Heather. Aspiring queen of everything. Potty-mouthed realist. Old enough to have a teenager. Immature enough to laugh at poop jokes. Video gamer, book reader, crafter. Hater of improper grammar and poor spelling.

It’s starting.

This kid. I used to be the parent that he’d listen to. When he and his dad had problems, he’d come to me and we’d talk through it. He was respectful. Did what he was told. He was a ...

Fill In The Blank Friday

1. The best surprise ever would be a visit from any of my friends or family back home. I miss them all. 2. Summer Fridays with my mother are my most favorite memory. Fridays were her paydays, and we&...

Easier said than done.

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is wait for someone to be ready to talk about something, to know that there’s nothing you can do until that time. Even harder is trying to not be bothered by ...

Tuesday, you were damn near perfect.

I decided this weekend that I would start running again, since I have the time, and actually follow through with it until I can run 5k without totally dying. As it stands currently, I can run about a...

Weekend.

This weekend was one of the best I’ve had in quite some time. It wasn’t filled with crazy parties or expensive outings. It was a weekend full of healthy food, lots of time outdoors with m...

Fill In The Blank Friday

1. Something that is very near and dear to my heart is equal rights for everyone. It really bugs me that we still, in 2012, live in a world where people are denied rights because of who they are. 2. ...

What to wear on your last day of work (when you don’t know it’s your last day of work)

My Friday started out like any other, recently anyway – a mixture of dread and anxiety, hoping that everything would go smoothly and no Xanax would need be popped during my stint at the office....

Down the rabbit hole… again.

Tea. Pajamas. Dirty hair. Gossip Girl. Knotted stomach. A slight breeze. Chipped nail polish. A new book. A racing mind. Not wanting to go to sleep. Wanting to do nothing but sleep. Every bit conflic...

Fill In The Blank Friday

1. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is hit the snooze button and curse. 2. I can hardly wait for moving day. Nope, no date yet, but it’s getting closer by the minute. 3. The ...

Sober.

They say that when you hit milestones in your sobriety, you’re at your most vulnerable. That’s when the disease kicks in, tells you you’re better and that hey, look! You’ve wo...

Ahoy.

Wow. Looking back at the last three posts I wrote before my little hiatus, I guess it’s clear why I took one. I was definitely not in a good place. I am happy to say that, for the most part, I ...

I didn’t go to work this week. Like, at all. I couldn’t muster the… ANYTHING to get out of bed. I stayed in my room, in my bed until Wednesday afternoon when, in my pajamas, I drove...

I just deleted three paragraphs and stared at the WordPress webform for a solid three minutes. Nothing seems right at this moment. I lost a beautiful friend this week. Heather was one of the most int...

Don’t poke the bear.

I am a total grumpy bear today. Chalk it up to not feeling well, chalk it up to what you’d like, but I think it’s mostly that I’ve got myself so amped on the idea of moving that eve...

A little bit of blog tag.

Sophie, who writes a blog I’ve just started reading, tagged me in a little blog game. I have never done one before, so I thought why not. I’m in! The rules are as follows: 1. Post these r...

Whew!

What a crazy busy week! Between work and what little extracurricular life I’ve tried to pack in, I really just haven’t had a moment to sit and do nothing. I almost can’t remember wh...

Naked Face Challenge

The Naked Face Challenge was started by Deanna, though I only recently heard of it through Jess. For the most part, I *never* post photos of myself without make up, and if I do, I’m wearing a h...

FebPhotoADay, Days 12 – 18

Day 12: Inside your closet. You can definitely see a glimpse of my addiction to stripes here. Day 13: Blue. I took a photo of my computer desktop; it was rainy and grey, and I was in my office all da...

Gotta love it when a plan comes together.

It hasn’t actually FULLY come together yet, but man… it’s trucking right along and has been a lot easier than I thought it would be so far. When I first found out that my MIL was go...

Fill In The Blank Friday / Steppin’ Out Saturday Mashup

1. I started my blog because I have things to say, damn it! I have experiences to share and stories to tell, and maybe someone somewhere out there will benefit from them. If not, then at least I can ...

When your eighteen month plan becomes your six month plan.

I found out yesterday, in a very nonchalant and indirect manner, that my mother-in-law is planning to sell the house that I’m currently living in. Let the panic begin! Mind you, I am in no way ...

Thirty days.

It is insane to me to think of all the things that have gone on in the last thirty days. Dealing with my anxiety, overhauling my eating habits, reconnecting with old friends, quitting smoking (yeah, ...
