Because I’ve been stuck inside battling a wretched cold, Tony bought me daffodils to brighten my day. It’s a little spring right in my living room. Best $2.99 we ever spent.

Tomorrow afternoon, we set sail for a four-day cruise to the Bahamas. I so need some sunshine and relaxation. Taking time off from my day job was easy. Unfortunately, taking time off from my own to-do list, worries, and work isn’t so easy. It’s been months since we took real time off to relax, and [...]

We spend our weekends at home watching movies instead of drinking at bars with other 25-year-olds. I’m not complaining. This is [...]

You know those dreams where you’re being chased, but you can’t get your feet to move? And when you try to scream, you discover that you can’t? And you know whatever is chasing you is coming, but no matter how much you will yourself to just keep moving, your body and your mind just won’t [...]

One year ago today, I vowed to get back in shape for the New Year by committing to a one-year gym membership for $20 a month. At the time, I was hesitant. It’s so common for people to join a gym, give up within a couple months, and end up stuck with a monthly bill [...]
