Watching the Salmon Run in Lake Tahoe

Even though Lake Tahoe is only three and a half hours away from my California home, I hadn't been there in over ten years. So, when Peter and I were offered a free cabin for a couple of days there was no way I was turning down this getaway. Free [...]

I’ve Been to Yoga Hell. It Was Really Hot.

I am not typically a big sweater. Even after a one-hour, high speed spin class or 45 minutes of Zumba, I won't shed a drip. So, I questioned, what would happen to my sweat glands in a Bikram (Hot) yoga class? Is it be possible to remain dry in a 105 degree room with [...]

Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas Doesn’t Disappoint

I have been to Las Vegas a handful of times, yet have never seen a show of any kind. Nope. Not even a freebie cabaret singer or anything that remotely resembled the Thunder from Down Under. So unfortunate. This time I wasn't leaving Sin City until I saw a show. [...]

I Won in Las Vegas! At the House of Blues.

I am one of those pseudo gamblers; spending a couple of bucks on the five cent slots, a single $10 bet on red at the roulette table or, when I am feeling extra lucky, I will drop 20 bucks at the Black Jack table. I am the epitome of a "low" roller. [...]

Chillin’ at the Minus5 Ice Bar in Las Vegas

I am always cold. It's a fact. If you are wearing a short sleeve shirt than I am wearing a sweater and if you have a sweater on then I will definitely be sporting a jacket and scarf. I couldn't even imagine what I would have to put on in order [...]

The Girls First Mammogram. Male Readers, My Apologies.

I am about that age, what many others call the peak of midlife crisis and what I like to call the point in life where I have acquired mass amounts of, sometimes painful, learning experiences. Also the point where I was told I needed to have a mammogram. The girls and me were not so happy. [...]

A Romantic Dinner Alone at the BLD | Arizona

Eating alone doesn't really scare me...when done prior to noon. In the AM, you can always find me hiding in the corner of some coffee shop with a double cappuccino, blueberry scone and my nose embedded in my laptop. But, when it comes to an evening meal after 5, I usually plop myself at the safety of [...]

Throwing Back Brews at Lagunitas | California

I am definitely guilty of taking for granted what is in my own backyard. That's why I added 'visit a tourist attraction in my own town' to my bucket list. I turned to Mr. Google who graciously told me that the Lagunitas Brewing Company is a tourist attraction. Really? I'm a lucky girl. [...]

Making an Origami Crane is Freakin’ Hard

I have tried for several months to accomplish the bucket list goal of "Making an Origami Animal" and it deceptively appeared simple. But, as it turns out, Origami is really freakin' hard and a dictionary of paper folding terminology was going to be a necessity. How was I supposed to [...]

Foot Massage for the Barking Dogs

Massages are creepy. I know that the countless rub-down devotees are gasping at this moment. Sorry. I am just not a fan of strangers kneading my naked body, the smell of Patchouli incense or awkward silence being filled by heavy breathing. There is an intimacy involved in touching some ones [...]
