll please…) Andrea Bates of the blog Good Girl Gone Redneck! Her extra tweet on the last day of the contest did the trick. I […]
Octobre
October is my favorite month of the year. Not only does the shift in weather punctuate, the end of the hot, oppressive summer; October is the month that I celebrate my wedding anniversary with my Tayviator. The days and nights are a bipolar mix between needing the heat and air-conditioning on. The leaves on the […]
Airline Mergers and Acquisitions
I can hardly keep up with all of the recent airline mergers and acquisitions. Aviation tends to be in the news fairly frequently, last year being particularly eventful. I’m not sure if more is going on than in past years, or if I’m just paying more attention. Twitter keeps me pretty connected to the latest […]
The Dark Side
For so long, I’ve been putting off this post. It’s tough to talk about personal, difficult things in a public forum like a blog. I’ve had so many people check up on me…wondering why I’m not blogging, why I’m not showing up to social events, or why I just haven’t acted like myself. I thought […]
Phony McPhonerton
Tomorrow (or tonight, or Thursday, who knows?) I’m leaving for New York City. I’m headed to the BlogHer Conference, which I’ve been excited about for MONTHS. Excited but anxious. I’ve read other bloggers’ accounts of their past experiences at the BlogHer concerences, and it seems like it could be a fine combination of awkward, awful, […]
When He Leaves
Sometimes it’s really hard to be married to a man who spends more time away from you than with you. Every month around the 22nd, he gets his schedule for the next month. It’s usually a celebration of a good amount of time off, or cursing the work rules that make commuting a near impossibility. […]
One Month, One Year
It’s been almost one month since my last blog post, and it’s the one year anniversary of me moving back to Utah. Both seem hard for me to believe. Dates and anniversaries are significant to me. I have a strangely accurate recollection of dates from the past. 3/15/1995 brings a chill to my spine. 7/10/2004 […]
Everyone Must Breathe
Right now I’m working on one of those blog posts that is dripping with so much pain and emotion that I can only write a little bit every day. A real peek into my soul. It’s harder than I thought. Be patient. In the mean time, these song lyrics have been repeating in my mind. […]
Tulips, Pansies, and Rosie
Could anything be more delightful than spending a beautiful spring evening with my lovely daughter Rosie? Can’t think of anything at the moment.
