Double Feature

March 13, 2019 No Comments

Tonight, Reid asked if I wanted to watch This is Us, which of course I did because it’s our favorite “on live TV now” show to watch together, and then we realized not only did we have last Tuesday’s show to watch, but it was also on tonight and recording on his parents’ DVR. So, I asked if he wanted to have a double feature, to which he said maybe, because it’s been a long time since he played Rocket League (Xbox), and we only ended up watching the one episode from last week, but, in that episode, they actually said the phrase “double feature” (talking about two graduations).…

Purpose in Prose

March 5, 2019 No Comments

I have been rather obsessed with finding “my purpose” or “my calling” in life for the better part of the last couple of years.

Funnily enough, one of the instances that kept recurring and ended up playing a part in my decision to start therapy for anxiety was my self-induced constant stress over needing to find my place in this world.…

On Wednesdays, we dye our hair pink… Duh.

February 28, 2019 2 Comments

Ahem. It is now 10:34 pm on the Wednesday immediately after I promised myself and the world wide web that I would post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and quite frankly, I’ll be damned if I let myself break another freakin’ promise so soon. So, this may be a thrown-together and haphazard post, but it will be published before Wednesday is over, by golly!…

Crossing into Canada and A Change in Mindset

September 20, 2018 No Comments

So, this whole RV adventure has actually been a real struggle for me, and in the words of Rachel Green, “as it turns out, I don’t think I’m handling it all that well.”

First off, what better way to begin a blog about how I want to become less pathetic at adulting than to immediately start off with the truly most pathetic lack of posting for weeks?…

My Morning and Evening Routines

August 18, 2018 5 Comments

Reid and I have been feeling like the number one thing holding us back from achieving our goals has been not waking up early enough and with enough structure to get our days started on the right foot and with the best productive mindset. We hit snooze to no avail, and reap no benefits from the extra poor sleep!…

You could just call me a Tumbleweed, blowin’ in the wind…

August 13, 2018 No Comments

I have wanted to have a blog since probably high school. Ever since I first learned what blogging was, I thought, “Hey, that could be something I would enjoy!” I’ve always loved writing, from the free-writing time we used to get a block of in elementary school, to typing out the longest novel of a text you’d ever want to read, to trying to add some engaging voice to work emails.…

“Good ‘Nuff” & Why I’m emPATHETIC

August 13, 2018 6 Comments

Real talk y’all – I have spent much too much of my life feeling “not good enough”.

In elementary school, I wasn’t coordinated enough to enjoy P.E. (and was always picked last in any schoolyard-style draft), and wasn’t outgoing enough after my best friend went away. I didn’t stick up for myself enough.

In high school, it was that I wasn’t popular enough, or good enough at doing my makeup, or fashionable enough.…
