Today the Holidays feel like they are about to take over the rest of my days until the end of the year…because they ARE! And I guess that’s just fine. I’m going to embrace it. Nobody’s head is...

Nov. 25: Dress Form Tree

Almost forgot to type out an entry. All of a sudden my life feels super busy. Duh. That’s what Holidays do. My apartment is still a shambles, but I’m getting there step by step. Tonight, I t...

Nov. 24: I Fixed It!

Remember my flower brooch Pinterest Fail? Well, I got a lot of suggestions on what to do with that disaster (namely, start all over again!), but someone asked if maybe I could somehow take a bu...

Nov. 23: Inflammatory Response

Did you know that I’m a No-vid? I’m one of those humans on this earth who hasn’t contracted Covid (fingers crossed, knock wood!). And I hope to remain that way forever! I got a Covid vaccine ye...

Nov. 22: Pinterest Fail!

I started work this morning at 6am, so I decided to call quitting time at about 2:30 so that I could work on the floral brooch that I wanted to use to accessorize for the infamous Black and Whit...

Nov. 21: So Much To Do!

I just spent the last hour and a half cutting out fabric circles for a craft I am trying to do. It’s going to be a floral brooch I want to wear as an accessory at the Black and White Holiday Par...


As you know, I started a physical and mental fitness journey on January 1 of this year. It started with the 75 Hard program, in which I thought I’d give myself a challenge since I was struggling...

Nov. 19: The Skinny on My Skin

Today I went to the dermatologist. I really like this guy a lot because he’s catching all the crap going on with my skin. But just LOOK at all the crap going on with my skin!! This is a list o...


You may or may not know this about me: I LOVE a good challenge! I started 2024 by doing something called 75 Hard, which is a “mental toughness” challenge (that includes a lot of diet and physica...


Gosh, I don’t know if I’ve ever missed two days in a row while trying to do a NoJoMo, but I appear to have done it. Here’s the thing - apparently, we just had the most transformative Supermoon...


[Athena] and I watched The Golden Bachelorette finale last night via FaceTime. And it did NOT disappoint! If you don’t know about the Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelorette, they are spinoffs...


And here we go again. Another day. A much more logical day since I got up early and did my morning routine the way I like to do it, but still another day at home. Maybe I’ll go out into the worl...

Nov. 12: Discombobulated

I woke up late and it started my day off weird. I asked to cancel my weekly call to a vendor in China, and he was ok with that, but then I wasn’t productive at all. I need to fix that tomorrow...

Nov. 11: 11/11

It’s Monday, but I had the day off work because it is Veteran’s Day. Thank you, Veterans, for your service. It’s also 1111, which is supposed to be a very high-vibrational day of new beginning...


I have tomorrow off for Veteran’s Day, so today has felt a lot like another Saturday, so I treated it like one. I went downtown with Martini to walk the city trail and made my way down to the ...

Nov. 9: A Saturday.

Woke up chilly, so I put a few layers on and a sweater on the dog and we ran out and met my friend Diane at the farmers market. It warmed up some while we were there. We walked and talked and ...

Nov. 8 - Everything On Fire!

Ugh. Today has been one of those work days where every. little. thing. is ON FIRE! And it started with frantic texting last night, which meant I knew today was going to be one of those days, but...

Nov. 6: Okay, So Now What?

Texts flying in my friend group this morning. Notes in PB. I didn’t sleep much at all last night. It’s one of those situations where you wake up in the morning and wonder if it’s all a dream? ...

Nov. 5: Election Day!

I’m nervous over here. It’s Election Day and it feels like we are at a fever pitch. We’re on edge. It feels like a dream. How did we even get here? How is it that people don’t remember what an a...

Nov. 3-4: I Forgot!

I guess I was so busy decompressing from my whole October that I forgot to write yesterday! That’s not like me during NoJoMo, but it’s the reality of the situation. Hold on a sec…I have to send...

Nov. 2: The Game

It’s been a busy-ish day with the girls. We slept in a little bit this morning, I made coffee and put out some sweets, and then told the girls to make themselves at home while I took the dog o...

Nov. 1: NJM 2024 Begins

Well, this is going to be a quickie entry. It’s Friday night, November 1st and I’m in the middle of a fun girls weekend here at my place. My friends flew in from Nashville last night (Hallow...
