Grad school. You take one class at a time and work part-time but never manage to have any free time. I’m blogging from my brand-new computer. I capitalized on a sale at Staples with their very nice trade-in program and bought a $900 for $450 before tax and warranty. I’m done with my practicum hours! I’m going to finish out the semester, but that graduation requirement is almost checked off…. View Post »
Optimizing old blog posts
I switched to WordPress two years ago (when did that happen?), and I find myself rarely looking at my old posts. To be honest, I’m a bad blogger. I don’t care about SEO, I’m no good posting on a regular schedule, and I tend to not take pictures on the rare occasion I do things.

They talk about their kids. Most times, I zone out or wonder away, but I realize that their kids have a surprising amount in common with my cats. Middle of the night wake… View Post »
Living the allergy shot life
Each allergy plan is unique to that person, so be sure to talk to your doctor about what’s best for you. I’m sharing my allergy shot tale for others who may be looking for more personal experiences. This is not medical advice. You could say I’m wildly allergic to the state of Colorado. One weird perk of having lived someplace before is that you know what life there can be… View Post »
That time I bought a vest at Sam’s Club
It started off like a normal trip to Sam’s Club. I grabbed a cart, flashed my membership card, and strolled in the store. I rounded the first left turn to head back to the home cleaning supplies aisle (and tried my best to avoid the book section). Whilst avoiding the books, I saw the vests. A rack / table of cute, fall-toned, puffy vests. The black and white checked pattern… View Post »
