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 [...]

So, I’ve finally started telling people, which I guess means I should just say it outloud – I start my new job on Monday!
Weeeeee! On Monday morning, I report to work. Meaning, I will get dressed, and put on make up, and pack a lunch and leave the house to do an actual job that [...]

Waiting
This morning I’m waiting. I’m praying, I’m hoping. For good news. In a couple forms, actually.
But it’s true what they say, waiting IS the hardest part. Especially when you know you really want something. And as it turns out, I want full time, a job to care about, a place to show up to on [...]

Out with the old, in with the new
They fit! Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes!
I’m already on my second load of laundry and have the intense urge to stain something just so I can use the 90-minute gets every stain in the world out function.
Old:
Circa: 1984.
New: (!!!)
Yes I realize this is slightly rigged. But trust me, if your laundry room were this [...]

Adult excitement
I’m sitting here waiting for the delivery men to bring our new washer and dryer and it’s ridiculous how absolutely excited I am.
It’s funny how the things you get excited about changes as your age does. I vividly remember being this excited last year when we got a new refrigerator and stove, when we painted [...]

We’ve had good luck with LG phones so I hope this precious lady treats us right
We rounded out our Memorial Day weekend with a very special (and unplanned and unexpected) purchase.
Thursday this pretty peach will be mine ours. Minus the bottom drawer, we don’t have room for that part. (Or the extra $200.)
Our current dryer, which is part of a stackable set (that sucks), has been on its last [...]

Memories
We have a hard time hanging things on the condo walls.
The fact the walls are so oversized makes it hard to decorate. On the flip side, leaving the walls blank makes me feel like we’re under some sort of lease that’s going to charge us $20 per nail hole when we move out. We own [...]

Some things don’t change
I’ve been craving work for almost two months now. And now I’ve got it. I’m up to my ears in stories (yay!) and up to my scalp in website content to create and what did I do yesterday, I procrastinated ALL DAY LONG.
I went to the mall, shopped for Mother’s Day (with no luck), met [...]

Another post I’ll likely have to delete when we end up homeless, or something
I have sort of a sad thing to admit here: I have more money in my savings account than I’ve had in probably seven years. That’s what being unemployed will do for you, I guess.
When I lost my job, I thought the money part would be the hardest part. We were already living paycheck to [...]

Stay at home puppy mama
It’s often been stated as a joke – I want to be a stay at home puppy mama.
But two extra days in the house with no one home except me and Jack and not much to do, totally confirm the fact that I could stay home every day. For a long time I wanted the [...]
