In Which Our Heroine Gets Her Happily Ever After (But It's Only The Beginning!)
So, as I'm sure pretty much all of you have seen by now - 2016 is going to be a VERY intense year in Ashleyland! Let's recap for posterity, in reverse chronological order:
* Wedding Bells!
( Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime! ) -
In which our heroine takes part in a very silly and very fun Thrift Shop challenge!
I'm going to take a break from posting about sad, tension-filled thoughts in my head, and totally dork out for a few minutes. Enjoy ( Read more... ) -
In which our heroine muses pensively and posts about posting in a really meta way.
Good freaking lord. I have things to say, and this place to do it, and I just don't as often for some reason. I blame time constraints and the internet (easily distracted...damn you, cracked.com!). How IS it that as I've gotten older there are seemingly less hours in the day? Although I guess when you factor in an 8-hour workday, plus a 1-hour ( Read more... ) -
In which our heorine realizes she needs a pintervention!
As things are settling down around the house (with the roommate) and my finances (especially after next weeks' homeowner's insurance payment), I can finally start to relax and really get back to the things I enjoy. And Christmas is just around the freaking corner! Since I've got oodles of time in my day, and I finally got Pinterest working for me ( Read more... ) -
In which our heroine decides that a cold shower or five is a good lesson in being an adult.
I've been meaning to post for weeks. But then, I always say that, don't I? However, I think I'll be able to keep up with slightly more regular posting thanks to my easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy job at BlackRockTechnically, it's a temp-to-hire - but since most of the "Corporate Services" staff (basically the reception/facilities management people like ( Read more... ) -
In which our heroine provides an exhaustive update on life and love while unemployed.
Hello, long-overdue-post ahead. But it's a Friday night, the first I've had to myself in a while, and I'm typing this on a laptop from my couch (a first for me) and drinking a fuckton of "Jammy" wine (not necessarily a first for me). So, LAZY! But taking a break from hyper-organization and/or knitting ( Read more... ) -
In which our heroine lives with hope and faith, and stops being such a doormat.
[sidenote: you may (or may not...) have noticed that I've changed the subject lines of my posts. I've decided to give the song-lyrics a rest, and have started essentially narrating the "chapters" of my life, as it were. So, there's that :P]
Work:
My last day at McK was March 30, and I'm so glad for it to be over.
( Stick a fork in me! ) -
In which our heroine daydreams about becoming a bird of paradise and flying far, far away.
As most of you know, if you've heard me ramble on about inspirational people at any point in the last year, I'm a really devoted reader of the Young House Love blog. Week before last, they took a much-deserved break and jaunted off to Hawaii for 6 days.
I don't know if there are words enough to express how much their post makes me want to go ( Read more... ) -
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
Out of curiosity, since I'm trying to find jobs that will "fit" me, I've taken an online Myers-Briggs test. My results show that I am an ENFP (extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceptive), which sounds just about right! I knew I'd rank as an extrovert, but good to know on the other stuff. Keirsey classifies this as "The Champion", and his ( Read more... )
