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 was this close to the 2010 winter Olympics

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I moved out of Utah in 2000.  The winter Olympics were there in 2002.  I was always disappointed that I missed out on all the excitement of actually being at the Olympics.  (That being said, I don’t know a single person in Utah that actually attended any of the events.  That totally baffles me to [...]

(Don’t lie, [...]

We’re flying to Los Angeles tomorrow. Yeah, I know my husband’s out of work and we shouldn’t be spending money. But, we planned this trip back when he had a job. We also pre-paid for the trip back then too. So, we’re good to go.
When we made the original plans for this [...]

In which I almost fell off Mt. Rainier and died

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Every winter, when I was younger, my family would put on our snowsuits and boots, pack up our 3-wheelers and had up to Salt Lake City to this one specific mountain to go ridin’ as a family. And every night before we headed out I laid awake in my bed and worried about the ride. [...]
