You’re not my Type
Have you ever taken the Jenkins Activity Survey? You know, the one that quizzes you on which characteristics you favor that ultimately make you a Type A or Type B personality? You should take it. I’ll wait. Pain in the butt, right? My first year out of college, I had to take a modified version [...]
Learning to embrace technical difficulties
If you’re still with me, you’ll notice I have been… absent? MIA? Checked out? I’m not sure how to classify my status. I think I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Those who struggle with emotional hiccups and keep a blog/website current? I salute you. A few days ago, a friend of mine asked [...]
The perfect storm
Yesterday was my thirty-fifth birthday. I didn’t want to post. I didn’t want to make a list of thirty-five things I’ve learned this year. I didn’t want to talk. I didn’t want to be seen. I wanted to sit at home and watch storm coverage. My birthdays have ritualistically been uneventful and downright crappy at [...]
Dry spell
So. October. That just kinda came and went. Am I right? Another month, another unintentional hiatus. If you’re feeling some kind of way by my absence, let me assure you it was neither intentional or centralized. As I type this, my camera collects dust. I may or may not have forgotten what a hash tag [...]
Bacon will end you
I need help. Not for the obvious reasons. I’m being serious. I need someone – anyone – out there to tell me, if this was you, what would you do. I’ll tell you when I need you to jump in and answer that question… So. This past Saturday. It was supposed to be a simple [...]
Miss Ross would be proud
As you know if you’ve ever perused my Wall O’ Awesome, I follow Jenny over at The Bloggess. Yesterday, she posted a story I’m just getting around to reading today, and it has compelled me to do what she has requested – come out. Although, what I’m coming out about is not news if you’ve [...]
Just short of losing my mind
The world chewed me up and swallowed me whole. How are you? So. What’s it been? Let’s see… Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, carry the one, take away a weekend… four days? Four days, not counting the weekend, since I’ve written anything. And I mean ANYTHING. Here. Side projects. Period. I could apologize, but if you’ve been [...]
Revisted
I am alive. Barely. This has been an exhausting bunch of weeks. To say our family has been stressed, out of our minds, and pushed to limits we couldn’t imagine is an understatement. We are whooped. I can’t even pinpoint one member more affected than the other. Collectively, we are spent. BFam and I celebrated [...]
I’ll never live it down
Where do I begin… It is the time of year at my job when we are being slammed with reports and projects and all types of interesting things that would threaten to keep me away from blogging. So far, it has been successful. But I have a story to tell. A story that I can [...]
Running over
At some point, we hit a lull with the amount of children populating our family. I use family in the singular sense because mine doesn’t count. It’s my family – all four of us – then that’s it. I’m an only child (which is starting to be a recurring mention in my posts – I’m [...]
