I did something odd a couple of weeks ago: I wrote a letter. On a sheet of stationary. Crazy, I know. And then I did something ever crazier: I never mailed it. I folded it up and it’s currently holding my place in a magazine I’m reading. This wasn’t quite what I imagined when I […]
I’ve been tagged!
My very good friend and fellow blogger, Emily Kate DC, recently tagged me in a Blog on Fire Post. What the heck is that you ask? Well, here’s how it works: 1. I post 11 random things about myself. 2. I answer the questions my tagger, Emily, set for me in her post. 3. I […]
Rollin’ with the curveballs
When you were 16 years old, where did you think you’d be at age 25? At age 30? When I was younger, I kept a journal and sometimes very rarely, I like to go back and read what I wrote. There is one particular entry that always gives me pause. I was 19 and a sophomore […]
#17 Make something and display it, pt. 2
I made a couch! Okay, okay, I didn’t make it completely from scratch, but I definitely constructed a loveseat that I am currently sitting on as I write this. And guess what? It’s comfy! You might be wondered why I decided to construct a loveseat. Welllll, as much as I love my new apartment, there […]
Reunion (an ode to Charlottesville)
This May will find me (and loads of my friends and classmates) returning to Charlottesville for our five year law school reunion. Just typing that sentence made me stop and pause. Wow. 5 years! How is that possible? It honestly feels like it was just the other day that I was rehearsing for the libel […]
# 2 Run a Half Marathon, pt. 3
I’m about a month in to my half marathon training and I’m pretty pleased with how it’s going so far. The last few days have been brutally cold/windy/icy/terrible out and so I’ve missed a couple runs, but I’m proud to say that even with the weather, I’ve only missed two scheduled runs all month long! […]
#17 make something and display it or give it as a gift, pt. 1
I made an earring!!! And I hemmed a dress!! This totally qualifies as news-worthy and shocking enough for two posts in one day! If you know me (or have seen me decorate cookies, ahem), you know that I’m not the most handy with glitter, glue, things with needles, etc. I have a lot of great […]
Livin’ life according to your own beat…
I’ve just realized another thing that I left off of THE List. I did not include anything about going to more concerts, discovering more cool artists or anything music related. I’m not sure how I missed out on that since I love music. I’m the girl who is always listening to something. I’m the one […]
Things missing from THE List, pt. 2
I previously discussed why THE List doesn’t contain any mention of romantic relationships. THE List also doesn’t mention any of my professional goals. That is not because I don’t have professional goals – I actually have quite a few. The reason they are not reflected in my list of 30 is two part. First, those goals […]
Great books?
If you know me, you know that I LOVE to read. I’ve always loved to read. I was the kid who snuck a flashnight under her covers to stay up reading Nancy Drew books. I was the kid who wouldn’t stop bringing BSC (Baby Sitter’s Club – don’t act like you don’t know!) books to […]
