It’s official

Well, I am officially out of my 30’s. Today is the start – 4-0, baby. I have mixed emotions about it. And for the life of me, I don’t really know why. Birthdays never bothered me before, but this one . . . this one seems, I don’t know, important. Like it’s time to grow [...]

Why riding is dangerous

I promised to tell the story of my riding accident last week. This is along the same lines as the sports bra post I had a while ago.
Last week I was giving riding lessons on Monday night. I had to give three lessons, starting at 3:30 and ending at about 6:30. It was cold out, [...]

So after my trip to the allergist, I was a little distracted. Maybe distracted enough not to notice the soreness and swelling in my hand. Well, very long story short, I have an infection in my finger that has now traveled up my arm and has settled in my nymph nodes. Cellulitis. So on major [...]

Allergic to life

Posted in Health, Life on October 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I just spent almost 5 hours at the allergist to try and figure out why my lips keep swelling.

Yes, I know. I am a blogging loser. I just can’t figure out where the time went . . . summer is over and even as I type I am listening to the wind rattle my windows. Fall is definitely trying to push its way through. I have thought about writing–have had more crazy things [...]
