My apologies for not keeping up with the blog better! To say that there have been many changes afoot in this geeky, punky life would be a vast understatement. Normalcy is a fond memory and right now, I am stealing what little leisure time I have to keep up with my reading list and train […]
Hubs and I had a mutual day off, so we strapped on our walking shoes, headed out about an hour from home and went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. It’s a smaller zoo than our home zoo in Denver, but I really loved it. The enclosures are built to be more naturally […]
So, Hubby has to work 9 shifts in a row, I’m still trying to wrap my head around all my duties at my new gig, and cooking’s going to be a pain in the tookus for a little bit. Time to break out the slow cooker! Even in the dog days of summer, having a […]
So, I started training for a new job as a junior sales manager at one of my favorite boutique-style clothing chains. This particular brand is one of the two denim types I consistently buy (the other being Gloria Vanderbilt) either new, or actively hunt for at the thrift shop. I love the fact that they […]
I am very sorry for the lack of posting in the last few weeks! It’s been a busy time. My mother is visiting from out-of-state, and I am mere days away from starting a new job! For the last eight months I have been working at a department store, first as a seasonal sales associate […]
A year ago today, I married a brilliant, amazing man who keeps pushing my boundaries and helping me become a better person. He says I do the same thing for him. Really, I think that’s one of the basic tenants on what marriage should be — finding someone who helps drive you to self-improvement while […]
So my mom sent me an interesting article today on the nature of motivation and attention deficit disorder. I was diagnosed with AD/HD when I was six and we’d always blamed it for my inability to finish or even start a lot of projects. The latest incarnation of this has been my vow to exercise […]
I’m going to open up and be really vulnerable here, mostly because I napped all day and now it’s midnight and I’m reading the marriage posts on Offbeat Home and A Practical Wedding (two wonderful blogs!) It’s inspired me to open up and become a little vulnerable on this tiny corner of the internet. A […]
Recently I sat down at one of the makeup counters on my lunch break at work and requested that the associate give me a makeover since it was slow. Five years ago I never would have dreamed of going to work without makeup, but four years in the grocery industry taught me tmost people don’t […]
So I mentioned a little while ago that I hit up the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab booth at Comic Con. I am a strong believer that regardless of one’s personal tastes in makeup, clothing, or skincare regime, most people (regardless of gender) should be breaking out the fancy scents for special occasions. Smell, after all, […]
