Guest Post: Carla and Pregnancy Body Image

Hello everyone! Let me start by thanking Hallie for this opportunity to address the public, because Lord knows my infant is a crappy audience for my rants J He mostly just drools and makes a face like he’s doing something indecent (which, most of the time, he is). Hopefully the response will be a little [...]

Warning: Cupcake Cuteness Ahead

Well, I’m now officially 26. My mom even said something like, “Jeez…25 is such a nice number. 26 sounds like it’s practically 30.” (Gee, thanks, Mom. I can’t be too mad at her seeing as how she was a pretty important part of me having a birthday, and also…she can’t talk to me about being [...]

Half Marathon Training Week 3

I am pretty proud of my efforts this week. I made the time to do all my workouts, didn’t sacrifice sleep, and had some pretty good workouts, if I do say so myself! I also tried to keep  better track of what I did, for blog and record-keeping purposes. Please skip to the end if [...]

Bribing with Baked Goods

Oh man…I am so glad today is (just about) over! It was my “12-hour work day” with early morning media for our new exhibit, so I’m glad it’s done and we got some good coverage. In order to bribe thank the people in other departments for helping out with the press, I decided to do [...]

My New Blue Toy

Susan was right, I got a new camera! I went with the one I’d been eyeing, a Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. It’s so much faster and smaller (yet the screen is way bigger) than my other camera and although they say megapixels don’t matter that much, my old camera was 5 MP and this one [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Blondies with Side Notes

Hellooo! How is everyone’s week going so far? Mine’s going…ok, I guess. Work is busy which is always nice, and I worked on a freelance project last night that was looming over my head so it was nice to get things done. Side note 1: check out my new blog header! I’ll link to the [...]

A List and An Epiphany

Hey folks! I am in a list-making mood tonight, so I hope you don’t mind. Here are some things that have been going on in my world since I last updated my little bloggy. Work is really busy this week! Some weeks are more hectic than others (as I’m sure if the case with most [...]

December Goals and November Remembered

Hello friends! My day has been…well. it’s over, let’s just say that. I’m going to a desperately needed Happy Hour with a girlfriend after work, so I have to get my butt up and go to the gym in the morning. Which means I’m going to bed an hour ago as soon as I hit [...]

Squash Semi-Fail (And Some Personal Ish)

Good evening! (Or morning or whenever you read this). Two days down, one to go until Thanksgiving! I’m more happy about the long weekend than the holiday itself, but it’ll be fun having a “big” group at Thanksgiving this year. For the past three years we’ve been anywhere from 3 to 6 people, but this [...]
