  • Why Lance?

    Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose. This blog is named after my old friend Sarah's manifestation of a dreamy Wyoming cowboy named Lance.
  • About me

    I'm a journalist who spends my Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories, a chronic procrastinator who needs structure. I once quit my job to write a book and like most writers, I made up excuses why I couldn't keep at it.

    My boyfriend fiancé husband Joe (and new baby Henry) like to sleep in late on the weekends, which means I end up browsing celebrity tabloid websites while our dog snores under the covers.

    I created Lance to better spend that time. I thought maybe it would jump start a second attempt at writing a novel.

    I'm itching to get The Move On, as my dad likes to say. I'm 26 27 28 29 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

The pug loves Pantene Pro V

31 Jan 2009

It’s always fun to tell people I shower with the pug. The reactions I get are all over the board.  If it’s someone who has a dog, he/she will likely say: “How do you get him to stand in the SHOWER? Isn’t he freaked out by the WATER?” If it’s a woman who doesn’t have a [...]

Thank you for pushing my buttons.

29 Jan 2009

Of all countries, my first blog critic hails from Canada. Miffed over my blase attitude toward guardian bum angels. You may have already read Natasha’s comment after the Tree frogs, bums & wedding dress post. My face was burning when I read it. I haven’t been this scolded since a newspaper advertiser reprimanded me for [...]

A post for Ricci’s 26th birthday

26 Jan 2009

This is Ricci and Mbaye. If you’ve met them, you know they’re a pretty dynamic couple. Ricci moved to Senegal a year ago. To say she moved there “to find herself,” would totally undersell her career ambitions and gut instincts. She’s a remarkable photographer with an adventurous soul. And like all of us, she settles [...]

Tree frogs, bums & the dress I didn’t keep.

16 Jan 2009

To be honest, I’ve put more thought into purchasing a six-pack of Charmin toilet paper. … I bought my wedding dress last month for $128 at White House|Black Market, and I returned it last week not because I didn’t like it, but because I thought I could do better.  Also because toothpastes have caused greater fits of [...]

Treading dopamine, waiting for my ship to come in.

10 Jan 2009

There are eight men outside my office window sawing down a tree. The noise is sharpening all the Q-tips in my house into tiny white knives. These clowns have been cutting down trees all week. It’s like listening to 100 dentists bore 100 cavities at once. I’m half inclined to ask them if I can [...]

Ringing in the new year with ABC gum

01 Jan 2009

Happy New Year!  Resolutions are for the birds. To quit doing some thing, or to start doing another thing, there has to be a motivating factor. For example, I stopped chewing gum in 8th grade because it disgusted me. Cows chew on cud. People should know better. Plus, it’s too conveniently stuck to the bottom of things – [...]
