Settling In*
Since we moved here I’ve felt that I didn’t quite fit in anywhere… at school, at church, sometimes even at work–until today. I don’t really know what changed or when, but tonight as I was sitting on a bus with someone I’ve recently become friends with, I realized that I’m starting to feel like I fit in here. It’s taken me a year and a half, but I don’t feel so awkward anymore. When we first moved here I had a very hard time. I was far from my family, in a city I didn’t know anything about, at a university in second year when everyone had already made friends.…

Post Secret*
I have a love/hate relationship with PostSecret. The very first time someone sent me the link I was horrified because I didn’t really understand what I was reading. For those of you unfamiliar with PostSecret, you can view it HERE. It is described as (on the site): You are invited to anonymously contribute your secrets to PostSecret. Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything – as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. So, in a nutshell, people mail in their secrets and some are posted…

Conference = Success*
I’ve had so much on my plate the past little while I doubt that I even wrote that I was involved with organizing a conference at the university this weekend. The organization I co-chair holds an annual conference, and this year my responsibility was to handle the catering of the luncheon for the conference attendees, and the dinner for all those involved. It was a good experience for me– I’ve never worked with caterers before, and I had to make sure there was enough food for 60-80 people. All in all, it went well. Apparently attendance wasn’t quite as high as last year, but there were several other functions going…

My Office*
That’s right. I have an office. At the university. I’m just way cool like that. Actually, I share an office with about 13 other member of the organization I co-chair. But it does make me feel important to sit in my little office at school. I have a 3 hour break between my classes today and because I had a meeting in between I couldn’t go home, so I’m killing the time on here. It’s days like this that make me love my laptop with my whole heart. Who wants to spend their break productively when they can surf the net and write in their blog? We ordered clothing for…

Missing My Hubs*
I left my cozy little home this morning to come and spend a couple of days with my family before the Hubster comes to spend Christmas. He can never spend more than a day or two here because he is allergic to cats and my parents have a very active one. It’s hard because I love spending time with my family and I always feel that such a quick trip is never adequate. So I usually come a couple of days in advance and he comes up later. However I always find those days in between unbearably long. It’s incredible how much I miss him when he’s not with me.…
