Life lessons…

…learned the hard way. Sketchy places (most likely) will do sketchy work. [If you go to a sketchy place to get your flat tire fixed, plan on ~1-2 months later, having it go flat again....at 11:30PM...after you just got back from the airport...and you haven't eaten all day...hypothetically speaking of course.] Check the tire pressure [...]

Give a penny, take a penny.

So I’ve been pretty anti-morning recently.  Just ask my lovely husband…I think when he came into to wake me  up sweetly this morning, I simply muttered (or shouted?  I was asleep.  How am I to know the exact level of my voice?), ‘No, no, no!!”  Needless to say, it’s been a bit rough. So I’m [...]

Slowly but surely…

I was flipping through some facebook photos of a friend of a friend’s birthday celebration. There were 4 girls dressed up looking cheerful and the caption stated simply, “25th birthday dinner.” Upon seeing this, I immediately though to myself, “Wow that’s old….” . . (….wait for the realization) . . . “………..Wait a second!!…….I’m 25. [...]

I went into work this morning really cheerful after listening to NPR pranks (They were in an art gallery and the radio host “broke” a priceless artifact. You hear [...]

(My mom commented on my leap day post about the appropriateness of the entry seeing that Joe and I decided to take the big leap later on that evening! haha) Joe had mentioned earlier in the month of February that he had thought [...]

Getting older…

I started this post enumerating the various ways that I’ve been feeling old recently. Really, I can’t help but to laugh at myself at some of them. Did you know that the deciding factor for purchasing a cereal for me is the fiber content? FIBER!?! When did cool shapes and marshmallows disappear? It doesn’t really [...]
