Let me preface this post by saying that we are making good, discernible progress on the unpacking front. That being said, I am being challenged daily with considerations about what should go where. I don’t think any of these issues are specific to this house. Any time one moves from one space to another, these types …

Time Keeps on Slipping
My week with my niecelettes has gone by much too quickly. Although I feel like I have just arrived, there is also a piece of me that is ready to go home. I just wish I didn’t live to far away from them so I could see them more often. A friend of mine recently …
And Thus Ends the Wedding Season
Once again I am hitting crunch time before a trip east. I wrote up a to do list this morning and it freaked me out. I decided to give my brain some time to absorb the magnitude of my workload by writing a post. It is a distraction tactic I have used before and it …
Please Accept my Apologies
Yom Kippur starts tonight at sundown. At that point, Jews all over the world start a 25-hour fast (not even water is allowed) and spend the day in both personal and community self-reflection.

Why handwrapped earbuds?
Well, College Humor just listed tangled ear buds as their #5 biggest pet peeve: Go ahead, wrap up your earbuds before you put them in your pocket. It won’t matter. It never matters. As soon as you remove them once again they’ll take five goddamn minutes of untangling before you can use them. Whisper it, …
Blogathon
For anyone who followed my previous blog, Wonks R Us, you will know that I find blogging regularly to be quite a challenge. So, why on earth would I sign up for a commitment to blog every day in May? Because I am trying to build a new habit and habits take, on average, 29 …
