Who I Am*
Do you ever think about the things that make you distinctly you? Those little eccentricities that are so small you don’t think about them but together they make you who you are? They are easiest to notice when you compare yourself to someone else and wonder why they do those little things differently than you do. I started thinking today about some of the things that make me who I am, and here is what I could come up with: I very rarely like an entire album by an artist. Instead, I only ever take my one or two favourite songs and discard the rest. My iTunes playlists are largely…

Hodge Podge*
Today you get a random hodge podge of this and that. Be excited. I thought I’d start with a little something I found over at The Wife in Stilletto‘s blog that I really liked. She made a list of six random, unimportant, simple little things that make her happy. So, here are mine: 1. Waking up to sunshine.2. Warm towels out of the dryer.3. Peanut butter cookies.4. Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan movies.5. George Winston’s music.6. Avocado & cucumber sushi rolls. What are yours? Today I spent a long time reviewing my French grammar. I’m not even great with English grammar, so relearning French grammar has been about as fun…

Spontaneous Dancing Part II*
Okay. I KNOW I have already posted today but I just discovered a new blog (Suburban Euphoria) that I am reeeeally enjoying and Erin (the author) posted the most AMAZING thing. As you know, I love dance. Not like, love. And you know what I love even more? Spontaneous dancing, even then not-so-spontaneous kind. You know what else I love? Musicals. I own the entire Rogers & Hammerstein collection as well as a variety of other classics. (I’ll make a connection soon, I promise)When I saw the first T-Mobile dancing commercial my heart flip flopped and I wanted to be in one SO BADLY but I settled for watching the…

Shop Girl’s iShame*
I need a new blogging schedule. The Hubster is on a new work schedule which involves very early mornings, so we’ve been trying to get to bed a lot earlier than we normally do. I could technically go back to bed after he leaves, but I figure if he’s out working hard, I can be here working hard to try and find a job. I’ve been applying to every teaching position I can, even the ones that I am not technically qualified for but think I could do. It’s a bit discouraging to sit here day after day and hope that the phone will ring, but I’m trying to keep…

Bugs in my Bathroom*
I found bugs in my bathroom. Two nights ago I entered my bathroom to get ready for bed. I stood in front of the mirror like I always do, then leaned in to examine my eyebrows (I’m a night plucker) when the window sill behind me moved. Okay, well, it looked like it moved. I immediately thought, “I’M BEING INVADED BY SPIDERS!” because really, I always assume it’s spiders. Ugh. But it wasn’t… they were just bugs. Not like the really disgusting type of bugs (like spiders or centipedes) but little wee brown bugs. So small you’d almost miss them… until they move in swarms. I looked more closely (but…
