I am a bad role model
I often think of reasons why I would not like to have children but the other day I started to realize reasons why I would be a terrible role model for my children (well, more likely I would just change my behaviors if I had children but still)...These are some of the things that I do now in my single life that I probably wouldn't want my children ( Read more... ) -
The Big Bra Rant
Ok. So, many of you have heard this rant in real life, but I thought why not rant it in public for all the world to see? Because my ranting has slowly turned into a crusade; my personal frustration has turned into an obsession for better awareness ( Read more... ) -
Kids!
I was sitting in the Hilltop Coffee Shop with Charles this evening and I was looking at one of the paintings on the wall. I liked it and told Charles that it reminded me of the drawings kids do with the trees with no real branches (just a brown line with a green circle on top) and the sun with the lines coming out of it.

Books, Books
I was updating my "things I want to do this year" list and was very happy to be able to check off "Finish Howards End." Happy, not because I am glad to be through with it, but because I loved it so much. It's been a while since I really enjoyed a novel in this way, and it was refreshing to know I still had it in me.

Listing things
I love lists; it's true. Instead of making New Year's Resolutions, my roommate last year gave me the idea to just make a list of 100 things you want to do in the next year. They don't have to be resolutions or big things; the little things are what makes life fun, right?
Ok, so here are some things...I'm not sure I'll get to 100...

A year has gone by; A decade has gone by
Thank God I don't have to say "Two Thousand and blah blah blah" anymore. I gladly welcome the era of "Twenty-_____." So, welcome TwentyTen, welcome :)
But what would moving into a new year or a new decade be without a bit of retrospection?
So, first, 2009...this is what I remember from you:
January I visited my aunt and uncle in Albuquerque ( Read more... ) -
Oh ChristmasTime
Sometimes preparing for Christmas is more fun than Christmas, itself. Of course I say this as some one who does not have to host guests, cook full meals, or buy presents for children. However, as a twenty-something student, preparing for Christmas means, wrapping a few gifts, decorating my rubber tree plant, and making things from scratch ( Read more... )
