This week (or the past 9 days or so) I…
- Got a terrible cold that I’ve been sniffling, sneezing, and coughing my way through. I actually drank two shots of vinegar to try to ward away illness. I get a bit desperate when it comes to not being sick.
- Chair danced. As in danced to bad pop music and grinded (ground?) with a chair. Luckily this was only in the company of my favorite lady friends.
- Watched Moulin Rouge! for the millionth time and I loved it just the same.
- Drank two shots of vinegar in hopes of warding off my cold. By far, one of the most disgusting things I have ever done in my ENTIRE LIFE.
- Bought a bistro table with two stools for my kitchen and now have the most beautiful coffee nook in the whole wide world. No exaggeration.
- Tried my hand at knitting again. I’m still TERRIBLE.
- I french pressed coffee every single morning before work and actually sat down to drink it.
This week I learned…
- That I really like taking care of the people I care about.
- That I am lucky to have friends that like to bring me vintage jackets and nips of whiskey just because or leave me messages just to tell me they miss me.
- My dogs really are the coolest.
- Being sick really just makes the tiniest things in life that much harder.
- Cheap honey is not even comparable to good honey.
This week I confess…
- I accidentally put a ton of shampoo in my hair thinking it was conditioner and was very confused at the result.
- I almost finished the second season of Dawson’s Creek.
- I got tickets to go see a figure skating show and I am ridiculously excited about it.
- I accidentally grabbed the wrong cart while I was shopping and then realized it wasn’t mine after going to a completely different department. My purse was in MY cart.
- Had a Sharpie tattoo on my forearm of a heart that said “Mom” and had an arrow through it.
January, we meet again.

Last week I…
- Got a new hamster that I am co-parenting with my friend Alex. Her name is Josephine Francesca (aka Joey, Jo, JoJo, FrannyJo)
- Talked to my sister on the phone for over an hour and we both giggled a lot
- Played in the snow and took pictures for the first time in years – I love the way the entire town just gets quiet when it snows. And I got to walk down the middle of my street, which is also fun.
- Decided I need to either join the gym to help placate my winter blues – this watching-Netflix-and-being-emo thing needs to stop. And going to the gym will at least get me out of my apartment.
- Went to a dance party at a nice restaurant, that didn’t start until 11 pm, and then danced, danced, danced.
Last week I learned…
- I am a klutz. always bumping into things, dropping things, getting tangled in my own damn purse…when I setup banquets at the hotel, I nearly break something when carrying chairs and tables EVERY DAMN TIME.
- I am incredibly ditzy sometimes. I took the elevator at work and heard music playing and thought, “Oh, when did we get elevator music?” and then heard it again on my return trip. I then asked my boss as I was going to my office, “Did we get elevator music?” And then I promptly realized my iPhone had been playing music in my pocket. Fail.
- Even though I’m not considered by most people to be a “nice girl,” I’m still nice, and I care very much for my friends and family, and I’m trying harder to show that.
Last week I confess…
- I watched hours of Being Human (UK version) on Netflix
- I got teary over Grey’s Anatomy…again.
- I refused to grocery shop and ate pasta most of the week because I didn’t want to walk to the grocery store in the cold.
- I read a lot of old blog posts from late 2010-early 2011 and got sad, then angry, then proud because it really hit me how much my life has changed and how much I have changed

This week I…
- Went to a cafe in Vermont and actually sat down and wrote for a long time
- Celebrated my wife’s 30th birthday with all of my other hens
- Had an amazing dinner with two friends and had a long productive discussion about American culture and physical/verbal violence
- Switched to drinking red wine for the winter
- Finally remembered to buy two new noserings
This week I learned…
- That I have to ignore other peoples’ anger/violence and not let it affect me so deeply; I can’t change people, but I can change my reaction to them
- My sarcasm can be a bit too much sometimes, and I apologize to my friends and hope they know I love them!
- I really, REALLY love cleaning as a recreational activity.
- I’m a bit self-centered and need to be more aware of that
- I am really fortunate to be able to sit at a table with a group of 8 people that I adore
This week I confess…
- I had a complete mental/emotional breakdown on Tuesday
- I spent too much money drinking coffee and eating bagels
- I bid $70 on a vintage typewriter (and luckily didn’t win!)
- For a few minutes, I really missed my old life, but it passed quickly
- I wore my grey winter hat to every social occasion – it’s my new favorite accessory
This is how I dress now…an OOTD (sorta.)

So, yeah, I never remember to take pictures of myself when I dig my outfit. And my digital camera kinda sucks, and it’s timer is wicked sucky, and I’m not very good at using a tripod, so even if I did, I’d be annoyed at the suckage. But the other day I did my first solo-shopping adventure (if you were on Twitter on Saturday you probably saw all of my ridiculous panicked tweets followed by my extremely excited tweets when I found Levis for $7.20 at Macy’s) and I hit up Target and BAM dressing room and big mirror. So, being the narcissist that I am, I snapped a few pics of myself.
So, this is more or less how I dress on a daily basis (well, outside of my business wear getup), and I want you to be prepared for these pictures. I don’t really wear dresses or skirts on a non-work basis anymore. And I’ve basically stopped wearing my contacts, except for a couple times a month. And I don’t wear heels. I know, these are some shocking statements, but I felt you all should know that I’m not very fashion forward anymore. There. I said it.

- This OOTD breakdown is hilarious: Hat – TJ Maxx Sweater: TK Maxx in Colchester (it’s like 5 years old) Jeans: Fashion to Figure Boots: I don’t know but they are waterproof! Purse: Target
-
- Bought that shirt, it’s like a cropped batwing shirt with a hood. I got a grey one, too. I’m making them a thing.
