New Feature: Throwback Thursday!
Okay so I know. Throwback Thursday is not, in fact, new. It has been in existence in the world of social media just long enough to become passe... so, naturally, I am just now hearing about it. In any case, because it's new to ME, I am going to be starting it as a… Continue reading New Feature: Throwback Thursday!
Why I will never, absolutely ever be an adult
I'm starting to wonder if I'm ever actually going to grow up. I always thought it would be an automatic thing - something definite and biological, like puberty. That at some point an internal alarm clock would go off and my brain would just magically know to make the switch to adulthood. And one morning I would… Continue reading Why I will never, absolutely ever be an adult
Let me in.
Let me in. The lane is ending, the window of opportunity is closing, and my car is literally moments away from hurdling off a bridge. My life is in your hands, lady. Do the right thing. Please let me in. Okay, I can admit some fault here. I'm big enough to admit that. Journey was… Continue reading Let me in.
Why Weddings are Basically the Best Thing Ever and We Should All Totally Just Get Married Every Day

You stand and wait with your luggage through… Continue reading Captain’s Log, Stardate April 26th, PDX Int’l Airport
Take the stairs.
Here's a fun fact about me: I hate riding in elevators. I know, I know: Hate is a strong word, and I try to avoid using it (see this post and this one - and, if you're just plain hard up for reading material - this one). But I'm sticking firm to my verbiage here. I… Continue reading Take the stairs.
On Snacks and Taxes
Sit down boys and girls, and I’ll tell you a tale. About taxes, adulthood, and thinking things through. Take heed of the dangers of snacking and snail mail! Kids, I spilled guacamole on my W-2. The IRS website was awfully picky On page order, staples, and what to include. So getting it perfect is terribly… Continue reading On Snacks and Taxes
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.
Brain Fluffies
Well hey there, readers! I imagine you're wondering why I've been MIA all week. (...Or, much more likely, you didn't notice my absence at all. You walked around your life all tra-la-la and didn't give a flying rat's patootie about me and my blogging lull. But I would rather believe you were frantically pacing the floor,… Continue reading Brain Fluffies
