I spent a lot of time worrying and stressing this weekend even though there were many marvelous things happening. I was somehow blinded by:what I wanted–right then and there,what wasn’t working,cleaning up messes,unanticipated shenanigans late into the night when I had articles due,a blog transfer that isn’t going so smoothly…mainly due to the fact that…

A Visit to The Chive (a dose of snark in poem form)
I’ve been thinking about a way to write about this all week, and this is what I came up with. I’m sorry if you like the Chive, I too was a fan…until I actually went to the site. This girl will no longer “chive on.” A Visit to the Chive Adapted (sort of) from…
Pin-teresting Motivational Quotes
You guys seriously crack me up. I wanted to do this post today to motivate myself (and you) and to get started on a positive note, but really, just go over to my Justin’s Peanut Butter Cup Giveaway and look at the comments! Were you aware that nearly every woman has a chocolate hiding spot?? …

{Monday Moves #2}: That Time I Got Attacked by a Bird {#MIMM}

Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend. Specifically the sleeping schedule. I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal.

{Fit Friday #5} Convenience
Hello Friends! I’m not gonna lie…many times I have planned on going to the gym but ended up “not having enough time,” or didn’t feel like getting all of my things together and making the 10 minute trip to the gym. But now…I kind of have no excuse. Sure, I’m busy, but I have at…
