I can breathe for the first time…Just kidding. After about a year’s absence I kinda just have to start over here. Here are the major highlights: I started a new job! 🙂 Our dog died. 😦 I restarted and then quit grad school. Again. 😦 I’ve gained about 20 pounds. 😦 One out of four is not great, I realize. But the steady stream of … Continue reading Since You’ve Been Gone
I purchased the finnspace domain name today. Is that what it’s called? I’m just techy enough to be dangerous. Hi again internet. Photo by Arnel Hasanovic on Unsplash Continue reading official
I have an overwhelming list of things to do. So I think I’ll do the completely unnecessary tasks of messing with blog templates, editing photos, and creating websites. If I could get paid for this I’d be golden. Happy Weekend! Photo by Chris Barbalis on Unsplash Continue reading Template Changes Equal Procrastination
I decided to update my long neglected blogroll and it ended up being cut by over half. Many of the old faithful have stopped blogging and their spaces are just hanging out in cyberspace. It makes me sad in a way but I know there are tons of writers out there and when I find others I like, I’ll add them here as appropriate. It … Continue reading Blogroll
First post from iPad app, just to see what the interface and new editor look like. So far, so good. And I should really post more. Test complete. Ciao for now. Continue reading iPad test
Random…Here’s a photo I took of a llama…Or an alpaca…Some sort of camelid anyway. I think he/she is pretty cool…yep, so very random. This blog y’all…I neglect it for long periods of time because I get confused about what to do with it…what I want it to be…how I want to frame things here. And then I think too much, get overwhelmed and ignore it. … Continue reading unsure
I’m not digging this template but I feel like I want a new start on this blogging thing. I want to write more so it’s completely in character for me to procrastinate on actually writing by making my writing space different and pretty. Or at least different. I’m going to have to keep playing with it. I should just suck it up and pay so … Continue reading fresh
I have obviously been neglecting the blog for various reasons but I was feeling froggy tonight and figured it was overdue an update. So let’s do that…. Work: I’ve been at the new gig for almost two months now. That first month was a doozy y’all. I was seriously questioning my decision and it was not a good feeling. I’m happy to report that things … Continue reading about time for an update
Good Morning board: I’m trying something new with kiddo in an attempt to make our mornings go more smoothly. Mornings with her are hit or miss. Sometimes she’s raring to go and cooperative without too much nagging. But on other days she’s a royal pain, to be blunt. Oh sure, I can make her get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, etc and we always make … Continue reading bribery by clothespin and blogging milestones
A friend took this picture of me and told me to post it on my blog. So here you go Liam, you weirdo. You owe me a latte. Heh. Today has been ultra long for some reason. I did get to meet my college roommate from back in the day for lunch. She is uber smart. Like a rocket scientist researcher surgeon professor genius or … Continue reading this post has no title
A friend and someone I admire very much told me the other day that she loves when I blog because it’s like “getting a hug over the internet”. I’m wondering if she may be reading a different blog because this one can get tedious sometimes. But really? Her comment may have made my day. Friends are kinda awesome. You should totally get some if you … Continue reading friends, Jesus + the Burpee catalog, nerdwear, and Frances Ha
My mother and I don’t do phone calls. We email. Because we live in 2013 and actually talking on the phone is icky in this day and time. However, in the past several weeks (dare I say months), we have been slack in even this most convenient and modern means of communicating. So, mom, I know you are reading this because it is the easiest … Continue reading A message to my mom
I’m still around, just busy with various and sundry. I feel like I am not consistent with anything except being inconsistent. Does that count for anything? I’m guessing not. We just returned from our annual family vacation. This time we shook things up a bit and headed to St. George Island, FL instead of our usual Panama City. It was LOVELY. I do think we … Continue reading Hi blog
A dear friend sent this article to me and I wanted to share. I cried and sniffled through it because that’s how I roll. But more than just tear-inducing, I found it to be succinct, powerful, and more than a little refreshing. Finding God in a Little White Pill It occurred to me that I’ve been posting a lot about depression and sadness and yada … Continue reading my next post will be happy, I promise
This blog and I haven’t been on speaking terms for about a month it would seem. Which is kind of nice in a way because it means I’ve been too busy actually living life to take time to write about it. Or, more likely it means that I am lazy. At the moment I am using this space as yet another means of procrastination for … Continue reading i do stuff, i just don’t write about it
3:00 AM seems to be my time. My time to what, I don”t know exactly, just “my time”. I didn’t mean to fall asleep on kiddo’s floor (yet again) but here I am. Eating Honey Nut Cheerios from the box and struggling to remember my WordPress password because I don’t log in as much as I used to. I remembered it, obs. And dang, I … Continue reading too much
I haven’t posted here in a while but I will get back to it soon, really. In the meantime, I’ve been posting a lot over here. I started a running/fitness/health blog and am using it to discuss all things healthy (or not so healthy). Not to say there won’t be some crossover but you get the idea. So go checkout Capricious Runner for all things … Continue reading Compartmentalizing a bit
Poor neglected blog. Continue reading nigh a month
when i give up writing a post because i can’t think of a title. i hate that. like today, i had a blog post in my brain and i said to myself “i’m going to post about that later”. i sit down at the computer and stare at the blank title bar for so long that i forget what my original post was going to be … Continue reading you know what i hate?
As with most things, I go through cycles with this blogging thing. I don’t think I’ll ever delete this space on the interwebs but I’m over feeling guilty for not appearing here every couple of days or trying to define what category this place fits into. It is whatever I want it to be, everything or nothing, doesn’t matter. Right this second, I’m going to … Continue reading blogging is weird

So I have a Droid Incredible, which I love a bit too much. But what I do not love is WordPress’s app. I am not sure if it’s user error (more than possible) or what the deal is, but I have never been able to get it to work. I download every update, can write posts, save them as drafts, etc. But dang if I can … Continue reading tap tap tap, is this thing on?
I updated my blogroll last night. I was kinda wowed and bummed at how many were defunct or had no new posts in months. Has Twitter killed the Blogger? Maybe its heading that way. With Facebook’s help of course. I know there are a gazillion blogs out there, but in my little circle of blogger buddies, the crowd seems to be thinning. It’s just an observation … Continue reading where have all the bloggers gone?
(I found this post in my Drafts and am publishing it now, after adding to.) Sometimes I just want to peer over my glasses at people and give them the evil eye for acting inconsiderate, or closed minded, or selfish, or just plain stupid. And sometimes I do just that, under the guise of looking intelligent. But the truth is, if I ever do that peering thing at you, … Continue reading this was a draft but now its not
