My ears are burning.

I have been horribly remiss and haven’t posted here in 5 days – oops. Unfortunately, I’ve had a stomach flu and I’m not one of those prepared, forward thinking people who has blog posts ready for emergencies. I write rather on whim. Maybe this is a sign to stop that. I don’t have much to [...]

The Year In Review – 22 things I’m proud of from 2010

So when it comes to reviewing things, I have this tendency to only focus on what went wrong – the rejection, the failure. I can’t help it. I’m a perfectionist. But at least once, I need to remind myself that I am not as much of a hopeless flake as I think I am. This [...]

Progress: Looking forward & looking back.

I’ve discovered that getting up at 4:30am is actually quite lovely. Jesse’s started a new job at work, working 6:30am morning shifts. Since he has to walk (buses don’t run that early!) he gets up at around 4:30 to be ready in time. I hate waking up alone, so I decided to get up with [...]

I'm on the move.

A few days ago, I discussed being overwhelmed by the stuff going on this week. Now that things have been finalized, I feel like I’m able to discuss them a little more. It seems that in 2 weeks, I’m moving. Yes, twice in six months. No, I’m pretty sure I’m not insane, but then the [...]

Never, ever, ever, ever, give up.

Some stuff went down yesterday, stuff that threatened my dreams. I want to move out in a few months with my boyfriend, but we’re running into money troubles. You know, the economy and stuff (i.e. The Apocalypse). It was suggested that maybe we wouldn’t be able to leave, that there wasn’t enough money, that there [...]

I'm walking on sunshine, whooaaaooo

Today, I am delightfully happy. In fact, more than delightfully happy, and more importantly, I am hopeful. Yesterday, I admit, I was absolutely miserable. Somehow I wrote a happy post anyways, but my allergies were awful and I’d had a less than happy conversation with someone close to me. But today – oh today, I [...]

One of those delicious days

Yesterday was one of those delicious days. Jesse has lent me his laptop for the week so that while my sister is home for exams and my dad is off work, I can still work on the computer, without having to do battle for our one PC. Oh my gosh, this whole laptop thing is [...]

2009, Thou Shalt Be The Year of Non Suck.

It’s not that 2008 was necessarily a bad year. More like it was a hard year. A year where I noticed that my life was not what I wanted it to be at all, and as a result, went through lots and lots of growing pains. And I mean lots. And loudly. With lots of [...]

The drought is over. Finally.

For the past few months I’ve had a creative dry spell. If you’re an artist, you know what I’m talking about. For me, I’ve been stuck on the painting of my best friend, as well as a couple of others. But months were going by and I wasn’t finishing anything. I felt like I was [...]

Positivity Fridays: A New Tradition! (Because I just complain too much.)

Welcome to the first ever edition of Positivity Fridays. I realized last night that I spend far too much time complaining on this blog, and being negative and feeling stuck. Which is all well and good, because that’s just where I am right now. But I’m never going to get out of that, unless I [...]
