requesting life’s rollercoaster to be more like the It’s A Small World ride

Hey there! Did ya have a good Fourth of July?!
The 4th here was great. And I have a video of the fireworks we saw in our little Bainbridge Island harbor to prove it.

Ah, yes, it was lovely. I even ran my second 5K that morning and managed to move around afterwards [...]

7 Things They Don’t Tell You About Being a Woman in Her 40’s

[Okay, I'm 29, not really, 39 43 and not waaaaaay into my 40's, so I may need to amend this list in a few years to add more data for you young'uns.]

yes, pecan! no!

Did you read about Ben & Jerry’s latest new flavor of ice cream, the Yes, Pecan! flavor? I haven’t sucked down a whole pint yet tasted it yet, but only because I object to the whole notion.

Well, probably nothing.
How much would you pay for a glass of iced tea? $1? $2? What if it were an iced oolong tea? $2.50?
Well, my little, highfalutin (did you know that’s one word? me neither) island’s teahouse charges $3.75. No free refills. Not a Big Gulp size, [...]
