10 Years A Friend
Today marks 10 years since I started at my first job in Kansas City, Missouri. Because I’ve had issues with iCloud and Dropbox over the years, I don’t have any pictures from 2014, but I know I took a lot of them. So this picture of my roommate and me taken by a photographer friend…

A Snow Day!
Today I woke up to a snow day. As a self-employed person, I have the luxury of taking the day off when the sky decides to dump 6 inches of snow. Thankfully I had cleared the schedule when they began threatening the amount of snow we were supposed to get. I’m really glad I did,…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…

Treasure! (A Hot Cheeto Story)
This is a new story in regard to my “pet” dragon, Hot Cheeto. Find the last story here! It is also loosely based on true events. It was a cold, late-autumn evening when my friend and I decided to run to the village for Christmas gifts for our families. Naturally, I caved when Hot Cheeto…

Hot Cheeto (A Short Story)
I needed an outlet for my overactive brain. This story started out based on a true story, but it’s definitely fictionalized. There I was, minding my own business, when a friend walked up to me in my shop one day and said, “I found the cutest thing and I think you’ll like it a lot!”…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Expectations Met
After what seemed like the longest summer ever, I only have two more trips planned– that are NOT working trips!– and then I will be in Kansas City from the beginning of November until the end of January at the very least. I gotta be honest… I love traveling, but I am 100% traveled out.…

The Travel Diaries
What this post was going to be and what it has become are two very different things, but I know now all the procrastinating was for a reason. The above pictures are from my annual trip to South Bend, Indiana, with my best friends… what this post is now going to be about is none…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…
