Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Today is one of my very favorite holidays of the year. It has been since I was a child, as I loved to dress up and had a pretty wild imagination. Halloween is also the day I got my first pet that I was allowed to pick out. We already had Kitty (although [...]

Concert review and Halloween prep

The Coldplay concert last night was awesome. The music was fantastic and they played so many wonderful songs. The band was really high energy, especially lead singer Chris Martin, who jumped around the stage during nearly the entire set. I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after listening to the band for so long, but [...]

Pumpkin carving

I’ve snapped out of my bad mood and I’m really excited for the Coldplay concert tonight and Halloween on Friday. Mike and I carved pumpkins last night and they turned out really well. Usually, I do a realy similar design every year (I use the term “design” very loosely here), it’s just a face, but [...]

A gloomy Gus

It’s really dark and dreary out this today and the gloomy weather has really put a damper on my mood. I don’t know why but I have very little energy today and it’s already been a cray one. A bunch of stressful stuff happened at work this morning and I’m just feeling kind of crappy. [...]

A party, a restaurant and a movie

The Upstatement office party went really well on Friday–a lot of people came, the food and drinks were great (if I do say so myself) and it seemed like everyone had a fantastic time. I’m really glad it was a success and it made me super excited for our Halloween party this Friday. I think [...]

Getting crafty

I spent several hours last night baking treats for the Upstatement office-warming party tonight. I think everything turned out well and I’m excited for the festivities. I’m really proud of the guys for getting their own office and already such a successful business. It’s definitely very cool.
I also spent some time knitting and I have [...]

Serenity now

The other day someone told me that my blog makes them feel serene. I took that as a high compliment but it also made me laugh. I doubt most people would call me serene in my everyday life. Fiery was a word used to describe me recently as well. But I’d say I’m a combination [...]

Too young for a senior moment?

Is 24 too young to be having senior moments? I’ve had several in the last two days and you know what, I’m getting pretty annoyed. I am so not ready to become this forgetful and clumsy. I think part of the problem is that I try to do too many things at once, leading to [...]

Dreams and nature

Something about the fall always makes me want to listen to the Counting Crows. I don’t really know why, but the music seems perfect for a crisp fall day, especially one spent in the woods/mountains. One line in particular seemed relevant this morning, “If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.” As [...]

Quintessential New England Weekend

I had a fantastic weekend with Mike, as we headed to North Adams, Mass., on Saturday morning to check out the MASS MOCA. The drive over was beautiful, the leaves were out in brilliant shades of red, yellow and orange, shimmering in the sunlight. I feel like I’ve gote such a good fill of foliage [...]
