  • 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 (low) key to my heart

30 Jan 2012

Me and the Mr. are featured on my gal pal, Meg’s blog: Mimi + Meg.

It’s just a little Valentine’s Day post, a gift-y guide kind of thing, designed with Meg’s super snazzy touch.

Upon reading what I wrote I was struck by how utterly unglamorous we are.

Really? Our “couple time” is spent watching Wipe Out and eating french fries? Where’s the ROMANCE? The RAPTURE? Rummy? RUMMY? Ah well. At least there’s champagne and face cards. On especially steamy nights, we use our Golden Girls deck. You heard right. The cards came with the show’s 25th anniversary DVD collection.

Anyway. Let’s forget our lameness for a second and return to Meg.

Damn girl was profiled in The Washington Post last week. How sweet is that?

Keep up the excellent work, my trendsetting friend. Your dogged ambition, excellent taste and clever design skills are paying off. You deserve the recognition.

Now. Any advice on how I can get the Lance featured in the St. Pete Times (ugh, name change) Tampa Bay Times?

It’s not like I don’t know anyone in the newspaper business.

    Oh Heidi! I love you just like you are, and honestly Wipe Out if FREAKING HILARIOUS! C & I were watching it last night and we just can’t believe that NO ONE has broken their neck or gotten a bloody nose!

    TV, fries and rummy is romance at it’s best. Simple and sweet.

    They’ve started a “Wipeout Canada”. I went to the website to read the application. I would do it in a heartbeat. It’s filmed in Africa. Not kidding.
