Wannabe on the Trail: Internal Arguments

The following is a brief conversation between myself and my personal Gollum. ~6:30 a.m. Alarm blares and wakefulness intrudes.~ Gollum: *Hiss* I want to go back to bed. It’s cold. I want to snuggle into my couch under a blanket. I want more Oreo Balls. Me: *Sigh* I have to adult. I really don’t wantContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Internal Arguments”

Wannabe on the Trail: Winter Hiking

Not going to lie I’m not big on winter hiking. I respect those that go out and do it– safely. However, after scrolling various social media channels there are a lot of folks that don’t. You can do it safely. Hike in pairs or have a detailed plan outlining your stops etc. left with aContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Winter Hiking”

Snow Squall… WTF?

I just closed– the front door had a foot high drift. Also the distance to the building and just a little beyond was a as far as you could see. If you didn’t have lights on it was even trickier. We had a snowsquall on December 15– what the heck is a snowsquall you ask?ContinueContinue reading “Snow Squall… WTF?”

Flashback Friday: Smokey Mountains National Park June 2017

Starting a new thing– Flashback Fridays! I’ll take a few moments to talk about a hike, trip, or adventure. I can think about warmer days and get into a habit of posting every week. It’s a win, win! For my first Flashback Friday I’m going to talk about probably my favorite trip ever…so far… ThoseContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Smokey Mountains National Park June 2017”

Take a Hike

It’s National Take a Hike Day! Rocky Falls! I took this picture I think in 2009. And I had to work… and I’m taking a shift on the ambulance so I have to be ready to respond. So no hikes for me… Dammit. But if you have a chance, go take a hike! Well, becauseContinueContinue reading “Take a Hike”

Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing

I’ve been thinking a lot lately— inspired by a documentary. Imagine that. Anyways, I watched Fake Famous. It’s an interesting look at how we view influencing and a social experiment into how to become a mega influencer. Me, trying to be “on brand” I related the most with Chris but I don’t think I deserveContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing”

Return to Girl, Take a Hike

I really want to go hike on a beach somewhere. It’s been an insane week already. It’s also starting to get cold. I don’t like it. Well, I do but it’s a weird toxic love hate relationship with cold weather. The snow makes it so pretty. Luckily, we only had a little light dusting ofContinueContinue reading “Return to Girl, Take a Hike”

Wannabe on the Trail: Musings on Timeshares

Cute photo to engage you… also I’ve not taken any in a few days *** I haven’t got any cool photos for this post so I made memes… Only late by what two decades? So… on that last trip I took, that one to Branson, we went because of a timeshare offer. Yeah, yeah, IContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Musings on Timeshares”

Write—A—Ween

Hey folks! Fall is starting to wither a little bit here—we’re already getting calls for snow but right now it’s misty and dreary. Perfect Halloween weather—or perfect Halloween writing weather. So, I’m starting my own writing prompt for the two weeks leading up to Halloween. #writeaween

Week 38-40…

Well I’m playing catch-up again but that seems to be stemming from my lack of coherent brain cells at the moment. I’m pretty sure my little man stole all my brain cells- I’m only now starting to get them back. It only took three months…🤣 I’m trying to get all caught up on here, myContinueContinue reading “Week 38-40…”

Feeling Lazy at Week 37…

Hi all, I’ve been busy with grad school (again), “helping” Wade get the nursery done, and finishing up some stuff for work before I go on maternity leave. I haven’t gotten out an explored, nor have I done any book reviews. I’m hoping to change that soon… Nursery Photos! I’m to the point in pregnancyContinueContinue reading “Feeling Lazy at Week 37…”
