  • 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.

It’s morning. I’m sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bowl of cereal, typing a story for the newspaper. I figure Joe is asleep in the bedroom. He’s not. He’s awake in bed. He calls out, “Heidi?” And I say, “Yes?” And he says, “Thank you for going out with me in the first place.” [...]

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bras

20 Nov 2010

Two summers ago my mother got a breast reduction. It was a long time coming. All my life it seemed her boobs functioned simultaneously as a source of humor and disgust. Growing up we invented songs about them. Actually, my mom invented songs about them. She’s goofy like that. She’s never taken herself too seriously. [...]

Over the meadow and through kitchens

I had what I call a dreamer’s dream Friday night. When I woke up I felt younger and lighter. I woke up with twitchy toes and messy hair. I woke up craving apple pie and hot chocolate with small marshmallows. I tried to dream it again last night. I closed my eyes and breathed as [...]
