When It Rains, It Snows
When it rains, it snows This is what comes of blogging about the spring. I write, “Spring is coming—hooray!” And the Universe responds with, “Winter storm is coming—expect snow!” In an act of rebellion, I decided to wear a skirt yesterday while the sun still shone as a way of letting the…

Rebirth and Stuff
It’s the first day of Spring, and I couldn’t be happier! Back when I was living in New Mexico, I had no idea when Spring began. It wasn’t important because the weather didn’t change, except to get windier.* *Spring is the season of Dust in Roswell. If you think I’m lying, look at this…

This is not a real post
I enjoy looking at the search terms people use on Google that lead them to my blog. It’s interesting, and it lets me know which tags are successful. My blog, however, is unusual. The most commonly searched (successful) term is “nalgene lifetime warranty,” which takes them to a blog about my quest to obtain a…

Let’s Talk About Love
On any other day of the year, I would have something very different to say about the topic of “looooove,” and it would probably be jaded and sarcastic because that’s my general attitude towards romance*. * But today is special! Forty-three years ago today, on March 7th, two people whom I looooove very…

“Tangents are great” said the justification blogger
This past weekend I decided to say goodbye to my waitressing job. Despite the anticipated feelings of liberation and joy I thought I’d experience (something akin to running naked through a field of daisies yelling, “I’m free, I’m free!”), I felt remarkably sad. In fact, I’m tempted to call them now and say, “Hey,…

Haggis for Everyone! A tribute to Scotland.
Something I learned this morning: Just as there is no greater motivator for productivity than a deadline, there is no greater push for walking speed than frigid temperatures. It was so bitterly cold this morning, I felt like my face might fall off. I’ve never walked to my office from the bus stop with…

Flashback Friday: Traveling with Virgins
The title is a bit of a misnomer*. *particularly because at the time I wrote this, I actually thought it was Friday. I was referencing Virgin Australia Airlines, which is the airline I flew while traveling from Australia to New Zealand. For some reason–likely one of quality–I drafted this blog and never published…

A Serious Question For Bloggers (on Being a Hot Mess)
I have a question for bloggers out there: How is it that those of you with day jobs find time to write? I was bad at blogging when I was unemployed, but now it seems impossible. My day job takes up my days, waitressing takes up my Saturdays (and occasional evenings), the gym…

I Tried To Go Without Washing My Hair and Failed
I was unaware that this was now a movement, but evidently not washing one’s hair with shampoo and conditioner is the new thing. And this movement has the most horrid name I could ever imagine: “No ‘Poo.” No SHAMpoo, I get it. But ugh. Much to my surprise, there’s even…

A Wee Bit Employed
I think it’s time that I mention I have a new job. I was afraid to post a blog about it because the universe likes to snatch good things out of my hands as soon as I write about them. So, rather than divulge too much, I’ll just say I work at a…
