I had to go to Costco last week. We were out of toilet paper. For real. We were down to the six pack of State Farm branded mini tissues I snagged from my Eugene Half Marathon goodie bag, and put in the bathroom for emergencies (okay, seriously, they are good neighbors!) I couldn’t wait another day. [...]
We aren’t buying snacks at the movie theater, I told the kids before we left for Pirates of the Caribbean. Too expensive, and we don’t need all that junk food. I hardly ever eat sugar any more, since I started the Paleo Diet, so we have less junk food in the house. Sometimes the kids get [...]
I took the Pink Oh! Shoes on an adventure in San Francisco last week. We also went to the U2 concert in Oakland, where my friends from the Moonalice Band opened the show, and I met fellow Tribe members in real life, and affirmed that Oh! Shoes were made for walking, touring and dancing. Yes, [...]
Yes, I did drive 100 miles to try on purple suede heels, pink python flats, and metallic platform sandals. Duh, who wouldn’t? So here’s my journey to the Oh! Shoes Warehouse, to pick up some happiness for my feet. I took the shoes to San Francisco, and I’ll tell you all about that next. Yes, [...]
I have climbed the highest mountain. I have run through the fields. Only to be with you. Only to be with you. I have run – I have crawled. I have scaled these city walls, only to be with you. And I did it all wearing the pink Oh! shoe! I think I just found what [...]
I’m going to San Francisco tomorrow, and to the Moonalice concert in Oakland. They’re opening for That Irish Band. You know, that band with those guys who have funny nick names? Bono. The Edge. Adam. Larry. Yeah, them. And I’m taking Alana, the Pink Oh! Shoe with me, because she needs to experience music, and [...]
“Mom, can you kill something for me?” he said. “No, but maybe your sister can help,” I said. She is great at saving spiders and creepy crawly things. She always has been. “But I want it dead,” he said, “so it doesn’t come back in the house again.” “But it would hurt Buddha’s feelings,” I [...]
Here’s me, this morning, at 5:40 a.m. Outside. By a pool. That I know I’m going to have to jump into. Because this is what athletes do, apparently. They get up early and swim in the cool air, and they go running in the rain, and they ride bikes faster than they need to, even [...]
In our family, Memorial Day is about honoring the dead by touring the pioneer cemeteries where at least five generations of ancestors, who traveled by covered wagon to Oregon, are resting in Peace. We listen to stories and remember to stick the flags into the grassy dirt, softened by months of rain, at the head [...]
