    First Email*

    I’m blogging tonight to tell you that I will not be blogging tonight. Sort of. I’m tired. We had the craziest day. On a Sunday. Somehow I think that’s not supposed to happen, but amidst the craziness miracles were worked today! Anyway. I just had one thing on my mind that made me chuckle. As I was sending out a billion emails this afternoon, I realized how much my personal email addresses have changed. My personal email now is just my first and last name at gmail.com. Boring. Remember way back when when it was cool to have big long crazy email addresses? Ones where you used your nicknames, or…

    Our Quirky House*

    Hi lovelies, Thanks for all your kind words regarding my post last night. It’s something I’ve been carrying on my chest for a while and it just felt good to vent and be completely honest about the way I’ve been feeling. In general I think I feel a bit at odds with who I am right now. I’m turning 26 in less than a month, and it just feels… weird. Like I’m not actually old enough to be turning 26. Anyway. A little while ago I mentioned that the Hubster and I live in a “quirky” house, and several of you have wondered what that referred to. Here’s a little…

I honestly don’t know how people do it–find a balance between work and home, self and family, responsibility and recreation. In the past few weeks work has picked up. A lot. With the exception of two sick days and one day without a call, I’ve worked every day since the March Break. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled about this. We need the money more than ever, and I’m finally in a really good place with my job. I would say that ninety-five percent of the calls I get are requests to…

    Thrifty Thursdays: The Shoe Count*

    I’m baaaaaaaaack! I can’t even remember the last time I did a Thrifty Thursday post… isn’t that sad? The move was so crazy, and I feel like things are just beginning to slow down. I’m still working like crazy and there’s still a billion things to do around the house, but I feel like we’re settling into a routine again. …which means I have a few minutes here and there to do a little thrifting. :) I actually had a morning off last week and was able to sneak out to Value Village’s half price day sale. I found a cute black dress, and two fabulous pairs of sandals that…

    Things I am thinking…

    …I’m so behind on all my shows. Which show do I need to catch up on first? ….catching your finger between a piano and a door is not fun. …neither is typing with a swollen, bruised finger. …I know some pretty amazing people. …I’m kind of in love with my summer of dresses project. I’m SO excited to introduce to the upcoming features!! …it’s pouring rain outside. I love the way it sounds. …it’s only Wednesday. How is this possible? …I still have toys all over my living room. I wish my niece was still here to play with them. …I’m tired. …still need to start running. How do people…
