Here are my last couple weeks in a nutshell - trips, novel, and kittens edition!

The Time I
Recently I went down a rabbit hole on in this blog, clicking on different Related Links at the bottom of posts I hadn’t seen in ages – some of which I barely remember writing at all. One of the ones I stumbled across was “The Time I Got Questioned by the Cops.” Just seeing the… Continue reading The Time I
Cheese Fundamentals
This past weekend I finally spent my birthday money from Ma and Tom. I was looking for the perfect-for-me opportunity, and then my job loss delayed things even further. But finally I found exactly what I wanted, and I spent Saturday afternoon in a cheese making class. Gisela, the owner of Curds and Wine, taught the three-hour… Continue reading Cheese Fundamentals
Race Walking Update

I chose to donate to my local animal control because that is where I got Carmen. So long as it goes to help these wonderful creatures we call… Continue reading Tom’s Birthday Request

When I don't have an exact spot for something, I end up wasting tons of time looking for it, like my keys (Note: I have progressed past my tried and true nail to an actual key holder - thanks Ma & Tom.). I… Continue reading Everything in Its Place
Not a Drop
Anyone who has ever read this blog more than once knows that I'm a planner. I have blog posts already scheduled out for months ahead. That is not to say that the calendar is full: I simply have certain blogs that are date specific or are spread out so I don't cover the same topic… Continue reading Not a Drop
