Greetings all! Anyone ever been on a trip, promised friends that you would send a postcard and then didn’t send that postcard until you got home? Well, consider this your virtual postcard from Miami.
Because in a span of about 36 hours I went on a crazy and spontaneous adventure that spit me out in Miami and hurled me [...]

The other day I read an article that reported about a short man (some reports list him at 5′1″ another at 5′4″) that sexually assaulted a 12 year old. The maximum prison sentence that the man (found guilty) could have received was 10 years. However, the judge decided to give him 10 years of probabtion because the [...]

  Today, my alarm clock was like an annoyingly drunk rooster that wouldn’t shut up. Even after several snooze button decisions, I still could not shake the feeling of droopy in my eyes.
   In fact, 9 hours, 5 glasses of water, 3 cookies, a cup of coffee, and several irate passengers later (i’m obviously working at the airport today), I’m thinking [...]

  I’m on day 3 (of a 3 day voluntary commitment) of being nanny and it’s surprisingly fun (in a: I-can-only-do-this-for-a-few-days kind of way).  Getting to be around kid chatter and little personalitites is a different perspective. I’m thinking that one of the only reasons that it’s been relatively easy is because Lexi and Cole are both low maintenance and I can still get [...]

  Its been several days since my last entry and I’ve been trying to figure out why. Have I been doing anything creative? Am I finding anything inspiring? Well the answer is yes and yes. I have and am always finding things. But this week I just got into this groove of taking on the [...]

  Okay I’ve been talking about the book for sometime now and although the title (and cover design) is still a work in progress, I think I am almost there. Wanted to give you some pre-production love on the big project in process.
  You can also read the prologue HERE 
  I should be able to have published copies in the [...]

Today my car keys went missing.
I had stayed the night over at the “liloc motel” and couldn’t find them for the life of me. So I decide to ask my neice lexi.
“Have you seen tito’s car keys?” 
“Yes.” She nods. “They’re in the toybox.”
“Did you put them there?”
“Yes.”
“Will you help tito find them?”
“Yes.”
So we start emptying [...]

Today I’ve been thinking simply about: taking a few moments for myself.
Not a small amount of time where I’m still consumed with thoughts of: things to do, places to go, or chores to get to, but a few moments where I truly slow myself; Where I sit myself quietly and calm the “chatter” that is [...]

  Last night I had the fortune of celebrating with the one and only Mikie Gempler (Boardroom Concierge extraordinaire), who is off to the land of bigger and better things with his new promotion. Not only will he be able to live in the lap of Alaska Luxury (with his new salary increase), he’ll be getting [...]

Last night at the M’s game outside of Safeco Field I saw this guy and had to take a picture of him. I didn’t know why, but I knew I would have use for it. and I was right….

Becaause May 10th is Karissa’s (the world’s best sister in law) birthday.
She is a wonderfully talented and [...]
