My little brother doesn’t think I’ve very cool. I mean I’m fine with that. I’m 28 years old. I can take it. Almost. I can take not knowing all the cool YouTube videos. SNL sketches. Rappers. Etc. Things I can’t take? I can’t take him thinking that I’m weak. Ok, I can. But when he didn’t…
I have a love hate relationship with rain. It’s the bomb.com if you want to not feel guilty about cleaning out the Tivo in the middle of the day. It’s not the bomb.com if you are interested in being active … perhaps because you’ve been trapped in a cubicle all the damn day long. One…
You know it’s a good dinner when you plan to have leftovers … And then there are none. Win. Enter: Chicken Tagine. I’m not totally sure what made me grab for the slow cooker recipe on Sunday, especially since it was still about 70 degrees. But I did and it was awesome. How awesome? Like…
Oh Summer. There you go. You’ve just left me high and dry. It’s the first official day of Fall and I’m sitting on the couch with a warm cup of coffee. Outside, it’s this odd weather mix of fog and 72 degrees and super green Fall grass. Apparently, it’s going to pour rain for the…
I feel a little bit lost this week. Lost is a slightly dramatic word, but it applies none the less. The necklace that I’ve worn pretty much for the last 15 months or so…. broke on Monday morning. I’m not an “accessories person”. On a consistent basis, I wear one ring and my necklace. No…
Minot beach looking South over the weekend Oh hello there fall. You snuck right up on me and I’m not sure that I liked it. On the upside, I do love my fleece. The weather this past weekend was super nice for long neighborhood walks with coffee, which I most certainly took part in. There…
You know when you rush around so much that you almost miss something super pretty? Well apparently I’ve been doing that for months. I have a whole airport routine. It’s very organized and as a result, I know where everything is normally and I’m not fumbling around the house at 4 in the morning looking…
When you are living a suburban life, it’s not that challenging to find yourself tucked in bed on a Saturday night at 10pm. And by 10pm, I really mean 9pm. As a result, it is also not hard to get up early on a Sunday and walk the beach before most people have peeled themselves…
I love sending things in the mail… and I love getting them. So naturally on a vacation I love the idea of postcards, but I quite often forget to mail them. I go through all the effort (being a bit dramatic) to buy the cards, then I forget to get the stamps. Or sometimes, I…
It almost seems like a waste of time to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation in Maine over Labor Day, after all I’ve written about it twice now (here and here). But I think one of the great things about Maine was that I did things that I wouldn’t normally do and barely thought…
