It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
Good morning friends! Oh, how is it already August? The days are both very long and short. I can't believe another client deadline of 8/31 is nearly here but on the other hand - did my brother really get his kitten only three weeks ago? I thought he had her for two months now. What… Continue reading It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Hello friends! I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but decided yesterday that I'd take the entire week off instead untz untz untz. It's weird that I feel a little guilty about this. I keep coming up with justifications internally (I've only had two days off since the New Year! I'm burned out!… Continue reading A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Staycation 2020
STAYCATION, ALL I EVER WANTED STAYCATION, HAD TO GET AWAY Morning friends! Somehow, we are now officially halfway through this dumpster fire of a year. But onto more positive topics - it is the first day of my staycation! I definitely limped to the finish line on this one. I love my job but finding… Continue reading Staycation 2020
FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Happy Monday, friends! How have you been? Things are good here. I thought I had this quarantine life figured out, but June was a little tough! I think I finally realized things won't be back to normal soon, even though it appears to be an American past time to pretend that the virus doesn't exist.… Continue reading FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Fulfillment with the Familiar
Happy Sunday, friends! I'm relaxing after a busy week at work (which extended a bit into Saturday, as well). Yesterday we took the pup on another hiking trip. It was a new park and we basically had it all to ourselves. It was beautiful! The weather was sunny and in the 80s, and I was… Continue reading Fulfillment with the Familiar
WHY ISN’T IT WARM YET
I kind of struggled with a title, but here you go! THIS IS MY TRUTH. Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well. The sun is shining today, which makes me so happy! The Midwest taunted me this week with two straight days of sunny, 80 degree weather, which to me is normal April… Continue reading WHY ISN’T IT WARM YET
Virtual Hug
Hi friends. I don't have a crafty update at the moment. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of all of you as we all deal with this unprecedented event. I am very aware of my privilege as I say that I worry about keeping my pantry stocked for the first time… Continue reading Virtual Hug
A Chapter Closes
Happy New Year, friends! It's hard to believe that it's 2020 already, much less the start of a new decade! Will you walk down memory lane with me for a bit, as I think about this past decade? By January 2010, I'd been in Austin for just two years but it didn't feel like home… Continue reading A Chapter Closes
Snow Wimp
So, yesterday it snowed. I begrudgingly watched it outside my window, cursing nature for not sticking with my selfish schedule. I had my performance review Monday; how could I drive in the snow? I didn't think about it much before falling asleep, because I knew it would stress me out too much. I sent my… Continue reading Snow Wimp
