A Tennessee Trek

It’s been a long time (way too long) since I’ve written here and I really have no good excuse for my lack of posting, except that I’ve been too busy living life to write about it lately. But in light of recent big life-changing events, I feel a post is in order. I’ll try not [...]

A family affair

Things have been very busy around here, which is why I’ve sort of dropped my blogging frequency. Mike and I are in the thick of a hunt for a new apartment, which is consuming an unbelievable amount of time. We like the place we live now, but we really need more space. Plus, its incredibly [...]

Losing another loved one

I’ve sort of been ignoring this thing for a while, but today, I feel the urge to write. It’s been an interesting and sad week that began with a phone call on Sunday morning from my dad telling me that grammy was in the hospital and not doing well. She continued to decline and on [...]

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 [...]

Stories, Food, Life

I finally took the plunge and got my hair cut after nearly two years of letting it grow. It was a great way to start the weekend because it was relaxing and I was well-groomed to meet Mike for dinner after. The actual cut isn’t anything fancy, just a little trim with some shaping. It [...]

Dreaming of summer

The other day, I watched “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” starring one of my favorite actresses, Rachel McAdams. The movie tells the story of a man who has a genetic disorder that causes him to travel through time and of the girl/woman he meets in his travels. I thought I had read this book, but I [...]

Think spring

It’s spring! We’ve been experiencing such lovely (and unseasonable) weather in the last week that it seems to have put me, and nearly everyone else, in a really great mood. It’s hard not to smile when you can wear shorts outside in March in Massachusetts! Mike and I went on our first outdoor run last [...]

Luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Unfortunately, the only green item of clothing I own that’s season appropriate is a wool sweater, so I’m WAY overdressed today since it’s supposed to be hovering around 60 this afternoon. I made some Irish Soda Bread for our work party and everyone loved it, which made me feel good. It’s [...]

Walking on sunshine

Yesterday I wrote about my wild trip home from New York City to Boston that was slightly harrowing, but turned out OK in the end. And things are looking even brighter: Delta is going to refund the unused portion of my ticket! Woohoo! Even if Delta hadn’t agreed to the refund, I would’ve likely gotten [...]

A very wet weekend

As I wrote about last week, I’ve been traveling a lot lately. Mostly, the trips have been very smooth (one hiccup in Colorado, but it was handled remarkably well). I wouldn’t call myself a pessimist, but all the good travel luck I’d been having seemed to good to be true and I had a bad [...]
