I’ve often said that my personality type is somewhat of an “extroverted introvert.” I need a balance between social interaction and being a total hermit. In my early 20′s, I often found myself out a lot—if friends were doing anything, they knew I’d be there in a heartbeat. I’d continue my pattern of late nights and social engagements until I was sick, exhausted or completely depleted of any energy for

February 15th, 2010 How was your weekend? Mine was lovely, thanks. It’s still going on, actually…I don’t return to work ’til tomorrow, something that makes me unreasonably happy. I plan to do nothing today, since the first two days of my weekend were a bit busy. On Saturday, Leslie and I decided to venture downtown for brunch and a movie. Maybe you remember this little gem of a video. So, a good portion February 12th, 2010 The Good: It’s Friday, and I’m off Monday. Yessssss. My little brother turns 22 today! Happy Birthday, Kyle! Even though I know you’re def not reading my blog. I got to snuggle my good friend Jody’s new baby this week, and holy cow…I’m in love. She was barely two weeks old and just so precious and tiny and adorable. It didn’t help my baby fever, not even a little. I February 11th, 2010 I have a confession. I’m sleeping with someone I haven’t told you about. It’s been going on for a long time. My whole life, basically.
That, my friends, is Pink Bear. Pinky, to me. Pink Bear was once a baby pink, fluffy bear. He was given to me by my great grandparents when I was born. We’ve basically been inseparable since then. I February 10th, 2010 Yesterday, I mentioned something in my blog about getting three favorite magazines in the mail. Well, actually, I mentioned a lot of whiney things and you all were sweet enough to indulge me. THANK YOU. Anyways, Linda asked me what those three magazines were, and it struck me: I have never really shared with you guys that I am an absolute magazine FANATIC. I love them. If I am having February 9th, 2010 Yesterday was one of those Awful Days. I had been planning all week to give a Very Big Exam to my students, yet failed to you know, WRITE IT last week. I’d done the vocabulary section and the long answer section, but had also promised a multiple choice section which I had NO DESIRE to write last Thursday because all I could think about was my three-day weekend. Late last February 8th, 2010 {photo via weheartit} The dreaded Valentine’s day week is upon us. I have a confession to make: I freaking love Valentine’s Day. Weird? Maybe. I love the pink and red (my two favorite colors, especially together!) that spill out all over stores. I love all of the cute cards and fun stuff. I love the idea of love—of a day dedicated to telling those you care about that you February 6th, 2010 When I turned 26 this past April, I set a goal that scared the hell out of me: go to the dentist. Sure, you can judge me, but it’d been a few years. Literally—and my parents will attest to this—the mere mention of going to the dentist could give me a stressy rash. I would get red, break out into mini-hives and tear up at the thought of sitting in February 5th, 2010 I’ve been spending some of my free time hitting up Bikram yoga lately, something I absolutely love. Not only does it absolutely challenge every pore, cell and muscle in my body, it makes me think and grow and change inside. There are others who put these changes more eloquently than I do, but since yoga is rapidly becoming a bigger part of my life, I thought I’d share a few of February 4th, 2010 photo from O magazine… I love that first cup of coffee in the morning, with a touch of vanilla creamer. I love waking up from a really good dream and feeling happy. I love hearing my phone beep and getting a text or email from someone I hold dear. I love eating something sinfully delicious: a cupcake, good chocolate, cheesy pasta…yummy. I love my polka dotted Nalgene bottle. I |
