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. When I find my thoughts turning to him and to what happened, I find myself confounded more than anything else. I don’t [...]

4K of Gratitude for PAWS Chicago

Monday, September 12th, 2011

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Nothing- Neither the Sublime, Nor the Harrowing- is Permanent

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

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 [...]

Catching My Breath

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]
