Working for the weekend

Today is Wednesday which I am very happy about, because in two days it will be Friday, and after Friday comes a weekend which means I don’t have to work.  I live for the weekends.  Saturday means I get to stay in comfy pants most the day and get things organized and to feel . . . → Read More: Working for the weekend

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

Where I belong

I have never lived by the beach (which is a sad, sad thing) but I’ve always felt as though that is where I belonged.

And then I went here, and thought that this is surely where I belong:

Finding Christmas

Well, the good news is we finally got the Christmas tree up:

The bad news is the 2 year old just can’t resist the ornaments, hence the velvet rope.  It just makes the tree seem so off-limits, don’t you think?  *Sigh*

Ok, FINE, that’s not our tree.  I took this picture at the . . . → Read More: Finding Christmas

Happy birthday to meeeeeeee!!

Today I turn 27 years old.

I know, I know, it is so totally not old.  But really, “late 20′s”?  It doesn’t really have a nice ring to it.  Last week I was walking into the Old Navy I worked at in high school and explained to my little girl, “this is where . . . → Read More: Happy birthday to meeeeeeee!!

A post about why I haven’t posted

I’ve had so many good intentions over the last several days, and yet this here bloggy has been a bit light in the posting department.  I’m sure all of you have been wringing your hands and asking, “Why?  Oh, why hasn’t there been a new post?  Whatever shall I read?”.   Well, have no fear!  . . . → Read More: A post about why I haven’t posted

Two

Two is full of change and discovery, learning and development.

Two is riddled with stories- some shocking, some funny, some touching, some cringe-worthy.

Two is the beginning of power struggles and, “No!  I do it!”.

Two is an exhaustingly bottomless pit of energy and enthusiasm.

Two is constant, adorable chirping about anything and . . . → Read More: Two

Tradition

Every year for the past few years I have gone on a mild rant around Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I vowed that I wouldn’t this year, that I would spare people my bitter screed, but my fingers are twitchy and I just. Can’t. Help. Myself.  Aaagghh!!  I’ve tried to let it roll off my back, . . . → Read More: Tradition

A little pick-me-up

I’m feeling a bit dumpy today- maybe because it’s only Wednesday, maybe because I’m getting a cold (blerg!), maybe because I am so very tired of the freeway construction I fight every day…who knows?  But, I am determined to rise above it!  By being positive!  Join me, won’t you?
