From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…

Weekend Adventures | Feel Good Friday 073115
This was my weekend last weekend: And sure, it took me and the dog a little bit to recover from what was supposed to be two nights backpacking covering just 13 miles to two nights backpacking over 20 miles (landslide got in the way), but I think we’re both grateful for the opportunity to go…

Mea Culpa, Southern California
This post has been waiting in the blog queue. I know I owe you an apology, Southern California, but I was waiting for just the right moment. Yesterday, it transpired. Remember the dude who told me “Good luck making friends”? Well. He approached me yesterday to find out how I was doing, if I was…
Only in SoCal … [sneaky compliment or insult edition]
People. Despite my sad real talk about moving, which is real, I’m also ridiculously happy here. So happy that I’m going to Compliment-or-Insult my new home … wait, let’s not lie. I’m going to insult it. There is craziness going down in Southern California, and it deserves to be called out, made fun of, and insulted.…
