5 Delights Since We Last Chatted
Ermigersh you guys, I’m sorry. Well, I’m not actually sorry. I got sick for 17ish days and didn’t feel like looking at a computer, let alone forming thoughts and typing them out. My flu symptoms were over the day of the T-Swift concert, so I went, but then had a terrible cough and sore throat…

(Brief) Rocky Mountain Reflections
I had every intention of using my trip to Colorado as a clean slate. I assured myself that without the daily obligations of work, commuting, errands, and Netflix, I would have 10 days of extreme productivity in the fields in which I am actually interested. Dreams of breathtaking scenery captured on camera, numerous blog posts,…

This Little Poem Went to the Market
So it’s the first day of June, which, in my mind, means it is also the first day of summer. On memorial day weekend a year ago I knew my attitude had to change. I’d already had one miserable summer stuck in the middle of nowhere and I was determined not to have another. Even…

Throwback #3: Insomnia and Lord of the Rings
I’m one of those pesky millennials who tends to do things based on what feels right in the moment without giving much thought to the consequences. Which is why, when I came home from my night shift at Library #1, I stuffed my face with leftover birthday cake and washed it down with the rest…

Throwback Post #1
What’s that you say? “You’ve been blogging for a total of one day. You simply are not allowed a throwback post!” Oh wait, you can’t say anything if you don’t even exist. That’s the beauty of having zero readers except for your mother and that one friend who feels like she has to be supportive…

Assumed Lost
If you are anything like me (and unless you graduated college a 21 year old virgin, still make your parents schedule all of your medical appointments, and are a vegetarian who hates vegetables, I don’t assume you are) then you are slumming it in your yoga pants with the tiny hole in the crotch wondering…
