Porter's reprise

Happiest I've been in so long. Back at Porter's with my girls and former students-turned-friends. Love it!

feng shui fun day :)

So, on more or less of a spur of the moment idea, I decided to feng shui my room. Which meant a little jaunt to Home Goods, now my new favorite place on the planet. My lovely roommate, Mads, helped me spend my money.

Lots of good finds! Including a new bedspread, pillows, bedside table, wall decor, etc. Of course I had to sweep the floor in my room (much overdue) first. That was less than enjoyable, but at least I only came across one dead insect! Now the room is more open and spacious, and now I want to go all out and put more fun things in it!

making some changes

In an attempt to be a better me :)

I'm going to find fulfillment and success in whatever I do. I will be the best me I can be. I will put my best foot forward and prove myself. It took a harsh reality for me to start this, but this is good for me. And then I will try to start over and, as Tim Gunn would say, "make it work!" Looking forward to presenting the new me in hopefully a month! 

hiatus hangover

Apologies to whoever actually reads this blog for going on hiatus for almost a month. I've been working with some friends over at Tell Me I'm Wrong, but I shouldn't have neglected the bizarro blog project on my end. Nothing much is new, just a lot of:

reading (These Girls, The Little Women Letters, etc.) and

working out (I'm trying to look like a superhero, apparently) and

online shopping (which is probably unhealthy except for the fact that I'm buying from Amazon and GNC, so I make get a reprieve from the gods of frugal spending)

and that's all I've gotta say about that...
