Ghost Town

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

I keep catching myself thinking and saying the oddest things. Things you’re not “supposed” to own up to. Things you’re “supposed” to push down and ignore, pretend never happened, never existed. But, they persist… We used to live in that building… My ex wore a scarf just like that when we first met… I had [...]

How I Met My Soul Mate

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

Last year around this time, around this very day in fact, I made a decision that has changed my life each day since. I adopted Wendy. I’d been wanting a dog for nearly a decade, but finally decided to make my lifestyle fit dog ownership rather than wait for it to happen as if by [...]

Hark! This Single Girl Will Love Again

Friday, December 16th, 2011

I’ve been getting a lot of well-meaning, if not entirely necessary, sympathy of late. True, my personal life kind of went the way of UTTER SADNESS earlier this year, but I’m actually okay.

Friday, October 28th, 2011

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 [...]

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! With everyone’s busy schedules- especially over the summer months, there just never seems to be an opportunity to get together! So, I created one. Our own unofficial version of [...]

Five Years

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

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 [...]
