On Christmas night my boyfriend and I had to grudgingly pack up our belongings and trek back home from our holiday. And yes, it sucked we had to come back that night and couldn’t drag out the vacation a little longer. Ho hum. Therefore instead of rushing to bed, I insisted on staying up to

2013: Small Easy Pieces
I tend to get overwhelmed when I try to make resolutions. It starts off all fun, everyone’s in a circle grasping champagne and trading ideas for how this year will KICK SO MUCH ASS. Then it’s your turn for resolution naming, but you can’t say yours aloud. That would take way too long. All you
A Whole New Year!
Holy crap. That Christmas season just FLEW by, didn’t it? One minute I’m doing Christmas crafts in mid December, and the next I’m trying to play “What are you doing New Years?” on the piano. Long story short, stuff got busy and the ladies of Gen*HER got all wrapped up in it. While we were
Unrealistic House Expectations
Hi Gen*HER! It’s been ages, did anyone miss me? I apologize for being gone so long – I’ve been swamped with projects and travel and … because apparently things happen in threes around here … along with Jessie and Heather, I TOO bought a house! LOL. I decided to look at all the meticulous planning the
Daily Productivity Diary Challenge
I used to keep a diary when I was a tween. It primarily highlighted superficial things like what I was wearing, or who I talked to that day, or which boys I was currently obsessed with. Apparently I was a ten-year-old with really deep thoughts. Then, when I was in high school and college, my
R.I.P. Old School Salesman
My boyfriend says he heard somewhere that the last refuge of the pushy car salesman is the mattress store. And he’s right. At some point in time, the aggressive, condescending sales tactic must’ve worked on someone, somewhere. Otherwise I have to assume it would’ve gone extinct by now. “You don’t know what you want, you’re
Foraging for Wine
This past weekend my boyfriend, his sister and her husband and I ventured into the gorgeous hils of Virginia wine country. Normally we take these kinds of trips in the Fall Fantastic Foliage season, so I was a little trepidatious about taking this time to exlore the gorgeous mountainside in the historically sweltery August instead
Can This Podcast Improve My Life?
I’m a podcast listener. In the car, while I work out, while I clean the kitchen, anywhere and everywhere. I find podcasts a quick way to throw some knowledge into my earholes while I’m busy doing something tedious. And since a large part of what I love to do / have to do for hours
Book Review: Gone Girl
I hadn’t heard about Gone Girl or Gillian Flynn before my boyfriend got a Nook. At that point, I wasn’t even sure I liked the Nook. Yes, I’d awkwardly tried to read outside on an iPad before and found that wasn’t possible, but I didn’t like the idea of dragging around another technological device that
Posture Probs
I tend to look like this when I sit in front of the computer: And this is not good for anybody. What it means for me is the fast lane to elongated back muscles, shortened chest muscles, back problems, and serious neck issues. Not to mention a most certain hunchback in my future. Because I
