Time for a re-invention

“Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves.”-Henry David Thoreau
I haven’t written here in more than a week and while there’s not one specific reason why, several factors have contributed to my lack of postings. The first is that I’ve just been [...]

You’re so vain

I’ve been dreading today since October. And no, it’s not because I think April Fool’s Day is more than slightly silly. It’s because today I had to go to the dermatologist. My doctor is a lovely woman–kind, soft spoken, knowledgeable–but her habit of cutting things off of my body leaves me less than desirous of [...]

Let the games begin

The weekend turned out to be busier than expected, but I still managed to do some relaxing. Mostly, it just felt really short, but knowing that I’ve got a vacation on the horizon definitely helps. I came home from work on Friday to a beautiful bunch of Valentine’s flowers that I was able to enjoy [...]

A life to love

“He loved life and he had a life to love.”–My dad at my grandpa’s celebration of life service
So far, the month of February has been an absolute whirlwind. I can’t believe it was a mere one week ago that we were laughing it up at the ice fishing derby. Since then, a lot has happened, [...]

A serendipitous evening

This week is starting to look a little brighter, partly because it’s Friday and partly because I had a serendipitous night out yesterday. I met up with Carly for an early dinner at Match so we could take advantage of their ladies’ night special of $5 entrees. (The only catch is that you have to [...]

Losing a loved one

I had a nice post planned today about how much fun I had over the weekend with Mike and my family up in New Hampshire at the annual ice fishing derby. And it was really fun–despite the frigid temperatures, Mike and I managed to stay out on the ice for hours and really enjoyed ourselves. [...]

Three great albums for the new year

I’ve recently come into a whole pile of new music (well, new to me), which is rare because I have a tendency to listen to the same thing so many times that it drives everyone around me nuts and often causes me to start disliking it. Yeah, it’s a sickness. But as I recover from [...]

Summer of love*

Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing my two former roommates, Carly and Meg, for dinner at my place. Carly brought a delicious salad, Meg contributed phenomenal desserts and I made some delectable Dave’s Fresh Pasta. We hadn’t seen Carly since before her wedding and it was awesome to catch up and see photos [...]

Trash or treasure?

My move is fast approaching and I’m in the throes of packing, purging and pondering. Pondering, you ask? Yes, I’ve been pondering how to get rid of some of the crap that I’ve accumulated over the years and have no use or desire for. And then pondering how to pawn it off on someone else. [...]

RIP Buddy

I was going to write another book review today, but current events have bumped that way down the list and moved our sweet dog Buddy up to the top. Buddy has been hanging on by a thread for a while now (I won’t go into the gory details here) and yesterday was his time to [...]
