That is, for Charles. Today is Charles’ first Thanksgiving, and I have exactly ten minutes to write this blog. I don’t do well on a time crunch, so you should not expect an Abe Lincoln Gettysburg Address. To set the expectations accordingly, you can look forward to a series of photos of Charles being cute, … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving
Back in the day–when I walked uphill two miles both ways and wrote blogs on a regular basis–I felt less pressure to say something profound when I started a blog post, such as: “Hi, Readers. It realize it’s been 99 days since I last posted a blog, but I’ve been waiting until this very moment … Continue reading The Great Thanksgiving
(wait for it…) Yes, wait. The saying is true. Good things are happening and I think it’s time for my blog to get a facelift. I’m sensing a change—not just my address or current country (although that will be changing soon enough), but in the energy of the universe. This will be the summer of … Continue reading Good Things Come To Those Who….
I was at work last Tuesday when I received a text notification from my friend that was simply a link. No description, preface, or explanation. I neglected to check it until I had finished my Excel sheet. When I opened my phone, I saw the article she’d sent met was this: “Dream Job Alert: The New … Continue reading Dream Job: Travel Writer to Explore 52 Destinations in 2018
I have an annoying tendency to tell people to read my blog, and it’s not always a good idea. The most regrettable population I target are guys with whom I go on dates. Typically, I don’t come at them with “Read my blog or there will be no second date,” but I adamantly talk about … Continue reading To Share or Not To Share: The Blogger’s Dilemma
Call me Joan Rivers, but it’s time for my blog to get a facelift*. *A bad analogy, perhaps, since I don’t want my blog to resemble a duck in any way. Hopefully, this is the kind of facelift that’s seen as an improvement on one’s appearance rather than one that makes people shriek, “Ohmyygawwwd … Continue reading Time For a Facelift
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 … Continue reading Rebirth and Stuff
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, … Continue reading “Tangents are great” said the justification blogger
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 … Continue reading A Serious Question For Bloggers (on Being a Hot Mess)
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 … Continue reading A Wee Bit Employed
