Well well well, not a ton is happening in the life of Hurricane lifers. And that tends to be how we like it. I set out to get a one of those pesty little things called a job when we moved back out here about a month ago, and low and behold I’m still deemed employable! Which was great to know considering the “state of this economy” and my constantly crippling resume, (”you graduated when?”). In fact I have three jobs as I write, but don’t feel bad for me because yes I am writing this blog as I “work” at one of them. None of these jobs are very trying, in fact they are the sort of things I would have done as a high school summer job, or during college. Luckily everyone in Utah thinks I’m 20 because I don’t have a ring on my finger and five kids, so I basically I am still in high school as far as my employers are concerned.It’s not just me that’s been baffled by the over-educated and under-employeed syndrome. I heard a great piece last week that you can listen to here. Scroll down to the story titled “Life After Journalism.” It’s an excellent piece I think many of us can relate to. It makes me feel not so crazy about how I’ve been convinced for years that I can make more waiting tables than trying to use my degree.

Let’s just say that climbing has been the last thing on my list of things to do. Let’s also say that this approach has proven to be the best remedy for the un-psyched. As soon as I can’t climb every waking minute, well that’s right you guested it, being tied in and epicing on my latest project is all I want to do. Perfect. So until my next fix here are a few shots Jorge took from what feels like ten years ago at Moes Valley. Drama Queen! Me? No!


Sorry I just had to. This video has been getting me through the toughest times at my new desk gig. Oh, and pardon the renovations. Figuring out wordpress is like learning a new language for me…

Sometimes I can’t tell what I love more, fashion or fashion photography. I’m beginning to think I only love fashion because of how it’s photographed. All the art, and lights and beautiful people, well it’s just dizzying! Ah yet another of life’s many conundrums. Anyhow, when I’m looking to take a break from my unhealthy addition to NPR and relish in the more simple joys of the mind I find myself gazing steadily at images such as these on sites such as those… lifelounge, isit?, fashioncopious, buamai…If I could only learn how to create that to light, or walk in heels such as those!








This one is for you mom!! xxx

Hum… what can I say. We’re here again, here being the closest place we have to a home. We’ve come here for the last three winters, and that’s more I can say for any other recent location. The skies are blue, the climbing is abundant and the potential is vast. Not a bad combo, now only if there was an industry in this town besides being a mysteriously supported floating vagabond, (ie climber).Here are some pics of out newest old location… luvs.

colette colette colette True. I find myself constantly living in the past and the future. Mainly because I hate the term “living in the now.” So pretentious! Yuck! Here are some untimely shots of my past trip to Hueco. Does this mean I’m behind on all of life’s necessities? Yeah. Duh.
