Repost: The Bird
Since I think we’re all in the mood for a good laugh, and ironically my sister and I were just talking about this, I thought I’d reshare this post from March of 2015. It was a “throwback” story even then, but I think it still holds up as one of the more entertaining days in Continue reading

My Best Day in February
Right now, Thursdays are my favorite day (aside from Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, I suppose.) Thursdays I get to go in late to work because I exercise in the mornings, filling my endorphins cup early. I count down throughout the week, thinking, only x more sleeps until I wake up on Thursday.

A Poem About Sweatpants
After getting really into poetry in the back half of last year, I decided to take a poetry class as part of my Creative Writing Certificate program for UCLA Extension.

I Catch Myself Caring, A Lot

My Best Day in January
One of my goals for this year is to do monthly reflections, and while I have a series of questions that I can go through, another thing I thought of was to write about my “best day” of the month. Some months are full of good days, some months are full of bad ones. Some Continue reading

It’s a Good Day to be a Duck
This past weekend we grieved the loss but also celebrated the life of my great uncle Ted. Looking around the room at his extended family, as well as the slideshow of pictures that showcased his persistent joy for life, I remembered fondly all of the time I got to spend with him. And having worked Continue reading

A Thanksgiving at Our House
My parents’ T-shaped kitchen counter has two bar stools sidled up to it, and on Thanksgiving they offer VIP seating to the organized chaos of the cooks. They also give perhaps too much access to the assortment of chips, salsa, and M&M’s set out to help bridge the gap between breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner, and Continue reading

I Threw a Tiny Tantrum
It was all fine. It was a good day with no complications. I went to work, I took an evening exercise class, I had endorphins running through my veins as I mixed together spices for a homemade taco seasoning—life. was. good. Then I realized that the ground turkey I planned to brown was still in Continue reading
