When we were kids my little sister pronounced the word “grumpy” as “dumpy”. One of my parents would say something like “ooh, somebody’s grumpy!” and she would muster up her dirtiest look and shoot back, “I not dumpy!”. Today, I am dumpy. However, I don’t mean “grumpy”, I’m not necessarily in a bad mood. . . . → Read More: Harrumph! Last night I was fortunate to get together with my two closest girlfriends from high school (GNO! OMG!). We were all on the dance team together and have been besties ever since. I practically had an out-of-body experience though during our conversation when I realized what we were talking about. Let’s compare and contrast, . . . → Read More: Now and then I am officially in the third week of my new job now. I am happy to report that it is going surprisingly well. I was with my old company for eight years. I loved working there (well, as much as I think I can love working somewhere…). When I started there I was single, . . . → Read More: Reflection I read once that as a blogger you should never apologize or try to explain away long absences.

He got another shot of . . . → Read More: Back to life Lately, as I’ve been getting in bed at night I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. It’s usually pretty short-lived since I’m so exhausted I can’t keep the wheels turning long, but there’s been some serious reflecting going on. There’s a lot of crap out there. Like really, a LOT of bad stuff. I . . . → Read More: Tempting fate There have been many times in my life where I wished I could just hit the pause button and freeze certain moments in time. Lately, it seems like I am feeling that more and more. My little girl has hit that precious transition between baby and little girl, and while I love the little . . . → Read More: Precious moments Here’s the thing about frugal living: you have to think about it EVERY SINGLE DAY. At least at first. It’s not easy making the change, especially when your husband suggests Del Taco because nothing else at home sounds good and we have no leftovers from previous dinners.
