There are some days when I sit back and think what did I do to deserve this? Sometimes I think it in a good way, and sometimes I think it in a bad way. Yesterday, I thought it in both ways. I got some news that, while not particularly devastating, was certainly not what I wanted – […]
Personal
Spider Van
I have no idea why it’s taken me this long to tell this story, but here we go! Last Thursday I mosied my way into Providence for an appointment at 2pm. Per usual, I arrived about 10 minutes early, and then proceeded to walk up and down the street in the pouring rain – you […]
Wedding Wednesday | Engagement Photos, Part 1
Our engagement photos are coming up this weekend, and all I can say is… how random. On the one hand, it feels kind of like being back in school for picture day (What will I wear? What if my hair doesn’t cooperate?!), and on the other it’s one of these wedding moments that make the […]
Desk Perfection
So this whole working from home thing is amazing… except for all the times that it isn’t. It’s not that I don’t love being my own boss and setting my own schedule (I do!), it’s just that – well – sometimes I get a little sick of being inside my apartment. And that’s the thing – […]
Lusting After | Sunglasses
You guys, I have an addiction. It isn’t drugs, or booze, or even caffeine (okay, maybe a little caffeine). It’s sunglasses. (… and purses.) I don’t know why, but I feel like sunglasses are the accessory that perfectly completes any ensemble. Ray-Ban Aviator Flash Lenses, $170.00 I mean seriously, how cute are those?! I adore the […]
Work/Life Integration
There is a distinct difference between Gen X and Gen Y, and – as far as I can see – it’s defined by our ideal work situation. Generation X, comprised of teens who grew up listening to punk rock and throwing their middle finger up at the “establishment,” has a hard and fast rule: there’s […]
Going It Alone.
If you’re a regular around these parts, you may recall that a few weeks ago I wrote a post about some changes in my life (professionally), and the opportunities that those changes brought. And now I am so, so happy to say that everything seems to be going better than I could have possibly hoped.
30 Day Challenge | No Carbs!
I have shingles. You know, that disease that is usually reserved for people who are 60 years old – yeah, that one. It’s one tiny patch just to the right of my tailbone, which is quite uncomfortable but so far nothing I can’t handle with a bit of whining. The problem here is that I […]
A Spring In My Step.
It’s spring, officially and the weather is almost there. Earlier this week it was 70 degrees outside so I moved my office (ahh, the benefits of working from home) outside to grab some Vitamin D and just enjoy it. However, a couple of days I woke up to see a thin layer of snow on my […]
In Sickness And In Health
I woke up at 3:30am yesterday to the sound of my fiance throwing up in the bathroom. Now, I confess … I am not proud of my reaction. I banished him – the love of my life, who was so sick that he decided to take a bath in the middle of the night to […]
