Catching Up
Around Summer last year my life became insanely crazy or crazy insane – whichever comes first. We had the wedding, which was amazing and beautiful and magical – ugh, that reminds me…I still haven’t gotten pictures up and I don’t even want to think about thank you cards. Yikes. After the wedding, we had an [...]
The Big Stress
AJB told me that moving is among one of the most stressful times in a person’s life. I’m inclined to believe him. Just a few short weeks ago, we made the final decision to sell our house. We did not take this decision lightly, but I don’t think anyone ever realizes how stressful these things [...]
Getting Specific
I have this trick that more recently, people call “The Secret”. It’s not really a secret and I don’t want to call it that because I never read the book. Also, it sounds dumb. This trick is simply asking for what you want and being as specific as possible. Seems that whenever I do [...]
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
If you’re like me, occasionally old sayings pop into your head and you go, “ain’t it the truth?” Well sir, today’s blog title is indeed the truth for these most certainly are the best and worst of times.
I’ve been attempting to articulate what I’m feeling over the last two weeks and finding that run [...]
The Best Birthday Ever (I Have the Best Husband in the World)
35 will go down in history as the best birthday ever! In the weeks leading up to the big day, I was feeling blue and it was slowly dawning on me that I was actually 35 and no longer 25; that somehow time had occurred and I was officially in my middle thirties. I wasn’t [...]
Here we go again
When I was little I used to get excited when my birthday month rolled around for several reasons. One: Its my birthday coming up soon! Two: March is always a beautiful month and I love the early days of Spring so very much.
When my Dad died, it hit me like a ton of bricks. [...]
Everything will be fine
I realize what one of my weakest points is: I over-think things. Does everyone do that or do the really successful people in life just go, “Yeah, I’m gonna jump of that bridge” and not worry about what happens when they hit the bottom? Do they assume they won’t hit the bottom? Are really successful [...]
An article I wrote applying for a writing job
I love writing almost as much as I love photography. If I can find a way to do both in my life, I will be truly happy. Here is a short article I submitted applying for a writing job for a multi-topic website. The site is along the lines of About.com, but you get paid [...]
In the end…2009
Now’s as good a time as any to contemplate the last 300+ days. You might wanna grab a snack for this one.
January
Seems like forever ago. We had friends Dave and Jason over for dinner. I cooked and cleaned, food was good, company was better. My brother JCS and I drove up to San Fransisco [...]
The Two Ryes
Once upon a time…
…I didn’t care what people thought. I didn’t think anyone was reading this blog and I felt free to write whatever the hell I pleased. Mostly, I talked about the days, the things that filled them, and the people who swerved in an out of my life. And then it happened, I [...]
