After the election, I struggled with what to say about it on my blog. I ended up writing a passionate post about how dismayed I was about Trump's win. I never publicized the blog on my Instagram or Facebook feeds, and I hid the post several months later. The tone didn't fit with my… Continue reading Love Trumps Hate

The Process of Relearning
"If you don't use it, you'll lose it." It's a phrase I find myself pondering as I study for my test. Right now I'm in the "background" chapters of my reference manual, which consists of lots of math that unfortunately I've forgotten. I don't really like the way the book is structured because a lot… Continue reading The Process of Relearning
January Craft Goals
Hello my friends! We meet again. Are you now thinking of that Creed song from fifteen years ago? YOU'RE WELCOME! I'm really not sure how I'm still awake.

Knit-Wise: Chunky Ribbed Hat Review
I admit that when I opened this project's box, I was both excited and a little apprehensive! I had never worked a project in the round before, used circular needles, or used any decreasing stitches. But I was eager to knit a hat and dug into the project. This box comes with all the materials… Continue reading Knit-Wise: Chunky Ribbed Hat Review
A New Normal
For the past week, I've struggled to articulate what I'm feeling -despair, rage, sadness, disgust, disbelief. On November 8, our country elected a racist, bigoted, xenophobic sexual predator for president. And this past week, I've been trying to come to terms with why and how that happened. It's something that I think analysts and pundits… Continue reading A New Normal
A Special Project – Philly Wedding Sampler
Hello everyone! I'm kind of in denial that October is already over. It was a busy month, but a good one. I just returned from visiting family in Pennsylvania. I was so excited for that trip; I hadn't seen my family in awhile, my cousin was getting married (!), and it's actually FALL over on the… Continue reading A Special Project – Philly Wedding Sampler
Labor Day Weekend
In the world of consulting, sometimes you are so busy that you're not sure if you'll be able to meet your deadlines on time (that was me two weeks ago). And sometimes, you have no work to do, which leads you down a spiral angst as you wonder if no one ever wants to work with… Continue reading Labor Day Weekend
Emerging from (Report) Limbo
In August, my entire department goes into crunch mode. One of our clients requires reports due at the end of the month and everyone buckles down to meet the deadlines. People are overworked, and normally sweet coworkers look murderous if I ask them a question. I too have a report due on the 31st this year, but… Continue reading Emerging from (Report) Limbo
I Bless the Rain
*This originally was supposed to be a painting of raindrops, but somewhere in the middle of this creation, I realized that perfect raindrops are hard to paint with my limited skills. Time to go ABSTRACT. Part of my job involves environmental field sampling. It is not something that I do too often, which is to… Continue reading I Bless the Rain
