Check the judgement at the door.

March 12, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

There is something that us as human beings need to remember: Don’t worry about everyone else, you are not them, and you do not have any say in what they do (unless you’re their parent and they’re under the age of 18, then that’s a different story). My nerves are grated when I see nasty […]

Let’s talk ‘bikini bridge’.

January 16, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

My hair is long enough to have to tie back now. But it’s at that stage where you still need a bunch of clips to pin up the back bottom layers so I feel like a four year old struttin’ my stuff at the gym. However, that’s not what makes me a smidge annoyed today. […]

My brain is on fire.

January 7, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

The overachiever in me has gone insane. My brain apparently has a limitless supply of capacity and is hungry for more. Someone needs to take all technology away from me, and all utensils I can use to draw, write, knit or crochet. And books, don’t forget to grab my hundreds of books on the way […]

Miss Fitness finally gets certified.

December 23, 2013.Reading time 5 minutes.

Around six years ago, while I was soaking up the rays of the social life, much more than I am now, I was given the nickname Miss Fitness. It came about one night, in a packed bar, when I happened across a $50 bill on the floor that went unclaimed and the bartender let me […]

The photo that will change the face of…

December 18, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

Every year, I send out more than 50 holiday cards to family and close friends. Every year it’s usually a blend of cards decked with snowmen and cartoon/cutesy reindeer, signed just simply with my name. Every. Single. Year. Just like every year I get dozens of cards from the same family members and friends, most […]

Owning it.

November 13, 2013.Reading time 7 minutes.

Up until the other side of the age of 13, I couldn’t even tell the lady at the register at McDonald’s that I wanted a six piece nugget meal when my family and I went out for our usual Friday night family date. My mother would tell her what she wanted, what she wanted for […]

The problem with social media.

October 23, 2013.Reading time 6 minutes.

Back when I was in high school, we had ICQ, AIM and MSN Instant Messenger. We had emails and live journals. We chatted with friends, wrote about the trials of our young adulthood and that was the end of the story. Now in the age of social media expansion, all of that has changed. I […]

All I want for my birthday is a New England Revolution win.

October 14, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

I have been a die hard football (*coughsoccercough*) fan for as long as I can remember. My older cousin (who happened to be my favorite person in the whole world at the time) played on a local team when he was in high school. One night, when I was 11, he was home on college […]

The back up plan.

October 1, 2013.Reading time 8 minutes.

I can’t say that for my entire life I’ve always had a back up plan, but I can say that it is true one for everything I’ve ever done has been in place for as long as I can remember. I learned very early on that disappointment, well, sucks. I didn’t like the way it […]

The red door.

September 18, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

“A red door means the home within is a vibrant place, full of life, energy and excitement…” As a lot of you already know, my house is more than 130 years old. It’s bathed in history of the midcoastal area, and it shows. Despite the changes that have been made to the inside to bring […]
