I was talking to my dad about my blog yesterday and he mentioned that he has been somewhat surprised that I don’t talk more about some of the questions I’m dealing with (re: growing up and figuring out my purpose as a working adult.) I know I’ve been bad about blogging directly about the act of ‘taking back my twenties’, but to be honest with you, it’s because I don’t feel like I’ve made a whole lot of progress (at…

Hi guys. Long time no talk. So I’ve been in kind of a rut this week. I’m not sure it is the post-Christmas blues, the rainy days, or the fact that I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, but my mind has been wondering this week. I’ve learned that one of the best cures for these kinds of moods is a good exercise session and a fashion magazine (because shopping can be dangerous in these times).…
Yo friends. The first day back was a success. I kind of liked feeling productive again. I got reacquainted with the stair climber after work and then took a brisk walk with Matt to run a few errands. Since Matt had the day off, he cooked dinner tonight…what a treat! He made lemon + pepper pasta with shrimp (inspired by this recipe from cooking light). It was perfect:) On to resolutions. To be honest, I’m not that into resolutions. The…
On this day, a quarter of a century ago, I entered the world as the [strange-looking] daughter of Barbara and Cliff. Don’t worry, I grew out of those cheeks (well, kind of). Check out our dresses and the autumn leaves in the background…no wonder we are so fond of fall. And maybe this explains my love of classic plaids? I pretty much look the same today as I did back then, no? Now that I’m working, having a Monday birthday…
…has been spent with Matt (well, as of my birthday next week). Today is our fifth anniversary! We met my sophomore year in college and gradually started dating. Since we don’t have one specific day when anything became official, we just celebrate on October 12th because it was the first night we spent time together, chatting on the porch of a fraternity on a typical Wednesday night. Matt had long hair when I met him, so I thought he was…
There seems to be a lot of talk about the New York Times article about 20-somethings (thanks to those who shared it with me!). Since I’m a 20-something myself, I thought I would use this post to comment on the article. Check it out here. If you haven’t read it, it’s basically about how 20-year-olds in this day and age are taking longer to reach adulthood (if you can even define adulthood) because many of them are using their twenties…
I’ve had a delightful day thus far. The weather is gorgeous and I’ve had time to work, relax, exercise, and be outdoors — I love days where I can fit everything in without feeling rushed. The only thing missing is a beer and time with friends, which are both on the agenda for this evening. Got to savor these last days of summer, right? I fit in some time on the stair climber this morning and then ate a yogurt…
