[Mahalo] In Fifty Years…
I will be peeing in my disposable adult underwear when I read this book — In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks… And Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy. The book is written by my not brother from a hippy mother Adam Carolla. Carolla is the kind of guy people seem to love […]

[Simply Seattle] Step by Step
(Edit: Thank you Heather for correcting me!) Five years ago I became smitten with Seattle. It took more than 4 years to return. The first time we did some typical touristy things — toured Pike Place Market, took pictures and had dinner at the Space Needle, cruised the Locks, visited the aquarium and jammed at […]

[A Walk on the Flip Side] Get into the Groove
I’ve always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. So, it’s no surprise that I enjoy the web series Vinyl Rewind, hosted by the Vinyl Geek and (as of season 2) and Miz Mel. In each episode the Vinyl Geek (aka Eric Callero) showcases a single artist/band/album. While some of the artists […]
[Get Juiced] Power on the Go
I upgrade my dumbphone just about as soon as my carrier gives me the green light to do so. While the chargers are now USB based and universal, the batteries are not. I’ve never bought a backup battery for any of my dumbphones, but the worrier in me decided I would need some sort of backup in case I am […]
[Abnormally Normal] You Are Not Alone
Podcasts have been a godsend for me.There came a point where “radio” became mush. Some music sounds the same, probably because the “artists” have the same songwriters and producers and tech guy altering their voices. I frequently listen to a few select podcasts, but one of them really stands out to me — The Mental […]
[Safety & Comfort] It’s in the Bag
I was planning my first major vacation of the year. Based on previous trips, which involved a lot of being on my feet, I had learned that lugging my large purse around with me was not going to be a good idea. So, I searched everywhere for a bag that would be compact yet big […]
[All Aboard] Vacay That’s on the Right Track
Vacations. We all need them once in a while. There are plenty of ways to get to your destination, but I have found that riding the train has been on of the most enjoyable experiences. Yes, it takes longer to get to your destination, but flights are often delayed and cars will run out of […]
[Be Dazzled] The Only Best Friend I’ll Ever Need
I wasn’t going to splurge on myself on my birthday, but I felt like I deserved to treat myself this year. Instead of something I really want but should not buy because they lose their luster so fast (i.e., handbags), I opted to go with something classic. I got a pair of diamond earrings from […]
Shop SHOP SHOPPPPP! (Please!)
As much as we deny it, we need stuff — video games, jewelry, clothes, shoes, and hygiene products. But if you tend to get lazy like me, it’s too much of a hassle to get dressed and go to the store. But today is your lucky day! I’ve added a link to my Amazon store […]
[Read All About It] Twiporn? Nah! Fifty Shades of OH MY? Yes!
I love writing, but reading is a whole different story. Whenever I pick up a book, I start yawning before I can turn the page. That (sort of) changed when my friend turned me on to the Twilight series. Since then, I have had some faith in some of her suggested reading. After dodging a […]
