http://kirstenblogshere.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
A Blog of One's Own. Write Think. Repeat. Monday, January 21, 2013. Tenth of December: Stories. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. The best writers truly love people. I mean, really, why write fiction if you don't? Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? My rating: 3 of 5 stars. Fun and breezy, though not as laugh-out-loud funny as Bossypants, the funny girl memoir to which all others will inevitably be compared. View all my reviews. Saturday, January 5, 2013. How will I construct that life? 6 My mom and sister and I ...

A Blog of One's Own: Green Vibrations
http://kirstenblogshere.blogspot.com/2013/06/green-vibrations.html
A Blog of One's Own. Write Think. Repeat. Sunday, June 9, 2013. I am thinking over a phrase of Annie Dillard's this morning, encountered in her collection of meditations on writing, appropriately titled The Writing Life. But a life spent reading - that is a good life.". It is a time of golden water in the evenings, and green trees etched in gold around it. The yellow of balsamroot flowers and the sentinels of violet lupine and monk's hood. Baby elk, tremulous on newly-jointed legs; a rather fat a...A web...

Becky and Mary-Jane Swim the 50 States. Just another WordPress.com weblog. May 29, 2011. Emerald City Swim – 2010. In mid-August the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation puts on the Emerald City Swim. This is a one mile swim in Lake Washington at Seward Park. As I’d discovered during the Danskin Triathlon in 2009, the water off Seward Park has a lot of seaweed. But I digress. I finished in a respectable 33:15. Someday I’ll get that mile down to 30 minutes…. Laquo; Lake Samish – 2010. Becky and Mary...

The course before the start. This is an annual event sponsored by the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation. My mom swimming the event! Biking to the lake! This was a first for me, as I usually resist exercising before exercising. All I know is that the water felt great once I started moving. On June 27, 2010.

Swimming to Antarctica | Becky & Mary-Jane Swim the 50 States
https://beckyandmaryjaneswim.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/swimming-to-antarctica
Becky and Mary-Jane Swim the 50 States. Just another WordPress.com weblog. May 29, 2011. When I started open water swimming, Melissa told me that I absolutely had to read this book. She was right. The author, Lynne Cox. Rules, which means that she swims only in a suit, cap and goggles, no wet suit. This includes swimming in the Bering Sea and waters off Antarctica. I would recommend Swimming to Antarctica. Laquo; Park-to-Park Swim – 2010. Slam the Dam – 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are commentin...

This was my second year swimming the Lake Samish Open Water Swim. Lake Samish - 2010. The Lake Samish Swim has the best race swag that I’ve received: in 2009 participants were awarded a super-soft beach towel when they exited the water; in 2010 it was a hooded sweatshirt (warm.

A Blog of One's Own. Write Think. Repeat. Saturday, April 27, 2013. Endings and New Beginnings. This morning, I couldn't sleep, so once more, I pulled out the warm slab of my laptop, and let its screen keep me company in that early hour (early for me, anyway), as the light of a new day spread across the walls and the floors. Ten minutes ago, my wonderful sister and her wonderful boyfriend Sam brought me a mimosa and breakfast in bed (woot! I want to toast my beautiful, supportive family and my wonderful ...
