My sisters say I don’t blog enough

And they’re totally right.  I told them to come clean my house so I would have time to actually do something else outside of work, but all I got were wrinkled noses and shaking heads on that one.  But, I’m trying to write a blog anyway.  YOU’RE WELCOME, SISTERS.

Ahem…

Uh…this thing on?

*Tap tap*

I believe this is what is called a weblog, yes?  You…type?  And it goes out to the…Internets?  It’s been so long I’m a bit rusty on how all this works.

Dear bloggy friends, I have not forgotten you.  I’ve just been blasted busy.  Yes, really.  Busy and exhausted.  I . . . → Read More: Ahem…

Writer’s block

I haz it.

The end.

Ok, fine, that is a lame excuse for a post.  But yes, I do have writer’s block, in a way.  In reality, I write stuff all the time… in my head.  But lately it never seems to flow out through my fingertips and onto my keyboard.  Why is that?  . . . → Read More: Writer’s block

Just a sidenote…

Generally speaking I don’t watch the Academy Awards, simply because doing the dishes is loads more exciting.  However, I do like to see the dresses from the red carpet so I usually check them out online the next day.  Can I just say that when I grow up I want to be Helen Mirren?

Age appropriate

(This “vintage” lunchbox for sale on Etsy.  Vintage!  Am I that old?)

The lunch I packed for work today:

1 peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread

1 caramel rice cake (in place of chips.  Stupid healthy eating.)

My most amazing quality, if you can believe it

A year or two ago the husband and I went to dinner at a friend’s house.  We had a lovely time, and after returning home we chatted while changing into our comfy clothes (my favorite part of the day!).

“Do you know what I love most about you?”, the husband said earnestly.

The good kind of obsession

Life is still hectic and uncertain, but I have felt much happier this week and more at peace.  Like everyone else, one of my New Year Resolutions was to be more acquainted with these guys:

And these guys:

In hopes of rediscovering these:

Imagine tiny, melancholy violins playing in the background as you read this post

Have you missed me?  I haven’t blogged for a whole week.  Trust me, I thought about this blog and writing and all that jazz, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write anything.  Why?  Well, any post I’d currently write would just sound like one big long whhhiiiiinnneeee.

For instance, as I mentioned before . . . → Read More: Imagine tiny, melancholy violins playing in the background as you read this post

Mama said there would be days like this

Last night I gleefully thought to myself, “tomorrow is Friday and the week hasn’t even felt long!  Wheee!!” and life looked rather rosy.

This morning my alarm went off at 6:00 like it always does, and as I inexplicably seem to do lately I hit the snooze button 5 times and finally dragged my . . . → Read More: Mama said there would be days like this

A merry little Christmas

How was everyone’s Christmas?  Good, yes?  Ours was nice.

As usual, we pretty much ate our way through the holiday (new year resolutions, here I come!) and enjoyed time with the fam.  We visited, we cooked, became enraged over cooking disasters (me), we talked, we opened presents, the car died on Christmas Eve and . . . → Read More: A merry little Christmas
