June 21st, 2011 in 20something, AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, here is my heart, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, note on a non-scandal, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., seriously, Slyvia Path has nothing on me, thank you Eleni, the world according to me, when i say it anyway Let’s just start out by saying this. I’m not 100% percent bitter, only about 83%. And not at all moms. Just 31% of them. But a title called “Why I’m 83% Bitter at 31% of Moms” gave my math phobic self severe heart palpitations.
One of my favourite bloggers once said “everyone has something”, a statement referring to the idea that each person is going through their own battle- a notion that has really hit home with me in the last few months. Bloggers with children are no exception. I read a lot of blogs of women in their 30′s and …READ MORE
May 23rd, 2011 in adventure, because US health care makes me sad, friends, hello universe? I love you, i like scotch & table dancing, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, i went to vegas and drank a lot, i went to vegas and saw many tigers, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it happened this week, it was a dance dance revolution, life lesson, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., quote of the day, sometimes you just have to leap, the less i worry the happier i am There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
January 29th, 2011 in and now you might know everything, because US health care makes me sad, brookem is awesome!, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, here is my heart, i may write about the west wing forever, it makes sense to me, it's a long one (twss), it's okay- you can skim this one, love harder, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., quote of the day, right on my sleeve, sad, self improvement, when i say it anyway, who needs a self help book? Obviously I’m lacking in my usual wit when that is what I can come up with for a title to this post after 34 minutes of hard, squinty-eyed staring at my computer while listening to my go to source of inspiration (*Taylor Swift on repeat).
It’s been a day. It’s been a week. Hell, it’s been a last 12 months. Yesterday started out great then turned into one of the hardest days in my entire life. It involved breaking points, furious texting and confirmation that insurance companies are douchebags. That makes me sound insensitive but I assure you- that’s not …READ MORE
It’s Tuesday right now.
Of course, you are reading this on a Wednesday. Or, if you are like me (and hate google reader), you are reading this 2 months from now on a lovely March day while preparing your liver for St. Patricks Day and stomach assaulting *Irish carbombs.
Either way. I’m writing this yesterday. (That sentence makes little sense but also blew my mind.)
So, the reason why I’m writing this a day before and using the romantic ability to plan a later publish date is on the day you read this I’m going to be in the hospital. …READ MORE
August 11th, 2010 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, adventure, Doing my part to help the economy, find the dorkiest sentence in this, happiness, harry potter, hello universe? I love you, i wrote this just for the picture, it's a long one (twss), it's okay- you can skim this one, let's not talk about how long this took, let's still be friends?, overwhelmed doesn't even begin... Let me start with this: when I heard that there was going to be a HARRY POTTER WORLD opening up in Florida, the only question in my head was when I would be going, not if it was reasonable for a 28 year old to round up her friends and trek to the tip of another country to partake in a magical world, based on books for pre-teens.
In short, I’m a fan.
But not like, a crazy one. I don’t have Harry’s name tattooed on my body.
Yet.
So. There was a lot of people. It was like… visiting …READ MORE
February 7th, 2010 in AHHHHHHHHHHH!, because I can't do report cards 24/7, competition makes me crazy, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, happiness, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i have a football tag, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it makes sense to me, lists, love harder, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., so sappy it hurts One of the best reasons to have a blog (other than the free swag- I’m STILL WAITING FOR GAP TO START THROWING PARTIES FOR CANADIAN BLOGGERS- I’M JUST SAYING), is that it’s easy to see what you were doing one week ago, or one month ago or one year ago. You can simply just click in the archives and you will find your past feelings and thoughts and anecdotes perfectly preserved. You can hit a particular month and find out what was breaking your heart, how drunk you got on cheap wine at your friends party, what social causes were …READ MORE
January 14th, 2010 in and now you might know everything, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, here is my heart, hey it's Friday! let's say something nice, it makes sense to me, learning, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., so sappy it hurts, something I won't forget, the one that nobody reads because of the title, thinking, today i am not funny, when i say it anyway I was thinking tonight about how I don’t know how to swim. I’ve always felt like this was a handicap, something that prevented me from living a life of glamorous weekend getaways, cuddling with Phelps abs (not his face, just his abs), fully appreciating the cuteness that is showcased every spring in the swimwear section of J.Crew. I’ve always seen it as a horrible flaw- yet one I’m too scared to overcome.
I’ve never experienced cancer like I am right now. I’ve never had a family member or friend get diagnosed, I’ve never felt engulfed like I do now. Submerged …READ MORE
December 30th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, hello universe? I love you, here is my heart, it happened this week, life lesson, love or something like it, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., people i like, seriously, something I won't forget, the last line is my favourite, this one is about you I know people who don’t understand blogging. Some of them, happen to be my favourite people in the world. Sure, they get the idea of sharing your thoughts, but many of my dearest and closest friends struggle to understand what a blogging community is and why it’s something I adore. I mention blogging or 20sb in casual conversations and I can see them trying to fully grasp the importance of this world to me but I know the connection hasn’t been made.
To be fair, I’ve never been really good at explaining why I do adore the community and the …READ MORE

How excited you would be when you got your first comment, when you saw your name on someone’s blogroll, when you plucked out a handful of words from the vast English language to make sentence you were proud to write. A sentence that you would re-read because you loved it so much, a sentence that would ring in your head and roll off your tongue like poetry. No, they didn’t tell you that.
They didn’t tell you about the community. My word, the community. The people you would meet, the friends …READ MORE

It was a thousand shades of beige with ripped construction paper and borders that didn’t quite meet around bulletin boards. It had dirty walls, smeared windows and it smelled like my grandmother’s basement. It had torn posters haphazardly dangling from the last cold remnants of sticky tack, a small collection of tattered books housed in a dirty plastic bin and 10 lonely desks stood in the center of the room.
I look around now. I have brightly colored material stretched over …READ MORE
