Blog Update: Chaotic Mashup Edition

“The best laid plans of mice and (wo)men often go awry.” Which is undoubtedly true in my case, since the plans I’ve made for the last couple of months have exploded into a million, teeny-tiny pieces and burst into a raging inferno of perpetual flame. Nothing has gone as expected, with a series of major…

Distraction

We’ve all been trying to find different ways to distract ourselves during this incredibly stressful time. I think we’re all reaching the point where we might permanently transform into that red square of pure impatience and fury from Inside Out if we watch anymore news or read anymore sad stories. I don’t know about you,…

Smile

Today, I want you to share with me something that makes you SMILE. It could be a song, a quote, a film, a photo, or even a piece of memorabilia. What is the one thing that is guaranteed to put a huge smile on your face? 😀 It may sound silly, but animals with flower…

A Technical Challenge

Every surface in my kitchen is covered in frustration and flour. So you know what that means . . . *jazz hands* Yep, I completely botched two batches of homemade cinnamon rolls last week. I suppose I should have stopped after my first failed endeavor, but what can I say? My sweet tooth was in…

Different

I have never fit in. I’m always out of place or out of sync. I perpetually feel like I’m on the periphery, an outsider peering in. I am an actor, trying my best to seem cool, confident, and put together. Normally shy and introverted, I frequently create alternate versions of myself to feel safe, wanted,…

Homebody

I’m approaching week five of self-isolation, but I haven’t yet caught the boredom bus. I see some screaming, crawling up the walls. But I’m still living comfortably, stuck on the couch. I guess I’ve always been a homebody, being stranded has never really bothered me. Adventure has been achieved by turning the pages of a…

With the blog’s anniversary right around the corner, I thought it might be nice to welcome my new followers with a quick recap of the past ten years. After all, they’ve missed quite a lot. 😀 1. I’ve challenged myself to write a post every…

The Perfect Day

Today was the first day of the year above seventy degrees. A warm, gentle breeze drifted in through the open windows and all you could hear was the birds playing in the trees. It was a day that resembled mid-summer rather than the early days of spring. As soon as I set foot outside, the…

The Florence Pugh Cooking Show

I may be one of the few people on the planet who don’t have an Instagram account. That doesn’t mean I don’t try to keep up with the times, though. I’m hip, I know what’s going on. A few weeks ago, I noticed everyone rushing to Florence Pugh’s Instagram page. They didn’t say what, in…
