    Well, I knew that the fabulous weather couldn’t last forever, but jeeezzz! Last night, it stormed like no other. This morning when I was leaving the house, it had subsided to a drizzle. I left the house sans rain jacket, thinking that I could just use the umbrella in my bag, if things worsened by…

    I hate it when I take a few days off, from writing. I feel like there is always so much to catch up on. Saturday afternoon, my mom and sister Mimi flew in to hang out with Piper. We were able to have really good visits with Piper all 3 days that they were here.…

    Even though we had a lot of fun with Reagan’s friend in town this weekend, the weather was totally crappy the entire time. When it wasn’t pouring rain, it was overcast and drizzling. It did lend itself to a lot of good football watching. Go Utes (now 4-0). I made it a point not to…

    The vacation day that I was planning to take today, didn’t exactly work out. It seems like lately with work, things have been relatively slow, until this week. Things have been going like gangbusters, again. I’m super glad about being busy, but it is kind of a bummer that it happens when I actually have…

    Over the weekend we were lambasted with the remnants of Tropical Storm Hannah. Yesterday, we got rain again, all day. If we are lucky, Hurricane Ike will hit us in time for another nasty rain filled weekend. I don’t really mind the rain, in and of itself. But the cooler temperatures that have been coming…

    I am super excited about the long weekend, for several reasons. First of all, it is looking like more lovely weather on Sunday and Monday. Tomorrow is supposed to be overcast, but that’s ok, because we are going for a really long run in the morning, so it will keep us from overheating. The next…

    Reagan and I wanted to make sure that we took full advantage of the remaining warm-weather weekends (the alliteration is for flare). We definitely got our plan off to a banging start this weekend. We took a lot of pictures too, but I haven’t even had a chance to load them up yet, plus I…

    Today is the typical kind of cliché Friday, where I every time I look outside and see how nice it is, I just want to leave work and start the weekend early. Unfortunately, I’m having a bit of a busy day. I keep thinking about how great the weather was last weekend, and how much…

    This thing just sneaked up on us this morning. It was blue skies earlier. The light show going on over the harbor is pretty impressive though. I wish I could get a shot of that.

    It was such a beautiful morning for a ride. When the weather is like this, it doesn’t even seem like work, when I’m riding. I left a pair of shoes here, the other day, so I didn’t have to pack any, on the ride in. Having the reduced weight really seemed to make a difference.…
