the morning scramble.

My first solo radio show.  My radio show. I could hardly sleep last night.  It was so silly. Would lay there: eyes shut, heart open, mind running. Woke up earlier than I do for anything. He made me coffee.  Biked with me to the station. - Good luck.  You're going to do great. - Thanks. …

oh, how it clings to me.

I have a new love. Yes, yes... love, love, love... blah, blah, blah. KHOL and I have recently become intimate. Just hung out there with the fabulous, Sam Petri whilst he rocked it on his show.  [if you're in the jackson area, check out his show thursday nights from 8 - 10pm... do it.] Fun…

let’s go start a fight!

I made this logo for a local organization trying to save our White Bark Pines.  Check out TreeFight. If you're in the Jackson area, I hope to see you tomorrow night at the Center For the Arts around 7pm to learn more about how we can save these beautiful beasts. And I'm so psyched on…

chilly mornings and the teton county library.

When I visited Jackson in college with my family, I rented a bike and rode around one morning.  It was cooler than I had expected.  Hands freezing, eyes watering, fresh air, smiling like an idiot, an idiot who doesn't care, she's so happy. Rode to the library.  Thought, Wow, I love this library. You can…

nothin’ real exciting in the paper this week…

The caption reads, "An impromptu dance contest breaks out near the tram station Sunday at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Joel Vingar, Rachel Stevens, Evan Smith an Dave [Dane] Stevens get down in their ski boots."

easter twentyten.

[hope your easter was fantabulous!]

smiles are pretty.

[everything is just so so exciting.] Yesterday I awoke early and started out on my bike.  The Tetons beamed in the morning light at me whilst I yawned into a smile.  I thought, I am so lucky. The loveliness of this now.  This day.  This love.  This joy.  I am lucky. I sang this song…

how connected we are.

I don't usually just refer to another person's post.  But, I kinda want to... so I will. JH UNDERGROUND's Mobilizing Against Idling. I think it's awesome.  The one day [ever] that I leave a note on a stranger's car, my blahg friends find it... after a morning of sitting around talking about idling.  I love…

telesaurus rex.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...  b-e-a-utiful! Got to watch some of the Town Downhill.  [a downhill ski race in town... obvi.] Brought some clients [cuz i'm working].  We got to see Anna speed down the hill dressed as a dinosaur.  [a woman after my own heart.]  She was coined the "Telesaurus Rex".  Awesome.…

for so long.

Yes, yes... What you've read in all the gossip mags is true: I've bought the domain "www.wullhay.com". Professional, right? Yes, I've officially spent money on a non-profiting website... outlet... a blahg, if you will. ...and I'm psyched. It's a very symbolic [i don't think this is right but i'll roll with it] part of my…

bears, beets, battlestar galactica.

About the best weekend ever. Lounging, loving on friends, coffee, cinnamon rolls, coffee. Then my first day volunteering at KHOL [our community radio station]. Wow. I. Am. So. Excited. I got to put together a two hour show.  I got to make a two hour long mix CD... that will be on the radio!  Srrrrrsly,…

a good grapple.

[oh, p.s. i designed the current jhunderground.com banner.] Look what I found in the paper today... It reads... "Underground opts for more stylized banner* Four years since its inception, JH Underground still can't seem to figure out what its look is. Last week the free Web log changed its banner, again. Perhaps the move to…

be hope.

Hey American Friends... How's it going?  I hope you're paying attention... because there's a lot going on... Tomorrow, President Obama is giving his State of the Union Address.  I'm sure you've heard about this and I hope you intend on watching. A lot of talk about our economy.  Where are the jobs?  And then Health…

new favorite sport.

p.s. I'm still doing battle with fences.  I will avenge my ego someday... [and some good skiin' tunes to get stuck in your head.]

i want bones like iron.

I love my job... but I'll be honest... the times when I la-huve my job are becoming few and far between these days. But today, oh today, I la-huved my job... [i work with adults with mental disabilities...] Two Coins I take two clients, Ronny and Sandy, to church every Sunday morning.  They don't really…

www.PicturesOfRachelThatSheTookOfHerselfOnHerComputer.com

Yes, yes... I know.  This blahg should just be renamed to "Pictures of Rachel That She Took of Herself on Her Computer.com"  So, why wouldn't I follow suit for Christmas? Plus my family hasn't even got to see my face today... on Christmas... It was a good Christmas.  It's not even done yet!  I just…

the clouds keep rollin’ on in.

My biggest complaint about Jackson, Wyoming used to be that there wasn't a music scene that I could really get excited about. But I complain no more. Thanks to KHOL, our community radio station, I can turn on the radio and fall in love with tunes on the regular.  Last night, I found myself in…

i am done.

It was a hard year.  The hardest yet. Last fall.  Leaving Yosemite in a blur to try and soften the blows of a family emergency and my sister's divorce.  The darkness of that. Fresno.  The tears of family, the delicacy of a two year old in question in your arms.  Hard. The frustration of uncertainty.…

morning comes in paradise.

I was over in Idaho.  I watched friends race in a crazy bike race.... one where you [the cycler] rides around a track with different obstacles... some where you have to get off your bike and actually carry it... crazy.  Fun.  After party.  Also fun. Had to work the next morning.  Early. Drove over the…

…because you did.

I babysat for Beckett [three-year-old awesomeness] tonight... But this story is from a while ago... I walked into Beckett's house and his mom was rushing around trying to get out the door.  She gave me a quick rundown for the evening, but it didn't take much explanation because I had been babysitting on the regular. …
