Something you should know about me: I am the worst person, ever, when it comes to following up with stuff. This is partially because I really want to devote time and thought to my responses to things... which gets me in trouble, because I don't exactly have a ton of time or thought to spare.

Don’t worry guys, there’s still hope for humanity.
The following is a true story. Not that they all aren't, but I'm just having trouble believing it myself so I felt like I should let you guys know, I'm not making this sh*t up. I was driving home from work on Thursday, listening to my audiobook of Pride and Prejudice. I had just passed… Continue reading Don’t worry guys, there’s still hope for humanity.
Please don’t tell me I look like Natalie Portman.
Here's a fun fact about me: In some really warped, alternate version of reality where the sky is purple and it rains skittles and hair-color-apparently-equals-resemblance, I've been told I look a little like Natalie Portman. This compliment does wonders for my ego. Whenever someone says it, I blink back at them like a goldfish and… Continue reading Please don’t tell me I look like Natalie Portman.
Ugh.
Okay guys, I'm gonna be honest here.I just spent 2+ hours writing a witty and wonderful post about Natalie Portman, but when I went to post it my ancient computer crashed, and I lost it all. I spent exactly 26 seconds thinking about trying to recreate the post, but then decided to just start crying… Continue reading Ugh.
On Grieving, Coping, and Very Good Dogs
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting author and TEDx speaker Greg Bell, who shared (among many other wisdoms), this fundamental truth: 99% of the world's problems can be distilled down to the failure of human relationships.On the other hand, he pointed out, dogs have this relationship thing figured out.Dogs love easily and trust easily. They give you… Continue reading On Grieving, Coping, and Very Good Dogs

Sorry for the radio silence this week, y'all. We've had visitors and are just generally crazy busy. As a token of my apology, please accept this dancing spiderman gif: I'll be back before you know it.
New Things! Exciting Stuff!
Things are happening! Things and stuff and... happenings!In case you didn't read between the lines in my recent post about jitters, I just got a new job! A writing job! And giving Susie a writing job is something like Tom Hanks becoming a professional toy-tester in the movie "Big." This was my first week, and for days I've been itching to just tap… Continue reading New Things! Exciting Stuff!
He’s Still Talking.
He's still talking.If you had told me 20 minutes ago, I would absolutely not have believed you. "No way," I would have said. "No way he will still be talking 20 minutes from now." My over-confident, 20-minutes-ago-self would have patted you condescendingly on the shoulder and told you, regretfully, that you must be mistaken.And yet… Continue reading He’s Still Talking.
Why I Should Never Be Left Home Alone
Taylor is at a super important work conference this week, which means I have the house to myself. For other, more functional human beings, this might mean a certain sense of freedom - a refuge from the standard routine and an opportunity to indulge. For non-functional human beings (READ: psychopaths; Susie), this week means obsessive,… Continue reading Why I Should Never Be Left Home Alone
