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 [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes, the reminder you need is subtlety waiting at the end of the block in that boarded up storefront you’ve passed by for six years… It has not escaped my notice that I still have not written about moving in with my boyfriend; about the move itself, the changes that living together has brought (or not [...]

So, I have some news. I’m moving in with my boyfriend. In 14 days. The decision was made over a month ago and I’ve wanted to write about it ever since, but it hasn’t exactly been a happy occurrence. In fact, my days and insomnia-filled nights have been rife with doubt, anxiety, disappointment, and grasping [...]

Remember my pregnant friend- the one who’s pretty much been MIA since she got married and who had the Baby Couple’s Shower? Well, a week before I went to Alaska and found my true calling (to hug whales, of course!), there came a flurry of texts from her husband announcing she was having The Baby. I [...]

I haven’t posted in a week. I’ve been stewing over something that I’m not exactly sure how to appropriately articulate, and lo and behold it has to do with another one of my friends. There we sat, discussing a friend of a friend and the outlandish lengths she’s gone to in order to meet “someone,” [...]

Last July, my boyfriend was laid off, then hired back a week later- albeit with a demotion that has taken him seven years back in his career with a major cut in pay and removal of any bonus options. I didn’t write about it at the time or since because he specifically asked me not [...]
