Love/Hate Relationship

Do you want to know what makes for an explosively cranky evening? There’s quite an exact recipe, really. Let me share it with you:
You take – One part Husband, combined with a handful of crass bar-mates, add three or four big-screen TV’s all turned to the same game, 3-5 beers per bar stool, and shared appetizers [...]

You know you are an adult when…

You get excited about the accomplishment of using every last drop, bite, ounce, piece, slice, niblet, portion, etc. of whatever it is you’ve purchased. Be it soap, shampoo, bread, post-it notes, ink pens, cookies, whatever.
I realized this today when I excitedly emailed Dorian asking him if we could change what we’d planned for dinner to [...]

You are My Candy Girl

This may come as a bit of a shock…but I think there is something wrong with me.
I know, I know. I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.
I’m sure you must all be thinking, “*Gasp* What?! Something is wrong with Kristen? Oh my goodness, that can’t be! She is the most perfect creature [...]

My Ears Feel Itchy

This past weekend, I had, quite possibly the most convenient sickness I’ve ever had in my life!
Last week, I’d noticed that the back of my throat and my ears were hurting. But I mean, last week was a doozy, and I kind of brushed it off as nothing more than my body responding in fatigue [...]

I Love Summer…and I’m Paying for it…

My face? Is on fire!
Our weekend in Grand Haven was absolutely marvelous. But right now? I can’t think of anything other than the fact that I feel like I’ve gone diving face first into THE SUN.
WebMD tells me I’ve got a bit of sun poisoning. Which, really? Sun “Poisoning”, really?! It is really nothing more [...]

It’s Almost Quittin’ Time!

I almost feel bad saying this. But I kind of love that when my boss realizes that I’m leaving a few hours early today, he’s all of a sudden a bit worried and got quite a pile of work for me to do. Maybe this is weird, but it makes me feel good that the [...]

Work and er…Working Out…?

Yesterday, I attended an all day conference for professional women. (I would tell you exactly what the conference was and who hosted it, but I don’t feel like advertising for a company I am a.) not yet sold on and b.) not getting reimbursed to advertise for…because frankly? I would be shameless in allowing advertisements [...]

A Title? There is None…

Well, I’ve been trying to think of a blog post topic since lunch time. My last two posts were a little heavy on the water-works (for real, I cried at least once while writing each of them), so I’d love to prance through a light-hearted post…but nothing that warrants a story has happened in the past [...]

Donut Lovers, Rejoice!

Alright, two things…because ’tis all I have time for today:
Thing, the First! Earlier this morning, at work, I overheard someone explaining to someone else where the calf muscle is. CALF muscle. As in, one of the FIRST muscles you will ever learn about in your body. As in, you’d pretty much have to be completely [...]

And on a Lighter Note?

I am going to attempt to make Lemon Poppyseed muffins again, tonight. And/or Pumpkin Spice muffins. I am not decided on the flavor, but am very much hoping to NOT re-visit the Great Boiling Cleaning Solution Fiasco of 2009.
