Okay, so maybe I’m not the most athletic of persons (I may have misspelled athletic before spell checking this post). And okay, sure, neither is my dog, Wendy. But, what better way can she and I support the local animal shelter than to participate in their 8K run/ 4K walk later this month? Yes, you [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

My new obsession is shopping for a bike. I asked for one for my birthday last month and have been scouring the city and the internets for the perfect new ride ever since. I’ve had the same bike- a pink Schwinn mountain bike that my parents got me when I was 12 or 13, for far [...]

About a week ago, I started getting a strange text message. One of those that is all “familiar” and such, but you have no idea who it’s from. Which is odd because I’ve had the same number for over 2 years now. Anyway, as odd as the text was, I ignored it and its strange [...]

A vacation day from work has been scheduled. TJ Maxx is currently being cased for appropriately obnoxious “church hats,” tiaras, and ladylike gloves. Recipes for lemon tarts, clotted cream, and scones are under review.
