I'm actually so exhausted and weary that I went to a blog generator website tonight. I should maybe feel ashamed, but once I saw what they were giving me, I'm actually pretty bummed I didn't find these magical tools sooner. At first I made a pact with myself that I would write about the first… Continue reading When All Ideas Fail…

Tolkien Resolutions Part Two — Villains
So after I wrote the post yesterday about resolutions inspired by Tolkien creations, I received a few comments and texts from friends asking me about some of their favorites I had forgotten to mention. When I looked closer at the list of suggested characters I noticed a common theme throughout -- they were all bad… Continue reading Tolkien Resolutions Part Two — Villains
Tolkien Resolutions For 2013
I resolved to write in my blog every day this week. What does it say about me that my goal was a week long instead of committing to something for the year? Does it say lazy or am I so realistic that I'm actually a super genius because I'm setting myself up for success? Last… Continue reading Tolkien Resolutions For 2013
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,500 views in 2012.

I knew this was true on some level because I have lived alone before (while going through treatments for illness)… Continue reading Who’s That Crazy Hermit? Oh… me.
5 Things to Do on the Day You Did Not Get Your Dream Job
1. Multi-task. It's important to keep your head in the game and not let the rejection slow you down.

Today I combined many activities that I had never before thought to,… Continue reading 5 Things to Do on the Day You Did Not Get Your Dream Job
The Frantic Mindset of a Self Serve Gal
I very rarely go to full service gas stations. I’m not sure if this is a service that people learn to utilize growing up or not, but my parents never used them so I assume that is why I never use them. Something about another human being pumping my gas for me… feels rude. I… Continue reading The Frantic Mindset of a Self Serve Gal
Magic Pink Medicine
I feel that Pepto Bismol is the cure for everything. I'm like the strict greek father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding who believes that Windex is a cure all. I think part of the reason I love it so much is that it is a pretty color, but also, who likes diarrhea? Very few… Continue reading Magic Pink Medicine
