While I was eating a salad at my desk yesterday afternoon, I read this article called Why You Need a Humor Audit: the Benefits of Laughter. I like humor and I really do love to laugh, so it was intriguing to me. Two "humor experts" are interviewed for the article, and the main premise is… Continue reading Laugh it up!
Whatever Wednesday
I have no real topic in mind to write about today, so how about a little of this and a little of that? COVID I feel like I used to talk about covid all the time on the blog, back in the spring. Now, I guess it's old news. Ha. It is exciting that it… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
Brrr
I slept in a little today. 🙂 Actually, my alarm went off at 5:30 as usual but I just kind of lay there in the dark for a little bit, awake. When I finally shut off the snooze button, I was greeted with this lovely message. Yay for....clear conditions? Ha. I can't really cheer for… Continue reading Brrr
Weekend Break
Hi! I'm back. I took a little BREAK for a few days from everything- and I mean all of my usual "stuff". Asher had a swim meet in the city my parents live in, so he and I left early Saturday morning and stayed there all weekend. I ended up completely checking out from everything… Continue reading Weekend Break
Happy file + Friday funnies
I keep a folder in my email that I refer to as my "happy file". It's a place where I save things that are either interesting, insightful, funny, or inspirational. Basically anything that I might want to look back on- but not things like, a tax document I need to save. 🙂 It comes in… Continue reading Happy file + Friday funnies
Ethan’s new adventure! +podcast rec
I'm writing about ~40 minutes later than usual this morning, because due to another winter storm (this time involving freezing rain AND snow...oh joy), school is virtual today. The decision was made yesterday afternoon already, which was I guess nice for planning purposes. I'm okay with a slower morning and I begged the boys to… Continue reading Ethan’s new adventure! +podcast rec
A typical Monday
Some days are very average and the even-ness of them can be a welcome thing. Nothing too good or bad happened around here yesterday. It was just an average Monday. 🙂 I felt a little renewed sense of a "fresh start" since it was the first day of a new month. As a result, I… Continue reading A typical Monday
1/12 ✅
And just like that, 1/12 of 2021 is over. Flipped the calendar to FEBRUARY already this morning. January always feels like a kind of long month, though I suppose it is one of the longer ones, technically. It was a nice month, for me. In a way it feels like forever ago that we were… Continue reading 1/12 ✅
Disappointing humanity
Yesterday morning I experienced two back-to-back situations that left me feeling disappointed in humanity. I know there are endless examples of beautiful and amazing humans out there, and I generally prefer to focus on them. But I had a hard time shaking this! Situation #1 Due to the impending snowstorm, I decided to make a… Continue reading Disappointing humanity
Opinion overload
Happy Saturday morning! We are in for another bigger winter storm starting tonight through most of day tomorrow, so we are planning to hunker down later and probably not come out until tomorrow night sometime (if at all). I've heard the weather forecasters all warning that "travel on the roads is not recommended", so we'll… Continue reading Opinion overload
