In which I don’t hike to the top of Mt. Rainier, but I get pretty close

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

As a teenager every Easter weekend was spent camping at Zion National Park.  My family had a favorite camp ground and a favorite camp spot (near the water, under the shade, close enough to walk to the bathrooms/showers).  Yep, that’s how we camped; toilets and showers were a must.  (It must be noted [...]

In which I got what I asked for

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Remember how the only thing I asked for for Christmas was food storage?
The King hated this idea.  He didn’t think it was any “fun”. When I told my mother-in-law that I would like some type of food storage shelfing system for our garage, he quickly thwarted the idea.

I’ve had throat issues for almost a month now.  I haven’t been feeling sick.  I just sound like a man when I talk.  A few nights ago I‘d finally had enough of it and I downed some NyQuil.  (Oh how I love thee.)
Today my throat is killing me.  And I still sound like a man.
I’m [...]
