I’ll be the first one to admit I’m not the best at following through on my goals. So when I said I was going to take back my identity post-breakup, I didn’t expect too much from myself. After all, I’m busy with grad school, have a habit of falling back into bad habits real… Continue reading Party for One: How Am I Doing?
Gigi Engle said: “Sure, getting a new haircut has a reputation as about the cheesiest way a woman says, ‘Eat a dick’ to her ex, but I had to do something drastic to remind myself that I am a kick-ass woman who didn’t deserve this BS, to feel in control of my life.” … Continue reading Get Him Out My Hair
I was not looking forward to Valentine’s Day this year. I haven’t spent the holiday alone since 2013, and that was the ultimate treat-myself day. For the last five years, I was part of a couple on the Most Important Day for Lovers. We didn’t always celebrate it in the most romantic way, but… Continue reading All the Single Ladies: Valentine’s Day 2019
Even with a mutual breakup, a mourning period is necessary to properly lament the relationship that once was, the person you’re no longer with, and the fact things are ending. So, with that in mind, I composed an epic playlist, allowed myself to drink an entire bottle of wine, cried all around the apartment,… Continue reading “It’s Over”: Seven Films I Watched Post-Breakup
2018 began with me crying and laughing hysterically in a mini-van loaded up with personal belongings with a passenger window that refused to close as I drove to my mother’s instead of my new place of residence because I was scared someone might break into the van parked on the street and steal said… Continue reading Why 2018 Was The Worst
This isn’t what I thought life would be like post-grad, but—then again—I don’t think I ever had a real plan for the months between graduation and possibly starting graduate school. I couldn’t have imagined the frantic hurry to deal with the holiday season and applications that would ensue once I graduated, and I certainly didn’t… Continue reading Life in Limbo
One year, a week, and three days ago, I was in a car accident. I still don’t really know how to talk about it. How do you explain a traumatic event? Do you talk about the physical trauma—cuts, bumps, bruises—or the mental? The minutes before, hours after, or following months? How do you sum up… Continue reading Giving Thanks: A Year After the Accident
While Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, my family doesn’t really celebrate beyond the mandatory hand out candy, kids wear costumes, watch Hocus Pocus type of thing. So, no, I’ve never had a haunted house or family costumes or any special traditions. After moving out and in with The Captain, I was determined to… Continue reading Looking Spoopy: Halloween Home Décor
As I mentioned back in May, The Captain and I moved downstairs into the master bedroom of The Haus which is bigger, better, and gives us our own bathroom. Always up for another chance to redecorate, I planned the layout and we bought some new things to spruce up what we’ve come to realize is… Continue reading Where We Lay Our Heads: A Room Tour
With what little time The Captain has at home we try to spend it wisely. Half of it is devoted to getting him ready for the upcoming week of work, but the other half is split between adventures, relaxation, and wedding planning. Just a day after he got home from work, M and I forced… Continue reading Let’s Go to the Mall: A Day at Arden Fair
