This is the first week I have not worked overtime in about 3 months. That’s a story in itself, but not the one I want to tell today. Basically, I’ve spent more time in my office than in my home in the last 3 months, and in so doing I have made it into a … Continue reading My Office
Some days, the most difficult thing I have to do is get out of my car and walk into my apartment. Especially if it’s raining. Or if I’m carrying lots of things. Or if my dishes aren’t done. I’ve heard many people talk about using their commute home from work to decompress and do something they … Continue reading Difficult Little Things
One of the numerous things I love about my fiancé is that he can fly. And by “fly,” of course I mean he is a pilot (and flight instructor – anyone in upstate South Carolina want flight lessons? 😉 ). Speaking as someone who got her driver’s license at 23 and had never even seen an … Continue reading The Forest for the Trees
Some days you wake up and you know you need to make a change. You’ve been planning to start eating right or taking a walk every day, but laziness, busyness, or a host of other things have been preventing you from actually making it. I don’t know about you, but when I decide to make … Continue reading Too Many Carrots (and other rumbly rambly thoughts)
Let me be frank: I’ve never struggled with academics. Oh sure, every semester I’d spread all my schedules around me in a heap of misery and foreboding doom and cry for about 10 minutes. But then I’d just combine them all into one and be good to go. I graduated co-valedictorian (with Schwes) in high school … Continue reading When Life Got Too Tough
Last year was a series of adventures I don’t think I’ll ever forget. It began in Zurich, a place I love, but as a child never anticipated being significant in my life. Nor that I’d be there 4 times before I was 30. About a week later I decided to start this blog. I’d moved … Continue reading Mission: Accomplished
The second post of this year-long blogging excursion expressed amusement at how sunny South Carolina deals with snow. Here on my second to last post until I reach my year’s goal (once a week, every week, for one whole year), I am faced with another snowy day. This year, however, it occurred on a weekend, so … Continue reading 2016: An Accounting
Midnight approaches But my mind’s too blissed for thought: I am now engaged. 12/29/2016 Continue reading A New Year Haiku
One of the questions I’m most frequently asked is if Schwes and I ever played tricks on people. Well, yes. This time of year one in particular comes to mind: One Christmas when we were probably in our late teens, Schwes asked for one gift: P.S. I Love You perfume by Bath & Body Works. … Continue reading Twinscapades: Tricks of the Trade
I’ll be the first to admit, today I needed a post prompt. Life is good, there are things going on, but who wants to read another “It’s Christmastime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” post? I didn’t really feel like writing one, either. A couple weeks ago, The Daily Post’s word of the day was “abide,” and that struck my fancy. … Continue reading Abide
