State of the State of Thirty Something-dom

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Thirty….as in 30!…did not shape up to be my parent’s “30.” Unsurprisingly, so far neither has 31. Not that I’m complaining. Because I’m not. I mean, just check out the majestic 30 Something life I lead… The other day, someone asked me what I did over the weekend. After thinking long and hard (TWSS), I [...]

Post @20SB Summit Blues?

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I’ve been feeling a bit blue the last few days. I’ve been quiet, solitary, keeping a low profile, hiding out on the couch in my pajama pants…when I’m not working or sleeping that is. It has been A WEEK. And, I only just now realized why I’ve been so down. I had a great time at [...]

When Bloggers Meet & Tweet

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Last weekend, I threw together a little meet up for some local bloggers, many of whom I’ve been reading for years and had yet to meet in person!

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

When you think you may be losing a friend- a good friend…your very best friend- there isn’t much help for it. You cry and make ugly faces. You get angry and make even more ugly faces. You drink. You go into the day with the best intentions. You get your hopes up. You commiserate with [...]

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

I’m irked. Irked, I tell you. IRKED. Why? Well. I am irked because TOO MANY HATERS seem apt to treat dogs like sub-humans. Yes, I said “sub-humans.” I say this, despite dogs obviously not being human, because animals should in general be treated with respect (and this is said by someone who was recently bitten [...]

Shorely Funny

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

After a post like yesterday’s, the only thing to do is find something exponentially more cheerful. Something that makes me laugh Every. Single. Time. Something just flat out funny. Namely, the hilarity that is this video clip. I just replayed it eight times in a row and have actual tears in my eyes right now [...]

Girlfriend, Roommate, Boarder, or Squatter?

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]
