A post to title and no title to post

Quite often, when I set out to write a post, I’ve given it some thought for at least half an hour. If I sit down to write with nothing to write about, I find myself lost in a sea of words. My fingers trip over the keys of my laptop searching out some fancy words […]

As David Bowie so harmoniously sang about…

My life has seen so many positive changes since the Sweet Boy and I moved west. I blogged about the most important… well… most sentimental one last month. The other changes have just fallen into place. No pomp. No circumstance. Just changes slowly seeping into how we do things and ever so slowly changing the […]

A Pretend Summary

Since it’s been what seems like 3 years since my last blog post (okay, half a year, but who’s counting?) I really should give you a good summary of what’s been going on since I last checked in. But that sounds hard… doesn’t it? How do you summarize the past 6 months in an entertaining […]

Let’s Talk Hawg

DISCLAIMER his post is all about BBQ which means it’s all about meat which means it might not appeal to you. That’s why I don’t have a picture. I looked for a picture of a hawg, but really, all of the pictures were of cute little piggies. Deep down, I felt bad about that. Sorry. […]

N’awlins

Whew! I just flew back to Portland after a whirlwind trip to New Orleans for the annual IAVM conference. It was my 4th VenueConnect and I feel that I finally have found my groove. People know me, I know people, and I can make it through an entire conference with only 1 nap. Just 1 […]

A disappearance

The water cooler in the office at work was missing this morning. I was taunted by the row of delicious, refreshing, clean 5 gallon bottles of water. My Nalgene bottle rested sadly in my hands… empty… full of so much untapped potential…lacking in the one thing I need in the morning besides coffee (don’t tell […]

A racap, if you will

Bad Erin. BAD! I know I should be blogging. Here I am, during this MAJOR transition/growth period/wearing big girl pants part of my life and I have hardly uttered a word. Well, written a word, I suppose, many a words have verbally been uttered. I’ve noticed this before. When I’m very happy and content with […]

Greetings… from Portland!

Well, I’m in Portland and have been here for a week. I’m not settled though. So I won’t say much. Because I think being settled will allow for more literary creativity and what now. I do have a fun picture of a box of donuts to share though. Donuts are important. Especially Voodoo donuts. Especially […]

1 week shy of 9 years

I’ve been trying to write this post for a couple of weeks but it hasn’t come easily. I want to talk about what the move to a new venue, new job and new town really means to me. I mean REALLY means to me. But I’m afraid I can’t figure it out. 4 weeks ago, […]
