Thoughts & Things
I gathered the paper work and removed the key from my ring. I knew this day would come, and was prepared both logistically and emotionally. A mere week after posting Clarence’s adorable picture on Craigslist, I had found a buyer.
A little over a year ago, I purchased this teardrop trailer (affectionately named Clarence) in … Read more

If you recall, I almost hit a bear in North Cascades.
In Wisconsin, I wasn’t as lucky with my wildlife avoidance.
There I was, cruising down the highway, looking forward to crawling into my camper for a good night’s sleep. According to my GPS, I was 5 minutes from my stopping point. I was alert, … Read more

Yep, that’s my MyPod. I put a down payment on it today and am super stoked to almost own my new home-away-from-home. It’s not as roomy as my current apartment, but I have adequate head space, a comfy mattress, AC, and an entertainment system. What more could a girl ask for? This lil’ bad boy … Read more
