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… →

Talk About it Tuesday—The Blue Sunburn

I Just Want to Look Good…
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? Running and the fun stuff adults do with other adults they find attractive are things I have said when answering this question all the times it has come up before. Aside from that, I don’t do much physical activity when I’m at home. However, when I’m at… →

5Ws Wednesday—Where are you from?
In the comments, I really need you to tell me where you’re from and why. And I’m starting my post with what usually comes at the end, because I really want you to think about this. I have such a hard time when someone asks me where I’m from. Or, “are you from here?” I’ve… →
