Please excuse my absence this week. I guess being at a company for 5-plus years makes for a pretty busy final week. Speaking of finals, I decided that this last week of work feels a lot like college finals. The springlike weather (let’s not even talk about the snow we had yesterday), finishing up those […]

One of my best friends is having a baby! If that phrase sounds familiar to you, it should. I’ve been saying it on repeat now for the last two years and probably will for at least another one.

As our moving date approaches, I’m becoming increasingly aware of just how fortunate I am. I guess leaving a place after six years will do that to you. By now most everyone is privy to the big changes on our horizon and as much as I try not to think about saying goodbye just yet, the goodbyes […]

Hello. Me again. I hope you didn’t forget me due to my short hiatus in posting. Truth is I was on vacation. And while I’m pretty dedicated to this whole blogging thing, I draw the line at vacations. First of all, chances are you aren’t on vacation at the same time as me so you probably […]

I’m a list maker. It’s a blessing and a curse really. Blessing because it keeps me from forgetting things and curse because I sometimes re-write my list halfway through just because I don’t like the way it looks. http://instagram.com/p/ZRGzNpTaal/ My list making doesn’t begin and end at groceries.
