Hey there!

  • 2018-05-16 Short Slide Into Summer

    It’s Hump-T-Hump day again and were also over the hump of the month of May and now we’re on the downhill slide toward June. I broke down and turned my air conditioning on last night. First time of the season. That’s the measure of how long Spring is in the Midwest… how long you can…

  • 2018-05-15 Where are My Sunnies? 😎

    So I wrote this blog post on Sunday which I realize now I never posted. It was a rant about Mother’s Day. It was kind of a mix of hating on the day for being another one of those made up holidays and an eye roll worthy commentary on my own mother sharing her personal…

  • 2018-05-11 Being Female

    I had two babies. I would not trade the experience I had growing human beings inside of me for anything. It was truly amazing. Just think about it.. Where there was nothing a life grew. They developed and kicked me from the inside and rolled around. Incredible. I have to remember that on days like…

  • 2018-05-10 The Thursday Meetup Monologue

    Late night working last night and back at it again this morning. Makin’ the big bucks this week! I’m Getting a little cardio set in now though. Today I’m supposed to be meeting up with Matt for lunch. He reached out to me on Monday, or maybe it was Sunday, basically to wish C a…

  • 2018-05-09 Wednesday Already?! 😮

    It’s been a few days. Life is good. Work so far this week has been busy and that’s awesome. This morning I’ve got a coffee Meetup with a former co-worker and then I’ll be monitoring a go live all day today and testing for a mid-sprint release of the software. We have another go-live next…

  • 2018-05-06 Let’s Do This Sunday Thing

    It’s Sunday again and that means it’s Status Update time. Today’s theme.. the struggle never ends, but that’s so, so good! Exercise… 13.5K average steps per day this past week. Below average for goal and well below average for my personal lofty expectations. A big part of this is probably the sharp drop-off of my…

  • 2018-05-05 Sometimes I’m Hilarious

    Most of the time, it’s after I’ve had a few glasses of “somethin’ somethin’” and my inner monologue is full of clever things to say. Whenever I’ve had a few glasses of wine with dinner, I start thinking all kinds of really great tweets. Sometimes, I get as far as opening the app and then…

  • 2018-05-04 I Won’t Mention It

    It’s that day again.. but when I said something in the car this morning dropping the kids off at school, my daughter gives me that 👀 look.. kind of like tiny daggers with a slight eye roll at the end. “Mom, that joke is so tired”. Me.. “Maybe it needs a nap.” 😜 Still, nerds…

  • 2019-05-03 Threes and Things I Really Don’t Need

    Today is either.. “Third Time is a charm” OR “Three strikes and you’re out”. I’m talking about donating at the Red Cross. I’ve tried twice before in the last couple weeks and my hemoglobin has been too low. Last time it was by two tenths of a point and that’s sooooo close. I’ve been eating…

  • 2018-05-02 Looking Forward

    Spring is by far my favorite season. It’s like all the wonderful green is finally waking up and stretching the long winter sleep away. I’ve complained about the brevity of spring flowers but I still love to see those presents popping up all over. Last fall I found a steal of a deal on bulbs…

  • 2018-05-01 May Day.. Time for Tacos 🌮

    Unlike Groundhog day, May Day is a tradition that is not talked about as much when it comes around every May first. It’s basically a celebration of Spring and nature, and in some historic cultures it was the day young people were potentially paired with each other for a spring courtship that would end with…

  • 2019-04-29 Sushi Sunday Status Update

    That title? That’s wishful thinking. I’m really hoping to have Sushi today for lunch or dinner. I haven’t had it in a while. Things feel a little off but I guess that’s what happens when your whole life has changed. I haven’t done stats in a while and I know some things are not up…
