  • 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.

Growing, growing, gone.

19 Aug 2010

Oh, I tried. I really, REALLY tried to grow out my hair. I even announced it, I was so dedicated to growing it out. “I’m GROWING OUT MY HAIR. Just you see. I’ll be wearing ponytails by the end of the summer. I’ll be Rapunzel.” I’ve Lanced about this topic before, in particular my obsession [...]

A ballerina’s belly in pictures

17 Aug 2010

Last month my friend Tracey sent me this message on Facebook: “As you know I’m pregnant! And some of the dancers and I thought it would be fun to take some maternity photos of me with a tutu and pointe shoes and my belly! I was wondering if you could possibly take these for me [...]

What’s eating Gilbert Gottfried?

15 Aug 2010

Yes, this post is about Gilbert Gottfried because I couldn’t think of a better follow-up to the previous cockroach post. Joe and I were watching the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff tonight when Gilbert Gottfried came on. Gilbert Gottfried and that voice. That VOICE. I’ve always wondered what Gottfried’s REAL voice sounded like. It [...]

How to kill a cockroach in your sleep

10 Aug 2010

If aliens exist, they look like cockroaches. Trust me. I have a J.Crew catalog in my kitchen that I’ve never opened. Its only purpose has been to kill cockroaches. Never has a catalog filled with overpriced cargo pants been so functional. (Full disclosure: I love J.Crew. I get the catalog because I enjoy the company’s [...]

Dinner Rehab #5: Friday night takeout dice

06 Aug 2010

Let fate decide your din-din. I bet even prissy foodies order greasy takeout. Joe and I are usually too lazy to cook on Fridays. We’re also too lazy to get dolled up and go out to dinner. We’re SO LAZY we can’t even be bothered to CHOOSE what we want for dinner, so THIS is [...]

Newsprint ain’t dead in this office.

03 Aug 2010

Those of us in the newspaper business have got a dilemma on our hands. And no it’s not the imminent fall of print journalism. That would be too heavy a topic for this grizzled reporter. My problem lies in the leaning tower of newspapers by my desk; the fact that my livelihood takes up space [...]
