the incident- the days that followed

September 27, 2012

If you haven’t read the first post in “the incident” series, then this post may not make much sense.  This is the continuation of a very long story. First, though, I’ll answer some questions that I got, here on the blog and elsewhere, as a result of the last post.  Some people have asked why […]

the incident- the day of

August 31, 2012

I took a lot of time deciding how I should write this post, and I deliberated about if I really even wanted to.  Both Dan and I have told the story a number of times, and although I know each time the complete story rings true, it still concerns me that the full issue is […]

the incident

August 23, 2012

When your boss comes to you and tells you he really likes how you write, you smile, chuckle, and say thank you (especially when writing is not necessarily a main part of your job.) But, when he insists that you really have a special ability to tell someone to “Fuck Off”, and that you may […]

2 years

February 9, 2012

Welp, I’ve just renewed my ownership of this domain for 2 more years.  Here’s to the last 2 years I’ve had of intermittent blogging… and the next 2 of hopefully some productive writing.  Do I even still have anyone that reads this shit?

patience and waiting

July 10, 2011

Those words strung together don’t really have a place in my life.  Typically when things don’t happen for me it’s because of my own lackadaisical approach to life- being an ambitious procrastinator means I may have big thoughts and plans at times, but pulling it all together in the long run is where things tend […]

locavore kyle?

July 9, 2011

Please forgive me for the sloppiness of this post… it hit my brain this morning like a lightning bolt and I sat down to write what I thought would be an intro… and out came the whole thing.  It’s been forever since I’ve gotten a post up on TGK, so my anxiety of allowing this […]

another lull

May 6, 2011

The lack of posts could be attributed to the new job… or the fact that I’m drivin’ and lovin’ my new car… or that I’ve caught up with the technology age and finally got an iPhone… We’ll blame all three. But we’ll also point the finger at the work blog that I’ve contributed to twice […]

stare, swirl, sniff, sip, swish/slurp, spit/swallow

(The Very Basics was supposed to be the title, but the alliteration was just too annoyingly perfect to pass over.  Plus, it’s a little more obvious as to what this post is about, no?) What do you do with the wine in your glass? Drink it, obviously. But if you’re at a winery you only […]

my new world of wine

March 21, 2011

Not a single person has asked about the new job, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway.  Afterall, I’ve dished out $80 for the new layout of this blog.  It’s only fair that I get a couple rolls in the hay for loose change like that. That doesn’t make sense?  Oh well.  Readership […]

open mouth, out comes dumb

March 9, 2011

Yesterday morning was my first wine trail meeting, at a very early (for me) 8am.  Appearing awake and alert was my goal, but my brain was struggling to cooperate. After a quick introduction to a few people my boss runs out for a second, leaving me alone.  No big deal, I thought, as a woman […]

if it comes in 3’s…

March 3, 2011

If you caught me 2 weeks ago, I’d say things have been looking up.  After a whole ‘lotta time wondering if I was wandering down the road towards Old Barmaid’dom, I landed a sweet new gig.  In the wine industry.  Locally.  It’s pretty much “right up my alley”, if all are to be believed, because […]
