Growing up in Reno I took the snow for granted. And I am homesick for it today:(I appreciated how beautiful it could make the brown desert in just a few simple hours, and how I could miss school all day due to it's relentless ambush on the biggest little city. I loved how quiet it could make everything, and how it cracks under your feet. And how it makes the darkest night still bright enough you would think a porch light was...

Why can't this train go to Hawaii?
I am my mother's daughter when it comes to time management and organization (or should I say disorganization). I am nothing like my sister in these categories, wish as I may.... I am not. I would like to think I am not a "YES" girl, and I am trying to be a more "ME" girl. But truth is, I am a yes girl and want my cake and eat it too:) kind...

I'm listening, I'm listening....so now you decide to not talk?
I get the message loud and clear. I will not be taking the left hand turn.But now my options are straight or right! I get it, I get it...no left, but still not even a hint? This is the current conversation in my frustrated brain. I need a plan...or maybe that is the message......I do not need a plan? Hmmmmm, now how to learn to NOT have a plan:)...

Why do I let myself fall off that wagon?
As I mentioned a couple of posts ago.... I did not come from the most athletic family. Sorry mom and dad but it's true. We didn't go on hikes together as a family or really even walks all that often. Yes my parents did get us into skiing/snowboarding and always supported sports like basketball, but really I didn't grow up with this yearning of the NEED to exercise. My sister and I have discussed this in great length and it...

Happy Valentines Day

Called the the wishbone from the custom of two people breaking apart the bone after eating: the person with the longer part makes a wish.I like jewelry, what girl doesn't. And I like watching movies, what girl doesn't:) So I was watching...

Today is ride numero 2
As I get ready for today's ride, I have been thinking about how far I've come. I've said it before but I don't come from the most athletic family. My dad ran cross-country in high school (they say he was pretty awesome) and my mom's claim to fame was badminton. Really, badminton. Which for the record mom....is NOT a sport. Oh and she was a sign holder for the band (which is more of a modeling thing in my mind), again not a sport:)...
Babies are such a nice way to start people
I read that on a card once....babies are a nice way to start people. And it really is true. They are so sweet. My girlfriend had her first baby on February 2nd. She had a bumpy pregnancy with lots of nausea but I think it was all well worth it. I through her a shower just in time (last Sunday!) and the little one came on Wednesday. I snuck...
