    Sky High

    When I fly alone, I require the aisle. I like to limit the stranger danger and I also like to know that I’m guaranteed at least one armrest. But, if you and I were to travel together, I’d probably request the window. Not only because I could use your shoulder for a pillow but also…

    Life List: updates

    Last week I made reference to a “bucket list” brainstorming session I had on Wednesday night. I don’t think a bucket list needs to be long or especially challenging but there is something to be said for keeping it fresh. In the spirit of keeping things fresh, here is the evidence of my brainstorming last…

    Not my cup of tea.

    I have a few blog posts that I’ve been meaning to write – mainly an update to my life list and a note on my rental car for the week…. so stay tuned for those. But, I feel as though I need to talk about my trip to the gym last night. I’ve been working…

  • Today I am thankful for ….

A few months ago, I blogged in my 200th post that coincided with my “blogaversary” about the changes that have happened in the last year.

  • Pants free since '93

    Pants free since '93

    Ok, not since ’93 but I like things that rhyme. Back in the Fall, I gave up wearing pants. Pants to work, I guess I should be more specific. It has made my traveling life a lot easier since I only have to pack 4 dresses instead of trying to figure out what goes with…

    Oh, how I love gifts from the ocean!

    Source: google.com via Jennifer on Pinterest The arrival of spring and porch season has also brought me thoughts of summer and beach walks. Any walk on the beach to me is an adventure in looking for still perfect shells or bits of sea glass glittering in the sun {see summer 2010 beach post}. Love gifts…
