Growing up is fun, right? It’s a fun bundle of feeling like an adult, and also needing an adult. An adultier adult. Anyone with me? Like, there are times when something comes up, and I’m like, “can’t my dad take care of this?” Except my dad is in New Mexico, which is like, 22 hours… Read More Building Traditions
I wrote before that Josh and I have Movie Pass and it’s the best thing ever. It’s a set fee, and then you can see a movie a day. It’s super amazing and we use it constantly! I’ve seen 18 movies since late last November, some more than once. Considering I had a significant work… Read More Movies of 2018
Spring has FINALLY come to the south. I know I said that before, but I was tricked. We had what they call blackberry weather, when it warms up and then cools back down. We were in a freeze warning over this past weekend. Freeze! In April! In Georgia! A disgrace. Still, Josh and I braved… Read More Spring Bucket List
Welcome, Spring, I am so glad to see you. The south has gone through some highs and lows (in temperatures, I mean), but I think we’re just about at the end of the cold weather. It’s rainy today but overall not too cold and some days are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve said it before, but I’m… Read More Welcome, Spring
Currently… READING I’ve been on a slight break from reading The Immortalists, but I have been re-reading Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and I highly recommend it! It’s a really interesting look at how we come to our decisions and actions internally, with such a narrow view of the situation. I’ve been reading so much fiction… Read More Reading, Watching, Listening – March 11
So in a previous post (), I mentioned that Josh and I have Movie Pass and promised to do a review. So here it is. Movie Pass is awesome. Get one! The end. Okay, obviously I’m kidding, but for real, Movie Pass is my favorite app of the season. Movie Pass is a movie subscription… Read More Movie Pass, I Love You
Reading… I just finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and it was SO good. My husband is a big Murakami fan, and it feels a little like magical realism, which I love (Gabriel Garcia Marquez is my jam). Big fan! Now, I’m reading The Immortalists and it’s very good! Different, but still really well written. I’ll… Read More Reading, Watching, Listening
Some weekends, all I want to do is curl up in my bed and read or binge watch television. Sometimes, I just want to hang out with Josh and our dogs. Other weekends, I’m ready to get out and explore the city, and hang out with our friends. This was one of those weekends! It… Read More Weekend Update: January 29
In New Mexico, Christmas Eve was always an event. Josh and I both have big, close families, and we all celebrate Christmas Eve as the bigger event. As a kid growing up, we’d have tamales and red chile, open ONE present each (normally our Christmas pajamas), and then go to Midnight Mass. As we got… Read More Christmas Eve Traditions
Every year, one of my jobs is to plan to the Leadership Team’s annual Christmas party. It’s one of my favorite and least favorite jobs of the year. Least favorite, because it’s kind of a lot of work and I have a lot of other work to do to close out the year, like budgets,… Read More Christmas Party Tiiiiiime
