  • 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 crowning of lucky No. 13

22 Jun 2010

Remember how I said I haven’t been to the dentist in 16 years? Well, today I went. It was a follow-up visit to last week’s preliminary new patient visit. This second visit was much more productive, expensive and saliva-filled. I got a deep cleaning, had three cavities filled and a crown put on what the [...]

Dinner Rehab #4: Show no mercy

17 Jun 2010

Delicious vegetables are in the mouth of the beholder. Tonight’s Dinner Rehab meal plan comes from Angel. (Remember Angel?) Rather than tiptoe around Joe’s irrational fear of vegetables, Angel emailed me three suggestions that would require sedating and blind folding my husband then feeding him intravenously while he lays unconscious. Heidi, It is probably a [...]

Exit Planet Dust

13 Jun 2010

I was thinking this morning about how much I love the album cover from the Chemical Brothers’ 1995 debut album Exit Planet Dust. Whenever I walk into Joe’s man cave, it stares up at me from the leaning tower of CDs he’s stockpiled over the years. I’m always grateful that it’s on the top shelf, [...]

The pug and I in Jane Martin’s “Talking With”

07 Jun 2010

We did it. And in the end, it was painless. Exhilarating even. The experience, as I told my mother-in-law, who co-directed the play, was the scariest and most exciting adventure I’ve ever embarked on — and I’ve embarked on many adventures. Plus, the proceeds from our ticket sales benefit my mother-in-law and sister-in-law’s Susan G. [...]

Funny, no one told me to break a leg before my triathlon.

05 Jun 2010

Today at 3 p.m., the pug and I make our stage debut in Talking With at Tampa’s Carrollwood Players. We’ll be performing a monologue, which means we can make the whole thing up as we go and no one will know the difference. If you’re in the area this weekend, swing by and watch us [...]

“Loves grows where my Rosemary goes.”

01 Jun 2010

May 30, 2010 | Clearwater Beach, Florida On Sunday, my beautiful sister-in-law Rosemary married her beau, Adam at the Sandpearl Resort on Clearwater Beach. I was a bridesmaid, so this little photo essay is missing many pieces. I apologize. Still, some of you asked for some behind-the-scenes shots, so here are a few. I think [...]
