Today we're off to the woods! A friend's cabin in the mountains will hopefully bring the calm we long for. Alas, there will be homework for me to do. C'est la vie. This will be the second time we've journied to the cabin. I'm excited! Hopefully we'll wade in the…
The sanctuary of heritage
Some things are just too big to really think about. Feeling a tad overwhelmed this afternoon, I called my pal Cindy to find out whether I was alone in my staggering under the weight of life. If she weren't such a nice person, such a good friend, I think she…
Bananas and Basketball
Today I almost doubled my sales goal at Banana Republic. Yup, that's right. I am a sellin' machine! My bubbly personality did the trick. "Hello! Welcome! My name is Audrey, and if there is anything... and I do mean anything, that you need help with, please do not hesitate to…
Freckles
We all have those mornings when we look in the mirror and cringe ever-so-slightly. Eh. It's part of growing up. The pre-teen years are the worst. "Oh my Gawd! Would you look at that ZIT!" we used to scream as we clamored up onto the bathroom counter, pressing our faces…

"Enter, Marmee!"
She fed me, clothed me, tickled me, comforted me, and strategically covered my baby-nakedness with wash-cloths in pictures. My mother, ladies and gentlemen. Leslie Ellen Pancoast. It may be cliche to offer up my blog entry to my mom on this date, but who cares? And who, really, can stop…
Defining Fun
Do Jon and I fight? Argue? Bicker? Pester each other? Certainly. But truth be told, it doesn't happen that often. Most of the time we can sidestep potential problems by finding the humor in the given situation, laughing at ourselves. Honestly, all Jon has to do is hug me in…
Happy Birthday, Disneyland!
05-05-05 Disneyland is 50 years old! And, oh, how I wish Jon and I could be down there right now. No two people in the world love being in the "happiest place on earth" more than we do. But, instead of yearning for what simply cannot be, I think I'll…
