It’s November, friends. The days are shorter, there’s a crisp in the air and educators the world over are limping toward Thanksgiving break. Educator or not, I think we can all agree that things are quite busy right now and having a few days off in a few short weeks is going to be very nice. Today I’m starting a little four-week series for the month of November to express…
I haven’t done one of these in a LONG time. I always love reading others’ WUW posts, so I thought I’d do one myself. Today’s link is hosted by Shaeffer and Shay, two bloggers I read on the reg. Enjoy! What I’m eating… Arbonne protein shakes. All day erry day. I can’t believe how much I enjoy them. It’s my morning (and sometimes afternoon) treat. Soooo much yum. They’re vegan,…
One of many reasons why my grandmother and I bonded so much was because I am happily of a previous generation. I often joke that I was born two generations too late, and, aside from the availability of air conditioning, sometimes wish I was. If I’m being totally honest, despite being a millennial myself, really don’t like the millennial lifestyle. One common trait of millennials is that, whether we like…
Warning: I’m a self-proclaimed crazy dog lady. If you think dog people are weird, feel free to skip this post. I won’t mind one bit. I actually think a lot about how much more money I would have if I didn’t have dogs. I wouldn’t have to pay for someone to come walk them when I go to the office. I wouldn’t have to pay their vet bills or grooming…
For as weird as it sounds, I really look forward to Lent starting every year and this year is no exception. I often find myself feeling like I need a recharge, and Lent is a great time to do it. All major religions have a period of time of intentional fasting and spiritual recharge and, even if it is more en vogue to be Jewish or Muslim these days, if…
Phew! It’s been a while since I’ve posted! So, little life update, I started a new job! I’ll perhaps write more about that later, but that is the reason for my blog radio silence. I’m beautifully overwhelmed, and I am so excited about this new endeavor. I will be the first to admit that I am not as much of a fiction reader as I am a non-fiction reader. Even…
Y’all. Memorial Day weekend is THIS WEEKEND, and I am SO excited! Nothing says summer to me like a weekend at the beach, a good book, Bud Lite Lime and a rocket pop. No, I’m not kidding. Those things are delicious. I have recently read books that have been absolutely AMAZING. Every single one of these books are a 5/5 stars in my book, and so so sooooo good. I…
I lost momentum with blogging, and I’ll be the first to admit it. For the five of who you read this that I don’t know in real life, I know you have been sitting on the edge of your seat wondering where I am in life. Since Jesus rose (a little Easter reference for your Thursday…), things have been pretty much the same, except for one minor (major) thing. I…
Post-modern pop culture at it’s finest? Queer Eye on Netflix is so much more than that. This past weekend, I impulse-purchased a trip to Florida, which miraculously fell from $700 to $338 in one day. It was great because I got to spend time with my mom, who I hadn’t seen since Christmas. My parents “winter” (yes, that’s a verb) in a little slice of paradise, Marco Island. I always…
I’ll be the first to admit that I have a voracious appetite for learning. Very rarely do I listen to music in my car. More often than not, it’s either a podcast or audiobook playing. Speaking of audiobooks, does anyone have any recommendations? I just finished Sisters First and am listening to Option B, but have nothing on the docket after that! Anyway, you’ll see a little theme with the…
