Well, you know what they say. This is why this week sucks: Joel working doubles (8 am-midnight) THREE full days this week A three-hour work meeting that put me behind for the majority of Wednesday Covering a city commission meeting until long past midnight Monday Staying up until midnight Tuesday putting together MEAP charts My [...]

Ugh, if only the pair I tried on at Anthropologie weren’t $200. Seriously, $200 pants. On a different note, I have been seriously delinquent with blogging. I have about five posts knocking around my head but I have had utterly no inspiration to sit down and write. Call it journalism disease.

One of my favorite mantras around the end of December and beginning of January is that I don’t believe in New Years resolutions. This year is, for some reason, different.

It’s the first time Joel and I have taken a serious, week-long vacation together, and the first time [...]

Good things about today: It’s my 25th birthday! That’s like, mid-20s (according to Jessica Simpson) Joel is home this year! (He was out of town last year for work) I’ve eaten two cupcakes so far and get a funfetti cake later Purple, white and blue balloons! A Happy Birthday banner and streamers when I woke [...]
