• Sleepless

    Last night, I was laying awake for a brief moment before I ultimately fell asleep. I was trying not to think about work. I have only three days left, tomorrow not being one of them. There is nothing left for me to think about except for the email I plan to send 10 minutes before…

  • A Sketchy Cucumber

    I had a whole topic planned for today. My post was going to have pictures and a screenshot and it was going to be reflective and introspective. Then I got food poisoning from a salad I made last night with a sketchy looking cucumber from our refrigerator. I guess cutting off the part that was…

  • Your Own Pacey

    Picture it…teenage Sarah’s bedroom, any Tuesday night at 8:00 from 1998-2000. High school Sarah is sitting on her bed clutching a pillow as she watches Dawson’s Creek. Her heart flutters and soars as she watches. She gasps at the end and waits impatiently through the commercials until the preview for next week’s episode comes on.…

  • He’s Finally Happy

    After my grandpa died, there were many years that I dreamed about him. In fact, I wrote about it here: Dreaming of Grandpa In the dreams that I would have, he was always smiling. Never spoke though. And in my dream, I would always either think to myself, or say out loud, “Aren’t you supposed…

  • Lots of Unspoken Curse Words Today

    Let me allow this picture to tell you you everything you need to know about the day I’m having: It is currently 12:30 pm. I’m on my lunch break at home. Usually when my break is over at 1:00, I go back to work. Not today. The yoga pants and slippers mean that I’m not…

  • Future Creative Space

    My husband and I are making some excellent progress on the back room of our house. It’s a spare bedroom that we had used as a craft room/office/library/bedroom/hobby storage space. All the things. We are now transforming it into a true creative space. We’re going to add some more Ikea bookshelves and really make it…

  • History–As Told By Cars

    Before I got my driver’s license, back in the 90s, my dream car was a Chrysler LeBaron. It had to be red and it had to be a convertible. I mean, just look at it! Is there a more perfect convertible? It even had the rims that I liked. The ones that looked like a…

  • He Took Me Seriously. Again.

    I’m a generally creative person. I knit and crochet. I’m crafty in other ways and other mediums too. But I’m also creative, I believe, in my writing and my husband just enabled me to take my creativity to a whole new level. With my desire to be a published writer one day, I have been…

  • Tis the Season

    What was the last thing you did for play or fun? As an adult with adult responsibilities, the things I do for play are not big things. And they’re not always the same things I would have considered fun when I was a kid. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a good amusement park…

  • Organization Nerd

    Today is the last work day for me until I go back on January 5th. As is the custom on the last day before a holiday, we will probably get to unofficially leave early today. I was thinking about what I’d like to do with my extra time at home this afternoon. There’s laundry to…
