Well, it struck again. That situation when I feel like I’m too busy with family, friends, work, travel, wedding planning, moving, errands, home furnishing, going out, grocery shopping, cooking,...
As I write this, I’m sitting in a coffee shop. The house music is playing at a dull roar overhead, countless conversations are bouncing off the shop’s exposed brick walls and I hear the constant...
The end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 were busier than I could have ever imagined. This is actually the first time since mid-December that I’ve been able to stop and take a breath. (In fact,...
Life coach and motivational speaker Tony Robbins says, “Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year — and...
I walked into Papyrus one day to purchase a bridal shower card and gift bag. After a few minutes of quick browsing, I almost walked out of the store with only the items I needed. That is, until I...
Thanksgiving is here! While I think “What I’m Thankful For” blog posts can sometimes be a little cliche, I’m making it a tradition to write one every year because, if you know me well, I have a...
One of my main reservations about writing book reviews here was that I wouldn’t be able to do justice to some of the great books I had read. So of course, once I finished “The Curious Incident of...
I don’t have much to highlight for this weekend, as it looks like I’ll have quite a bit of downtime. The only thing that is set in stone as of right now is tonight’s 11:30 p.m. showing of...
My fiance and I in front of the Old Dekalb County Courthouse in Decatur, Ga. From when we got engaged in July until early October, my fiance and I were knee-deep in wedding planning until early...
I think an awful lot when I travel. Especially when it involves airports and planes and me being surrounded by strangers. The last time I traveled was when I visited Buffalo for a work trip. It was...
The Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor. “The past is obdurate. It doesn’t want to change.” That’s the verse that was repeated over and over as I moved...
I don’t believe I’ve written one of these posts since August, so accept my apologies in advance. I’ve been on a blogging kick lately and am hoping to ride it out through the rest of this year. And...
The autumn leaves Drift by my window The autumn leaves Of red and gold There’s nothing more that I love to see during the months of October and November than a tree-lined street or a tree-filled...
Through my entire life, I’ve always wanted to have a small library at home. Nothing would satisfy me more than to have at least a small nook in the corner of a house — lit up by a ton of natural...
Have you ever found yourself in a public setting — in the park, on a train, at a restaurant — when you had an immensely enlightening conversation with a stranger? One that gave you a totally new...
As I mentioned in the last ‘Good Reads for Your Weekend‘: I think I’ll spend some time lounging on the couch with my Nook, reading “Shanghai Girls” by Lisa See, writing some blog posts, listening...
This weekend will be the polar opposite from all of my upcoming weekends. Travel will take up plenty of time in September (just the way I like it!), so I am doing my best to rest up and be frugal...
Did you notice something new about my blog when you landed on the home page today? Take a good look…and hold your guesses until the end.As time has passed, this blog continues to change when it...
Aside from my mid-week birthday celebration, this week was incredibly slow. I’m glad the weekend has finally arrived! Over the next few days, I’ll get to meet and enjoy time together with fellow...
As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a sort of blogging hiatus this summer. I’m going to do my best to get into the swing of things, especially since the busy-ness of the season is (sadly) coming...
One year ago from today, I went through the first day of my post-graduate internship. As I walked into the office, I couldn’t shake off my nervousness. After all, this opportunity was laying the...
Growing up in the Midwest, tornadoes were no stranger to me. I had my first tornado scare when I was five-years-old and in kindergarten. It was naptime, and many of my classmates had gotten up from...
There is plenty to explore in the city of Guadalajara, but if you’re there for more than two to three days, I’d suggest taking a half day or a full day to explore one of the outlying cities....
I first mentioned The Color Run back in December, when I registered to run the 5K with a few of my coworkers. At that time, I had no idea how difficult it would be for me to prepare for the race...
It’s Friday. The end to a very long week is finally here — though I can’t tell if it’s been a long week because of work, or because I’ve been anxiously waiting (since last weekend) to apartment...
When visiting New York City, you get the feeling that the city is infinitely more alive at night than it is during the day. That same feeling exists in Guadalajara. As night fell, countless people...
When I read “A Definitive Dish: Celebrating Goat in Jalisco” by Lesley Tellez, I knew I had to give birria a try during my visit to Guadalajara. Tellez writes, “Birria contains humble ingredients,...
As I mentioned in Friday’s post, my first international trip of the year took place over the weekend. For those who read the post, I mentioned that I would be announcing the destination upon my...
As a goal for 2012, I said I would make at least two international trips — one to a Spanish speaking country and another to a European country. I’m happy to tell you that the first international...
It’s already Friday — this week flew right by! …Which is particularly how I like things to go when I am anticipating weekend plans. I’m especially excited about the next few days — check my blog...
