Reasons I Might Be a Little Bit Grumpy...

  • I have to go to work tomorrow.
  • I haven't stopped sweating since 8:00 this morning.
  • I have a cold.  In 90 degree heat.  Stuffed up and hot = not fun.
  • No matter what I do, I can't defeat the ant population in my house.
  • I miss my family.
  • I miss my friends.
  • I miss Middleton Middle School and all who work there.
  • I'm wearing pants and debating whether to put on a long sleeved t-shirt because I have twenty mosquito bites on my body.  Make that twenty-one.
  • I desperately need a real cup of coffee.
  • I can't stop sneezing.
  • It is too hot here!
Thank you for letting me have my little pity-party.  I feel better all ready.

We're Moving...

To celebrate the big transition to Vietnam, we at the Richert Ranch have decided to relocate webwise as well. It seems time for fresh starts all around. We hope you join us .

(Seriously?  Speedos?  Why are people letting their friends leave the house in those?)   Yes, the ocean is beautiful.  And big.  And just a little frightening with all those crashing waves that pull you under water and provide that "I've just been tossed into a washing machine during the speed cycle" feeling. Besides that, I tend to burn.  And then freckle.  Not good. I can't help it...I wasn't born to be enchanted by the swaying palm trees and shimmering sunsets.  I mean, I'm from Idaho .  Give me the mountains anyday. And this is why Dave and I headed to Vilcabamba, Ecuador for Semana Santa, instead of following the rest of Ecuador to the coast.  T...

What in the....?

I know...it has been months (months!! How did that happen?!). I can tell you how it happened... * swine flu paranoia in Ecuador * whirlwind tours of the USA from D.C. to California * a swimming sensation that is six years old, and the Transformer's expert * a beautiful 11 month old that fell in love with her uncle * bbq's galore * weekends away with the greatest of friends * new bikes (Oh, Isis...I miss you already) * let's be honest....Target, Costco, and the Patagonia outlet contributed to the silence * 14 hour road trips * napkin making * concerts that had to be attended (I really do love you Josh Ritter. Really) * books to purchase and read * and, of course, all that repacking * which only leads to all that unpacking It's been a busy two and half months kids.
