• I Just Love It

    Movie/music Monday I come to you today with another Ryan Gosling movie. What can I say? He’s one of my favorites. And actually, so is Steve Carell. Since it was Valentine’s Day on Saturday, Josh and I watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love” on Friday night. I’ve seen it a few times and it is just a…

  • Yes, It Was That Good

    “Something Good” Sunday After Josh and I ate dinner last night, it was easy for me to decide on the good thing I was going to write about today. With it being Valentine’s Day yesterday, Josh cooked us a lovely dinner. He grilled filet mignon and asparagus that had a great vinaigrette/marinade type of seasoning…

  • Crushing It

    Screenshot Saturday Saturdays are now for sharing screenshots I have taken and saved for a variety of reasons. Today it is not of a motivational quote, but it was inspirational in its own way. This is a comment someone made in reply to a post I made in my yarn swap group on Ravelry. This…

  • The Organization Nerd Awaits

    Flashback Friday I had a dream last night about a memory from my childhood that I thought would make a good Flashback Friday post today. It was completely random and it was about the time when my mom went to a city council meeting with a complaint, a tape recording, and actually made something change.…

  • 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.…

  • “What’s on your needles?”

    5Ws Wednesday This is a common question that knitters get asked. It just means, what knitting project are you working on right now? OTN is a popular abbreviation when putting into words what you’re working on. You might say, “I have a short-sleeved sweater OTN”. However, this doesn’t really work if you’re talking about a…

  • Vintage Motivation

    Talk About it Tuesday I am a chronic screenshot taker. I do a lot of scrolling on Facebook and Instagram and so I am perpetually taking a screenshot of quotes and memes and other things that I want to remember. I have quite the collection of motivational quotes. I think I’d like to start sharing…

  • Appreciation

    Movie/music Monday I watched the Super Bowl yesterday. I didn’t win anything in the Super Bowl squares game my sister organized. If the Patriots had gotten a field goal or the Seahawks got another touchdown, I would have won the pot for the final score. Oh well. The game was what it was, a game.…

  • Turtles and the Big Game

    “Something Good” Sunday I waited to post this until this evening because I knew my something good was going to be the tattoo I just got. It is by far the most fun one I have. I love turtles. They’re my favorite animal and I’m a child of the 90s, so Lisa Frank was the…

  • Still Enjoying It

    With this prompt last year I reflected on the fact that a year before I needed a break from everything…grad school, my job as the principal of a school, all of it. Last year at this time I was enjoying the break. My permanent break. I had quit all of what was stressing me out,…
