Spring is in the air in Phoenix. The entire city smells of orange blossoms. Walking downtown at lunch, you are likely to see a gaggle of Spring break high schoolers in bright tank tops and coordinating flip flops stumble past a gaggle of office workers, mumbling under...

I didn’t get much cycling in this weekend, or swimming for that matter. I did, however, spend an hour or two at my favorite brewery, wash dishes at a soup kitchen, have lunch with girlfriends, enjoy 100 pages in a new novel I’m reading, and enjoy an ice...

Everything doesn’t always come up tulips around here. I intended to bake to my heart’s content yesterday — trying two new recipes. The bagel shop boys are now placing orders and wanted something lemon. I also wanted to try hot cross buns, a lenten...

Okay LOST fans, tell me the Iraqi woman’s performance in this week’s episode wasn’t some of the best television you’ve ever watched? Plus, isn’t she gorgeous? That skin! LOST, even without a single moment of Jack, you are still my...

Finny’s nickname for me — Donk — is a shortened version of Donkey. In 8th grade, my last name was misprinted as “Donky” in the school year book. {The idiots couldn’t even spell donkey right.} If I had been a bit more spunky, I would...

Dear Finny, I was thinking we’d rock the Amy Butler clutch for the March assignment. What do you think? With or without the cute flower pin, I like this bag. Plus, it will totally work when I am on my way to work, but don’t want to haul my Timbukt2 bag...

Dear Fin, Man, what were we thinking when we decided to organize this monthly In Stitches sewing project? I suppose I was thinking no month should have just 28 days, that’s what. I make procrastination look good, and in February’s 30th day (or March 2), I...

Ultimate started again last night and my team is chocolate brown. Our T-shirts this season read “ultimate” across the chest and they are actually quite fashionable. I’m planning on pink accessories and a new purse to match, but that is another story....

Okay LOST fans, tell me last night’s episode wasn’t the best ever? BEST EVER! Loved it. I love Sawyer as the playful, fun guy. I love the English lessons he taught Jin. I love Hurley. And what Cheech said is so true: you totally make your own luck. What...
