You're My Only Hope.

Alright, ladies. I’m begging you: HELP ME. Please. Let me explain: Despite my affinity for Project Runway (new season! tonight! recording it on parents’ DVR!) and all things Stacy and Clinton, (What Not to Wear, for those of you not as familiar with the wonderful world of TLC.) I find myself pretty lost when itRead the whole post >>

My Blog Is Being Taken Over By Babies & Junk Food.

You know summer is going well when you don’t have much time to sit at the computer and write. So I guess I should count this as a blessing, because isn’t that what summer’s all about? Eating ice cream, being outside as much as possible, making iced tea every chance you get, sleeping with theRead the whole post >>

Stuff. And Lots of It.

So, I was addicted to the internet. HARDCORE. Between Twitter, Facebook, and the wonderful world of blogging – let’s just say, my laptop was my friend. Cue moving, the 4th of July, two weeks of “vacation,” and DAYS (days!) without internet. It was weird – I got so much done. Without TV or internet, IRead the whole post >>

Arrived Safely. Just In Time to Be Patriotic.

After a wonderful day of driving a UHaul through pouring rain, my family met us in Cleveland to help us unpack. Family’s great, aren’t they? (Sadly, we don’t have Internet at our new house. (I KNOW! Totally going to see how we can get that fixed.) But in the meantime, I’m at my parent’s houseRead the whole post >>

Hi! Can't Talk! Bye!

After the awesome big, bad, blog swap experience, I’ve been away from my computer lots more than usual. Why, you ask? Maybe you haven’t heard? We’re moving to CLEVELAND. TOMORROW. (!) And we’re packing – which actually translates as me being anxious: “We need more boxes! Mike, we’re never going to finish all this inRead the whole post >>

The Big, Bad, Blog Swap: The Hidden Advantage to Studying Electrical Engineering

This post written by guest blogger Confused as a part of the 20SB blog swap. Enjoy!(I’m over at her place if you want to find out why I’m resisting rehab…)______________Growing up, I was shy.

Trouples Rock. Irony Doesn't.

I’m starting to think Mike and I are going to have to advertise on Craigslist for a male to be a part of our trouple when we move to Cleveland. We seem to always have a good time with our friend, Tim. And in Denver we hung out with Joe, another troupler. It’s grand whenRead the whole post >>

Today is the last day of my job. The last day working with these kids I’ve been with for two years, coworkers I’ve forged friendships with, and the place that’s strengthened and transformed me.

On Drive Thrus

Let’s talk about drive-thrus and idling. (Oh, ugh. I cannot handle spelling through that way. It’s like Krazy Ice Kreem or something. WRONG. Just WROOONG!) Seriously, I think it’s time we sit down and talk about this innocent habit of ours. It seems simple enough – you want a doubleshot on ice at Starbucks. (Yum.Read the whole post >>

The Ideal Me

Ideally, I’d… Floss daily. Never skip a run for Friends and chocolate chip cookies. Be patient with rude drivers. Be consistent in my working out and healthy eating. Start packing for my move in, oh, EIGHT DAYS. Clean up as I go, instead of living in a filth hole for a week before I throwRead the whole post >>
