As anyone who knows me, or reads this blog consistently (hello 1.2 persons!), my life has changed dramatically from where it was when I first started this blog. For the better, of course, but still. Change. Bleh.
I’ve been trying to figure out why I don’t blog anymore. I think I’ve found it. In the beginning, [...]

Nothing like a lack of blogging to make one think. Or not think, for that matter. I have spent the last month pretending like my new job is not stressing me out. Part of me thinks that this job can’t possibly be stressful, because that would mean that I am symptomatic. Well, that’s just not [...]

I have been horrible about blogging, so far out of my past routine that it seems as if that time was in a past life. In a way, it was. Life is totally different now. My outlook, my goals, what I know, what I want and don’t want. There is a clarity to my thoughts [...]

No worries, Adriana. Your blog award is the very next post which will be typed right after I finish this one. Yours takes more creativity and I have to warm up first.
Okay, a very ridiculously long time has passed since my last post. I find it PREFER-able :) to post more frequently and know [...]

Today, Matt and I both have the day off. This in itself is fairly rare. To add to the gloriousness of it, we don’t have our day jam-packed with things to do. We are going to be people of leisure. I told him that there would be no housework, no errands to run. I managed [...]

For the final 118 minutes of today, Saturday, the 27th of December, year of our Lord 2008, I am going to not care about what anyone thinks of me. I have spent far too much time today consumed by it. I am also not going to worry about that which I cannot change, which I [...]

I’m barely able to keep my eyes open this morning, even though I was a good girl and went to bed at a decent time last night and got about 8 hours of sleep. I just have energy. I think it has a lot to do with the cyproheptadine I took last night. My old [...]

It has been over two weeks since I have last blogged. Almost three, in fact. And I really haven’t been keeping it up too well since August, even though I see it as a valuable tool. I have been choosing not to use it.
Don’t get me wrong. I get on the computer at least once [...]
Reasons Why

Within the past few months, I have experienced and expressed a coming-and-going feeling of general dissatisfaction with my life. With my job, with where I live, with what I am doing with my life. I can honestly say that within the past month, those feelings of dissatisfaction have faded, leaving me with only positive feelings about [...]

Listening to Postal Service after a good night’s sleep, listening to M breathe deeply in his sleep in the other room. It just doesn’t get any better than that. I have my Sonic latte at hand, just checked the balance on my debit card. Getting things done that need to be done, and enjoying every [...]
