364 days ago, I was putting the finishing touches on my blog layout. I was nervously composing my first post, and thinking about all the things I hoped that my blog might become. I fantasized about things that seemed nearly impossible at the time, like getting 5 comments on a post, and maybe making a [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

It was snowy and I was colder than I’d ever been as we drove home, across the Midwestern flatlands, from ringing in the new year. [...]
On Friday, I shared the joys of my Christmas with Andrew. I was so touched by his sweetness, particularly when it came to the ring. The fact that he managed to surprise me, to go to the trouble of ordering it special, to be so sweet and considerate meant the world to me.
The questions started. [...]
My first full-time job after college was working at an art center for developmentally disabled adults. These adults were people who had disabilities ranging from seizure disorder to mental retardation to autism. It was my first time teaching, and I got to teach everything from life skills like budgeting and hygiene to creative writing to [...]
The only thing that could make my whole gym experience better would be the addition of a built-in, every single time, workout partner. And yesterday, I got it. Yes, my sweet, adorable, hottie of a boyfriend joined Fitness MD with me…so we’ll now be workin’ it out together. This is good for [...]
