Remember that time when I actually wrote blog entries on a moderately regular basis? Yeah me too. I don’t even want to think about how low my Klout score probably is right now! I guess I’ve just been going through one of those periods where my real life has been trumping my internet life. It … Continue reading »

Top Six Lessons I Learned in 2012
Man it feels like years since I have posted a new post, right? All joking aside I just checked and the last time I posted anything was seriously in 2012. My bad. So what all has been going on in the life of Paula since we last spoke? A lot. I don’t really want to … Continue reading »
Earning my title
After a bouldering session at my climbing gym last week, I glanced down at my climbing shoes and noticed that they seemed to be getting a little worn, which seemed strange to me. I made a mental note, and the next night when I was bouldering I asked Jay, one of the employees at the … Continue reading »

Tuesdays (and Wednesdays) with Gina
If we’re friends in real life, you probably are well aware of how hard I am to get a hold of during the week. I’m sorry! Twitter is seriously the best way to reach me.

If you told me a year ago that I would be playing softball, trying out skateboarding and playing in an ultimate frisbee league I would have said you were crazy.
