Out with the old underwear, in with the New Year

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Last night I rearranged my drawers. Not rearranged really…more cleaned them out. My suitcase from Christmas vacation unloaded and open atop my bed, I put clothes rarely worn into it. Summer tops I had thought might be good for layering but had laid in my drawer unworn since 80 degrees, skirts from my closet that […]

In the mood to be anyone but me today…

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Today I’ve wanted to have anyone’s life but mine. The thought that got me out of bed (with the help of my lovely husband) was of searching job postings in Boston for a new career path. I heard about the blog of a friend of a friend and I obsessively sleuthed the pages […]

For Felecia’s Birthday, we choose a to have a “Phenomenal Woman” Theme. In the past couple of weeks, my friend has been thinking about how little of herself had actually claimed womanhood and decided it was time..time to look in the mirror and say:
I’m a woman
Phenomenally

Fashion Photography for Beginners

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I’ve recently begun to get more into creating art.  Saturday night, a group of girls came over to pose for fashion photography in front of my camera.  I looked like a pro with my tripod set-up and didn’t use the flash (doing those two things makes you a pro, right?).  The girls and I […]

Finally…I’ve found my identity

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Around my office, the staff has a sort of interest, nah obsession, with a particular personality identification test/system called the enneagram. Before I started working here last summer, I’d never heard the word, nor had I heard so many grown people self-proclaim to be numbers. “I’m a 5.” “Well, you know, I’m a 3.” […]

…to live deliberately…

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

On my birthday last week, David and I went swimming in Walden Pond. It’s the most idyllic setting to swim–beautiful green trees, a large lake with soft, cool water, hundreds of chipmunks huddling about on paths trying to dodge feet that come trampling through. And it’s the former home of good ole Henry […]

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

When my friend redid this site for me about a year ago, I wanted to be able to have a page where I could keep up with the books I read and possibly write reviews for some of them.  At times, I get into long stints of reading crazy amounts of books and it can […]

Yard Sale Aftermath

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Well, today we finally had our yard sale. Despite the fact that the tables look practically untouched, we made about $150 which isn’t bad. Hopefully we can make more off some clothes I’m going to take to consignment. It’s really great just seeing all the stuff our of my house, and welcoming […]

Our New Apartment

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

I got such a kind email from my friend Anna this morning. I met Anna when I was doing YWAM in New Zealand back in 2001. She’s really cool, and I’ve been doing a bad job of keeping up with her. This morning, she wrote to say how much she’d been missing […]

The long commute

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Typically, I drive my car to work.  If my roommate isn’t going to the gym in the morning, I ride with her.  But for a week now, our car’s been in the shop with some belt broken, then waiting for the belt to come in, and now waiting for it to get mended.  In the […]

A Downtown Valentine’s Day

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Back in December, David started telling me that he had a really great idea for out Valentine’s Day. In the past, we’ve traded years thinking of something fun to do for one another. One year I had a picnic on my dorm room sky with pasta and red wine; another year we sat in […]

Insecurities Pop Up Everywhere

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

For the past week or so, we’ve been sleeping with our door shut.  This may not seem like an odd thing to most of you, but we’ve got this wonderful/ansy cat who cannot stay in one place for long.  Anytime we have our door shut and he wants out, he scratches (with his nonclaw paws) […]

I love new years (not to be confused with New Year’s)

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

Despite the fact that my New Year’s holidays tend to be uneventful, I love new years.  I love the idea of getting to start fresh with a new year.  I love the idea of getting to have a clean slate and think of new things that I’d like my year to be about.  I love […]
