"She's going to do what?!"
Slow and steady wins the race, right? I leave in exactly one week (egads!). More friends have stepped forward to walk with me by supporting SCLS in my one-woman-walk-a-thon: it is now up to $576! THANK YOU! When I land in London next Tuesday morning (Monday night in Seattle), I will have a long ways... Continue Reading →
I have grown to really hate Apple. Seriously. Why are they now making us pay $700+ on payment plans tied to our phone service for their little pocket computers that only last 12 months at the most? Or at least that's how long they seem to last for me. Example: my current iPhone 6+ is... Continue Reading →
It was time to color my roots once again, but I also have little more than a week before I'm on the road. So... Yeah... I'm typing this out right now waiting for the purple to process (and yes, it's 11:30 pm-- see my post last night at 11:30 pm about not having control of... Continue Reading →
I can't believe I'm flying to London in 12 days. I also can't believe that I've been so incredibly busy with work that I haven't posted an update in almost a month. I am now on the other side of that monster work event (a big success, thanks for asking), am trying desperately to get... Continue Reading →
I will admit it: I'm burned out on this work event and it's still 8 days away. Just had a lovely (but short) evening hosting wonderful friends to watch this week's RuPaul Drag Race All Stars 3, and happy to report that our beloved Seattle queen, the terminally delightful BenDeLaCreme, survived another week. I kicked... Continue Reading →
Thank you for all of your support! My one woman walk-a-thon for Snohomish County Legal Services is now at $288 (out of $5,000 goal). Please feel free to share links to this page and help spread the word. I'm grateful! Thermometer By ABC Fundraising®
I am now completely consumed by this work event on March 3, but I am still thinking about Camino prep. I just haven't had the time to write extensive updates but I assure you I am still going. A good friend helped adjust my pack and figure out what all the straps do; another good... Continue Reading →
The prepping and planning has really moved along in the last three days and I have lots of "new thotz" to share, but alas, work vs. daylight hours vs. body need for some sleep means I only have time to dash out a quick update tonight with the most solid bit of planning that has...

The most common question I get these days is if I'm worried about my personal safety. The answer has always been "no, I'm a city girl." And let's be honest: I am a 6' tall Amazonian woman who rarely feels physically threatened by others (it has happened, but rare). I am much more concerned for... Continue Reading →
The trip still feels so far away, but it is quickly becoming a reality and no longer an abstract concept. Plane tickets purchased at New Years. Guide books bought and sufficient initial research completed. Sports bra that fits and isn't trying to choke me to death bought. OK. Fine. But the dirty secret is that... Continue Reading →
