Fall in love with being alive
Originally for this weekend I had a whole afternoon planned for me and my husband that I liked to call “Maple Climbing”. The afternoon of my imagination went something like this: On Saturday morning (because I am a morning person and my husband is not) I would make rock cakes while he slept. For lunch […]
Happy Easter! My cousin sent me this article which is a great read if you have a few minutes. My question for him was “Do you have any plans for doing things differently/changing things when it starts going back to “normal”?” I have that question for myself as well. And I don’t have an answer […]
Today I was thinking that you’re only ever one day away from the worst news of your life. A global pandemic has essentially shut down life as we know it, a family friend just found out he has a brain tumor, a co-worker’s mom just had a heart attack, an acquaintance just committed suicide, a […]
What is there to say about all this COVID-19 business that hasn’t already been said? Life in a pandemic goes on much the same as regular life. Well, with a few small differences. I went to work I got a haircut at my local hairdresser. I went to kickboxing class I got rolls at my […]
The first thing I’d like to say is that the Rock Climbing gym smells really and truly terrible. It’s like a mixture of uncleaned hoarder house, bare feet inside old bowling shoes, and sweaty gym clothes. I find it oddly comforting. In some ways it’s safe to say that rock climbing is what started me […]
BONUS WEDNESDAY POST! I wrote this before the Tornado That Is Coronavirus swept through our lives: “Once a week, I try to tame the fop of hair I usually keep in front of my left eyeball in order to attend a kickboxing class. And my question most weeks is… why do I do this to […]
I’m sure you’ve all noticed the world has gone mad. A word that wasn’t even in our vocabulary a year ago is now one of the auto options on my phone when I start typing coro– On our before-bed-dog-walk I was discussing it with my husband, who’s life and news feeds seem completely devoid of […]
BONUS WEDNESDAY POST! Speaking of weird millennial phenomenon like Goat Yoga, have you heard about Van Life and Axe Throwing? These two things have nothing to do with each other, I’m not talking about some weird van destroying activities. No vans were harmed in the making of this blog. This past weekend we went to […]
Me to my husband: “I signed up for a goat yoga class” My husband: “Cool.” Me: “Yeah, I wanted to see what the hype is all about, it’s like a national phenomenon.” Husband: “Wait. You’re being serious?” Me: “Yup! They have baby goats, and you do yoga with them, it’s a whole thing.” Husband: “Can […]
BONUS WEDNESDAY POST! It’s winter. It’s cold. I thought it was time for a hike. More specifically though, we were expecting a 50 degree day in late February and I actually did think it would be a nice day for a hike. Unfortunately the park I picked (called Greenwood) is 20 miles north of our […]
