I consider myself a crafty person — in all senses of the word. But recently I was upstaged. Bamboozled. Perplexed. By an iron on elephant. A friend of mine, Sierra, commended offhandedly that she would love to have an elephant. (I believe this was after taking her nephews to the circus as she does not…

Tears of Overconfidence
My lunch made me cry. We’re talking, all out –tears streaming down my face, snot escaping from my nose, unable to see through the haze — cry. I saw the sign. It had “HOT” stamped across the box, but my eyes were drawn more to the “Clearance” sticker and thought I’d take a stab at…
Giggling with Gaston
I was awkwardly hit on last week. By a guy who was tall, dark and handsome, with bulging biceps, and long flowing locks. Oh yeah, and he was fictional. Did I fail to mention that? I met Gaston at the Magic Kingdom last week with my friend Nathan. Gaston was fully in character — strutting…
Cheeky, Cheeky
Cheeky, Cheeky Lives up to his name. Cheeky, Cheeky Enjoys Christmas games. Cheeky, Cheeky Hides in tight spaces. Cheeky, Cheeky Moves without traces! Here’s a loving look at Cheeky’s shenanigans this Christmas. Cheeky hangs around, lolligagging. Watching us from up above ( and getting dusty!) He learned about Physics… And then practiced feats…
My ACTUAL Christmas Update :)
Last year I bemoaned the fact that my life is in many ways unchanging. I worked at the same job, lived in the same house, and had my well-worn routines in life. No longer. I have coined 2013 as “the year of adulthood” for me. I find myself repeatedly asking, “What would an adult do?”…
Christmas Update
Santa!
That was the text I just sent. To my 34 year old roommate. Every year in my town, Santa cruises through neighborhoods mounted atop a bedazzled firetruck. He waves at children who stream out of their houses, shouts “Ho! Ho! Ho!” and throws candy. It’s quite the scene. Here was my experience. I texted my…
One Cheeky Elf
This is my Elf on the Shelf, Cheeky. He’s come out of his eleven month hibernation to play again. So far he’s been pretty tame. Spending time with my roommates and of course, Will Ferrell. Welcome to the Christmas season, Cheeky. Thank you for being yourself and bringing a little glee to a time that…
Mary Poppins
I got a lot of stolen glances on my way into work last Thursday… and not the good kind. People flat out stared, whispered, did double takes, and cocked eye brows. Then the questions started: “Are you the super nanny?” “Are you Canadian?” Or, my personal favorite: “Are you from nutritional services? When will my…
Girl Scout vs. MacGyver
My inner Girl Scout fights with my inner MacGyver every time I travel. Here’s what I mean: I book a flight, pull out luggage, check the weather, make lists, and lay out piles of “necessities” for the trip. Of course I need two pairs of shoes, bug spray, shower shoes, Band-Aids, and two dozen pairs…
