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

It became apparent to me on Monday, after a quiet dinner of sushi with the husband in celebration of my birthday, that I may be losing it. I’m not certain what “it” is, but I think it is slipping away from me. You see, I used to be so on top of things. I . . . → Read More: Have you seen my marbles? Anyone?

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!!

I have spent the last couple of hours agonizing over publishing a comment to someone’s blog that may be viewed as somewhat controversial. I still haven’t submitted it. I’m afraid of offending the blogger and receiving negative backlash. Isn’t that rather wimpy of me? I think so.

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?”.

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.
