My blog is still here. It's been a loooong time since I wrote anything and I wondered if maybe it had vanished into the web. But here it sits, waiting for me to come along and post something of interest. A lot has happened since I last posted. Like...a LOT.
But I'll get to that some other time, because I don't have very much time at the moment. Maybe I'll start writing again.

A lot has happened since my last post when I was freezing in Chicago with Stacy. My flight was canceled because of the snow, so we got an extra day to partay. It was really cold. There was a neat used bookstore with books piled and stacked like a Jenga puzzle. I'm pretty sure I bought a Hemingway book at that store. A Moveable Feast.

I am taking a little vacation and visiting Stacy out in Oregon. Yesterday we went to the coast and saw some beautiful sites and lovely lighthouses. It looked like something out of a movie.

Yay! I felt pretty good during most of it. If I could do one thing differently I would have worn long pants instead of capris and maybe another layer of shirt. It was on the cold side, especially when the wind kicked in. But I had fun and feel a great sense of accomplishment from my day.

I was browsing my blog, looking back at old posts, etc. I noticed the "labels" to the side and saw that I have only had ONE post with the label "shoes." HOW. IS. THAT. POSSIBLE????

The weather forecast looks great. I got my bike tuned up today and I'm excited! Last night I went to the Bike Expo to pick up my registration packet. We wear a snazzy vest with our number on it so they can keep track of all of us. I heard there are 32,000 people registered to ride. That is a LOT of bikes!

It is the end of April and it's still in the 40's! It's COLD! We had a few nice days in the past couple of weeks, but over all spring is doing that thing it does every year up here...take FOREVER to arrive. You'd think in my 5th year here I would expect it...even be used to it.

I'm on the railroad going out to school for a lesson and to hear a recital. My recital is coming up. Lots of practicing to do before then.

It's bad. Sometimes I think if Trader Joe didn't make great frozen meals I may not survive. I would dwindle away to nothing. I like to cook and eat, but when I get super busy I forget to make time for it and forget to plan to either take food with me, or how, when, and where I am going to pick something up.

I shouldn't even think about it. It's cold and we are now in the midst of a blizzard. It is a blizzard named Nemo. I didn't know they named snowstorms....must be a new thing. It's kind of silly, in my opinion. They do like to make everything dramatic. I read that this is a "ferocious Nor'Easter" and "the worst storm EVER."

Two things about food:
1. I tried a new soup recipe and I think if you have any room in your soup repertoire you should try it! It's from Taste of Home - Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup. It's hearty, flavorful, and healthy! Yes!
2. Grill pans are awesome! I recently got my own and its the best. Everything seems to taste better warmed up with grill lines branded on it.
