In Search of: The Good Things in Life

It’s been a bit quiet on the blog-front lately.  Scratch that.  It’s been quiet on the publishing side of things, but in the background, I assure you, a whole heck of a lot is happening.  I’m working on some big changes to my little corner of the internet.  As I marched into 2012, I was [...]

Fremont Street Experience (Or, The One in Which I Go Ziplining!)

I’m always excited to report the checking off of an item from the bucket list.  And, wooho, I get to do just that today!  A month or so ago, I was going over my list with Angela, talking about how I needed to check more things off (and trying to talk her into doing as [...]

My Time to Fly

This last year or so, I’ve been talking a lot about traveling out of the country. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.  I can’t explain it, really.  The draw. It eats at me.  I daydream about spending months in developing countries.  I do internet research.  I make lists.  I get butterflies in my stomach [...]

On Skydiving, Hang Gliding and Taking Chances

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. All right.  So I’ve put some thought into this whole skydiving thing.  I haven’t totally ruled it out.  But here’s why I’m not quite sure yet: I had dinner at Mireya’s house a few days ago, and we talked in more detail [...]

Seeking: One Skinny Dipping Partner

So I was looking at my Life List today.  If you take a look, you’ll see that I have it split into two separate lists — one for the things I plan to do this year, and one for the things I plan to do whenever the opportunity arises.  Back in February, I also posted [...]

Adventures in Seattle

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or StumbleUpon. This week, Steven and I spent our days road-tripping through Seattle. Steven is doing his residency up at Seattle Children’s Hospital, and we figured now was as good a time as any to check out what will soon be our new home. [...]

Why Bon Jovi is My Perfect Self Help Guru

But before I get into that, let me first just tell you the most fabulous thing that happened to me over the weekend.  I completed #11 on the bucket list — I saw Bon Jovi in concert! Hooray for life lists and setting goals for no reason other than fun and living life out loud! [...]

How to Look Good Naked

Models on magazine covers aren’t real.  Besides, they spend their mornings in the gym, their afternoons at the dermatologist and their evenings with a nutritionist.  And we know that even they have imperfections.  If they didn’t, why would the magazine feel the need to shave inches off their hips and provide breast enhancement via Photoshop? [...]

In Search of Squid is Shiny and New

I’m SO excited!  The new site is finally up and running — woohoo! The past two weeks have been a bit crazy.  I’ve been working hard to move the old blog over to its shiny new home.  The project took way longer than I thought it would.  But in the end, I’m thrilled with the [...]
