  • 2017-03-05 Saint Louis – Day 4, Part 1

    It’s really already the 6th but like the rest of the weekend, it’s the day after and I’m just now getting to write about it. My last day in Saint Louis was long and again, full of memorable moments. It was quite overcast and chilly which was very much a contrast from the sunny 71…

  • 2017-03-04 Saint Louis – Day 3

    Tennis Anyone? Yesterday the high was 71 and the sun was smiling down on Saint Louis all day. We only lounged for a little bit in the AM so as not to waste any part of the day and shortly after 9:30 we were off. The park we went to was Whitecliff park which is…

  • 2017-03-03 Saint Louis – Day 2

    Today was once again full of feels. Different than the day before, but still satisfying. I had to work again, but balanced my time out well so that I could enjoy the bright sunshine in the early afternoon when it was at it’s peak. We walked the trail as it was, once again, too cold…

  • 2017-03-03 Saint Louis – Day 1

    My last blog post was about the first half of my first day in Saint Louis yesterday but there is, of course, more to the story. Not only did I have a fantastic Cheeseburger but I also had fun the rest of the day just letting whatever happens happen… Late afternoon it was too cold…

  • 2017-03-03 When the Universe Smiles at You.. 4

    There was no set plan for the day yesterday, but everything seemed to happen exactly as it was meant to… and it could not have worked out better. I worked most of the morning from a standing desk in Ademir’s basement and had a very intense set of calls. I faced issue after issue, and…

  • 2017-03-02 Miss SugarCookie Live from Saint Louis

    Yesterday after work I jumped in the car and drove to Saint Louis because.. why not. 😃 I’ll be working from here for the next couple of days and then on my off hours seeing everything and eating everything I possibly can until I leave on Sunday. It’s one of the perks of being able…

  • 2017-02-28 The Struggle

    I’m constantly putting myself and my life under a microscope. Then the pendulum swings and I’m 10,000 feet above myself and wondering “Why am I here and what is the purpose of it all?” I eat too much because I enjoy the taste of the food and it brings me satisfaction but then I’m unhappy…

  • 2017-02-26 Sushi Sunday + Sister Time = Winning

    The day today started out pretty good despite waking up with a nasty headache and skipping Jazzercise because of that. I took some meds and elected to stay in bed. I worked a little bit on my main blog and the organization of some of the pages and content. Later in the AM I made…

  • 2017-02-25 Rose Buddies Anyone?

    I’m just hanging out tonight for a little bit with my sister’s dog, Odin. Her husband is out of town on a ski trip with his family and she couldn’t go because of work but that left the puppy home alone for too long. I’m happy to come take care of this pup because he’s…

  • 2017-02-25 Welcome to the Weekend

    It has definitely been an interesting week. Between turning down job offers and meeting up with my ex for “The Return of the Ring”, I’ve had my fair share of drama. I’m definitely looking forward to some “me” time this weekend. There are only a couple things I am putting on the “todo” list for this…

  • 2017-02-22 The Return of the Ring

    It’s kinda like the “Return of the King”, but with a lot less action, adventure, and comedic outtakes from from sassy elves and sarcastic dwarves. Yesterday I experienced the end of the saga that has been weighing on me like the “One Ring” on Frodo for the better part of the last 6 months of…

  • 2017-02-21 Timing Is Everything

    If you would have told me a year ago I would be turning down a job offer today I would not have believed you but that is exactly what has happened. A year ago in February I wrote about how I had come to the end of a lot of what I could stand in…
