I think that it is unbelievable that it's May. May doesn't really have the same punch that it used to a few years ago. There's no end of the school stress to deal with or summer plans to look forward to. Life just keeps moving on as it has the rest of the year. The year has moved at quite a rapid pace ( Read more... )

I've definitely realized that I'm not so great at regularly updating. Heck, I'm not even good at semi-regularly updating. I can maybe claim biannual updates. Whoop ( Read more... )

Let me tell you that Seattle in the summer is absolutely wonderful. Aside from last week when temperatures rose above 100°, it has easily been the easiest summer of my life. I would say that it's been sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky about 93% of the time, maybe higher. We've taken advantage of that for sure. We enjoyed a great Fourth of ( Read more... )

This post will probably be mostly complaining. So that's the warning ( Read more... )

My title also happens to be the title of my beloved bracket for this season of "madness". Ahhh. I am so satisfied during this time of the year. At times I'm tense and anxious as I twist, groan, gasp, and throw up my hands in victory and defeat, but overall, this time of the year is one of my favorites. My bracket has had some injuries and ( Read more... )

Life after college sure is different. I've usually been one who enjoys going out and about a few nights a week and don't care how much sleep I get. Well now I stay in...um...all the time and definitely count the hours of sleep I get, maybe because I have nothing else to do. That's not to say that I'm unhappy.
