Four score and seven years ago…

…this little blog came about. Or something like that. Doesn’t four score mean 40 years? ‘Cause that’s not technically right. But it sounded good… Anyway. Seven years ago – in 2009 – I started a blog. It was my third or fourth attempt at one – I had a blogspot in college, a blog onContinue reading “Four score and seven years ago…”

One Hundred and Eighty

A week from today marks three months since I quit my job and everything changed. Before June 1, 2015..I couldn’t tell you the last time I was legitimately, not-faking-it, seriously happy. I mean, y’all know. You’ve read this blog. How many times have I talked about my depression and anxiety and the toll it wasContinue reading “One Hundred and Eighty”

So fresh and so clean…ish

So cleaning month is going pretty well. So well, in fact, that it will have to continue into the next month because I still haven’t tackled that guest bedroom closet yet. But for good reason – I had company here for Derby and also May is always the most insane month of all months (everyoneContinue reading “So fresh and so clean…ish”

The land of lost sunglasses, chapstick and tiny hats?

There were a few things I knew I’d find in the process of cleaning out my bedroom closet. • Clothes I haven’t worn since I moved in last May • This tiny hat hair clip I bought for New Years 2015 and will never wear again • Every newspaper clipping of mine since the beginningContinue reading “The land of lost sunglasses, chapstick and tiny hats?”

31: The Year of Happiness (or something like that)

If you’ve read this blog…ever…you know that me and happiness go back and forth. I continuously try for it and have gotten so much closer in the past few years in so many ways. So, for a while, people kept telling me “You need to read this book, the Happiness Project.” Never one to shyContinue reading “31: The Year of Happiness (or something like that)”

Best one yet? I’m thinking yes.

Besides the first one, obviously, but I don’t remember that one. Oh, what am I talking about? Birthdays. ‘Member how I turned 30? Well. It was kind of a big deal. So.. I think I’ve been surprised maybe twice in my life. And usually it’s just been a matter of someone showing up somewhere thatContinue reading “Best one yet? I’m thinking yes.”

New Year’s Eve Mystery: The Case

Like I said in the last post, when I thought about wanting to do a Murder Mystery Party at some point, I knew who I was asking first – the Game Night group. I knew they’d take little to no convincing, as we tend to like dressing up to play games because that’s pretty muchContinue reading “New Year’s Eve Mystery: The Case”

Unconditionally

There’s this new-ish song I like. And surprise, surprise, it’s by Katy Perry. She of the mega girl crush I have. I love her. Anyways. I bought her new album not too long after it came out and there are a few on there I’ve kept on repeat, but none more than this one. It’sContinue reading “Unconditionally”
