Q & A
There’s this thing, formspring. It lets you ask anything you’d like, completely anonymously. So if there’s anything you ever wanted to know about me and were afraid to ask, it’s now your time to go ahead and get it out! Continue reading Q & A

So, about that thing.
If you were paying attention in December, you’ll remember that I alluded to some mysterious “thing” that I was tip-toeing around doing. First things first: I didn’t do it. “It” was applying to grad school. But not just any grad program, I was going to apply to the Masters of Science in the Social Science … Continue reading So, about that thing.
Out the Other Side
An update for those playing along at home. Reader’s Digest version: Things are much, much better. The dog’s infection has cleared up with antibiotics and some antiseptic soap treatments, so she’s much happier. She can be left without the cone and should be 100% once the course of drugs are finished. Neil got the results … Continue reading Out the Other Side
Looking Backward, Moving Forward
Recycling the post from last January, let’s see what answers 2009 provides. 1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? Run 30 minutes in one stretch. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? From the blog last year: To live more in … Continue reading Looking Backward, Moving Forward
Interviewed!
I asked the lovely Beth of Not to be Trusted with Knives to send me 5 interview questions. This one’s extra fun, since we don’t know eachother very well online or off, and Beth has (unwittingly I’m sure) brought up some questions I actually haven’t thought about the answers to in a while. And I … Continue reading Interviewed!
2008 – Year in Review
I’ve seen this meme pop up a few times, and I think I even did it myself in a past year or two, but it seems a good way to pay a final homage to 2008, before really leaping face-first into 2009. 1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Got … Continue reading 2008 – Year in Review
Fashion Conundrum
I used to be really great at finding fun, interesting, flattering outfits. Then I got busy, and sortof forgot. I still manage to leave the house looking passable most days, but I’m definitely in a rut. So much so that about 90% of my current wardrobe is basic t-shirts and pants from Banana Republic, Gap … Continue reading Fashion Conundrum
Getting more Things Done
It was about a month ago when I bought the Getting Things Done book and began trying to implement it as an overall productivity system. And I’ve gotta say – it’s working out pretty damned well. I’m certainly not any sort of crazy program evangelist, or going to start a productivity blog, but for my … Continue reading Getting more Things Done
How I spent my birthday weekend
(photo courtesy of Mel) All in all, a not-too-shabby way to ring in my 28th year. Continue reading How I spent my birthday weekend
Reunited
**Note** I’ve been working on this post for a few days, still not happy with it, but having just signed up to volunteer at BarCamp in September, figure I should probably do the social media thing and blog already. I went to my 10-year High School reunion this past weekend. It was, in a word, … Continue reading Reunited
FAIL
Remember those goals I wrote about the other week? Here’s a recap for those just joining in: -Plan more meals -Log food consumed -Add short daily workouts -Solidify bedtime routine -Clean up doghair They kindof fell apart. Any guesses why? I broke the cardinal rule of goal setting/behavior change: DO ONE THING AT A TIME. … Continue reading FAIL
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Now that I’m back in town, and for the first time in quite a long while don’t actually have another plane ticket booked to anywhere for the foreseeable future (also known as “October” ’round these parts) I’m really trying to buckle down and work on a few areas of my personal life that I’ve been … Continue reading Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
The Question
A funny thing happened on the way to our honeymoon. I changed my facebook status from “engaged” to “married,” refreshed the page, and saw that all the wedding product ads had magically switched themselves to baby product ads. It’s not quite true that the first question out of everyone’s mouth is “When are you starting … Continue reading The Question
I don’t make friends easily
Post title yanked from the title of a monologue by Dr. Erica Hahn in a recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy that was on my TiVo. Sweet TiVo. My constant (and it feels like only) companion at the moment. It’s true though. I really feel like I don’t make friends particularly easily, which really sucks when … Continue reading I don’t make friends easily
Drop it like it’s Hot
Almost every morning when I get on the bus, I have the same set of thoughts about my fellow commuters: How do They Do It? And by “It” I mean, how do they keep it all together, get everything done, manage to blow-dry their hair in the mornings (one of my own shortcomings these days). … Continue reading Drop it like it’s Hot
