I have a question. Do you tip at coffee shops? I personally do not actually frequent coffee shops very often, as I do not drink coffee. I drink plain black tea, and it’s hard for me to stomach paying like $4.00 for a tea bag in a cup of hot water. So I go to… Continue reading Tipping

Chipping away
In October I posted about a planning challenge, where I was trying to figure out how to organize and track many upcoming tasks for this holiday season. In that post, I outlined my idea to create a couple of new lists in Google Tasks (namely a November and December list), in addition to my usual… Continue reading Chipping away
Vacation mode
Charlie, at 7:16 a.m. I was heading out of the shower (I was up by 5:30 even on my day off… what can I say) and Ivan was heading into the shower. Charlie thought we were all crazy and settled into my spot to keep sleeping, trying to ignore the lamp Ivan had turned on.… Continue reading Vacation mode
A day!
Ugh, I had a DAY today. Started full of promise: And I ended up feeling like this guy: Ha! A wooden Christmas decoration in my basement that apparently Charlie knocked over… and where did the fuzzy stuff come from?? 🤔 who knows. Not really worth delving into- was some work stuff. Anyway, let’s look on… Continue reading A day!
Late post!
Can't break my NaBloPoMo streak!! Day 12 today. It's 9 pm and we just recently got home from Asher's high school swim team parent/athlete meeting. It was from 7-8:30. There's a brand new head coach, who we met tonight and seems very nice (pretty young/ casual in his hoodie...ha. Probably will be very popular with… Continue reading Late post!
Happy Friday!
I knew on Monday that the end of this week was gonna kind of kick my butt, mostly due to an imbalance of meetings, etc on the back half. Fortunately, it wasn't actually as bad as it would have been, due to a couple of handy cancellations. 🎉🎉 I kind of lost any good blogging… Continue reading Happy Friday!
Thursday updates
I was going to title this "Asher Updates" but figured he might not like to have his name in the TITLE. haha. But, these updates are all related to Asher. Volleyball Banquet On Monday night we went to his end-of-season volleyball banquet at school. They had nets up in the gym, so all the boys… Continue reading Thursday updates
2024 Goals update
This has not been the year of my "annual goals". Honestly I can't even remember if I shared my list. I may not have, in part because the last few years, I've made lofty lists and then more or less forget about them. Not to say I haven't done a lot of things! But I… Continue reading 2024 Goals update
It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
I finally cleaned my office yesterday. I aim to do this monthly, but it gets away from me sometimes. It's not a large chore, but you know how it goes. It's important, though, because as things pile up and it literally starts to get dusty, I obviously just don't feel my most centered and professional!… Continue reading It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
