Year-end survey
I have done this every year for the past 10 years, so I may as well do it. It’s interesting to read them over on Livejournal to see how I’ve changed through the years: http://ashleigh919.livejournal.com/tag/year-end
1. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?
- I turned 30.
- I moved back to New York voluntarily.
- I lived in a ( Read more... ) -
Annual year-end survey a little late
I thought about this long before the new year, but I wanted to wait, and then I waited and waited, and here we are, but I couldn't break 10 years of tradition...could I ( Read more... ) -
When TV mirrors life
Sometimes, the smallest things can bring clarity...small things being an episode of "How I Met Your Mother."
Ted: I'm in love with you. Why else would I be seeing your face everywhere I look?
Robin: Because you feel bad.
Ted: Of course I feel bad. I told you I love you which is apparently the worst thing you can say to someone.
Robin: That's not why ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes, it hits home.
This story aired on 60 Minutes this past Sunday: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57387845/redshirting-holding-your-child-back-for-the-better/
I say this hits home, not because I was red-shirted, but because we moved to Florida when I was young. I moved from a state with a December 1 cutoff date to a state with a September 1 cutoff date. My ( Read more... ) -

Around the world in 80 days?
Well, while that's not really the case, I just realized how much traveling I've been doing since June. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, a lot of things have changed in my life, but at the same time, due to some very generous people who love me very much, I've been able to keep up with life. Since June, I have traveled on the following trips ( Read more... ) -
Musings
I'm in a bunch of LinkedIn networking groups, and I get e-mails with digests, etc. One of them linked to this blog. I am not at all one of those "blog readers," yet I have a few of my own blogs. Ehh, I've never been one to go with the flow or with everyone else.
Anyway, this really hit home. It's very hard to sit here unemployed. It is not just ( Read more... ) -
How is this news?
I really try to not be rant-y or anything, but some things really get on my nerves. I understand the public's fascination with celebrities' lives, and how that has grown exponentially in the past 10 years, especially after the explosions caused by Facebook and Twitter. I myself will never follow these people's "lives." But I will respect what ( Read more... ) -
Happy 28th birthday to me!
How could I possibly break the tradition of updating my Livejournal on my birthday? I've been busy, some changes are on the horizon, and I'm excited for some things to happen! This year is different, as it is the first time since 2004 that I haven't celebrated my birthday in Boston. But circumstances dictate certain things happening, so c'est la ( Read more... )
