By choice, on both of our parts, which I am proud of (whoa commas!), we work in similar fields. We have similar job duties and make similar choices throughout our days. We are both writers at heart searching for something that will make us famous, or well-known, or just known. And on some days, that’s [...]

See ya, 2009.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Lost my job, got a real Christmas tree, prepared Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner at MY house.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t remember, which is not a good sign. However, I have three [...]

Top 10 List
What. A. Year.
And since it’s the trend, here is my top 10 list. I’m not sure if mine should be labeled as favorites. Instead, here is my memorable list of 2009:
10. A Serving of Life
I never thought when I started writing about how much I like food and how much I like to eat that [...]

Oh Christmas Tree
I will spare you all the “I’ve been so busy, that’s why I never blog” excuses. But please know: Every last excuse would be true.
We hosted a very wonderfully stress free Thanksgiving at our house and it makes me never want to go home for a holiday again. Sure, we love our families but it [...]

Current status: fulfilled
More than at any other time in my life, I’m living in the right now.
I am happy with things, maybe that’s why.
My new job is excruciatingly busy. I do a lot of work every day. I was just trying to explain to Jeff just how much work I do every day and I couldn’t even [...]

Back to good
As I reflect on the past couple months of my life, it’s weird to think about how quickly things just go back to normal.
We’re drinking coffee this morning from the couch, while Jeff plays video games and I catch up on blogs from my much-too-busy week. There is no way to stay on top of [...]

Day 1
It’s funny how just one day takes me right back to where I left off all those weeks ago the night before I lost my job – a place where life was safe and secure.
I met Jeff in the driveway after work this evening with my dog’s leash in hand. We futzed to throw dinner [...]

Before I met you…
I never…
…owned a baby dog.
…rocked out at a Widespread Panic, Bob Dylan or a Waterfest show.
…danced. Like for real, not slow-style.
…ate a radish.
…played poker or cribbage.
…drank entire pots of coffee, grocery shopped for one meal at a time, drank (that much) beer that actually tasted good.
…slept with my back to the door, which is a [...]

26
Our parents got along swimmingly, which was probably the most perfect way to bring in 26. I am truly blessed to have so many that love me.
I can’t quite put into words what it meant to me to spend my birthday – a hard birthday, for some reason – surrounded by people I love. By [...]

Birthday week
I celebrated my 22nd birthday just a little more than one month after Jeff and I met.
When I got home from my night shift at the paper he handed me a huge moving size box. It was light, but filled. With Chex Mix. Every kind I could think of.
I thought it was absolutely cute that [...]
