    A Response to J.K. Rowling’s Essay

    I’m obsessed with Harry Potter. Literally. I sleep in Harry Potter pajamas. I have a full set of Harry Potter Gryffindor robes, complete with replica wand. I have a Harry Potter lap desk in which I keep my Harry Potter quill to write cards with a real ink well, just like Harry Potter. My partner…

  • Yodeling in Quarantine

    What a fucking time to be alive. Global pandemic the like that hasn’t been seen for a century. Currently in the USA, we have over 300k confirmed cases, 3x that of a week ago, Brian and I have been in self isolation for 25 days (even though I say 24 in the video. Losing count!),…

  • Fifty & Fabulous!

    Today I turn 50 years old, and I’m super happy to say goodbye to my forties. Worst decade of my life, as you all well know if you follow my life. The last two years have been pretty great, though, maybe even last three. My life these days is so full of love and friendship,…

  • Potions Party Website

    So…. two months ago I posted a blog on Advanced Potions, promising a continuation of the party soon. Obviously, I never got around to writing that continuation post, but there are so many cool things to show you! Thankfully, Brian has made an entire website showing off what we did for this awesome party, from…

  • My Best Life

    Yesterday my supervisor at work said “you really know how to live your best life.” This quote has stuck with me ever since, and it has been repeating in my mind while snowshoeing today on Mt. Hood. (I’m typing this in a snow-covered forest while standing in my snowshoes, because if I don’t write it…

  • Welcome to Advanced Potions

    Last month, Brian and I threw a Halloween/Birthday Party themed like a Harry Potter Potions Class, and it was epic! Brian, being the genius he is, took the inspiration found at The Cauldron, an AirBnB Experience/Pop Up I went to in London this summer, and ran with it. He made potion cabinets, mixing stations, and…

  • Longing for Home

    Since I haven’t had a home of my own for three years, I have adapted to this nomadic lifestyle. Whether it’s in a hotel room, AirBnB, or one of my host’s homes, I can “feel at home” rather quickly. It’s been essential, really. Otherwise, I would always feel out of sorts, like I didn’t belong…
