Hiatus-Say-Wha…

Let’s play catch-up, shall we?
It’s really, seriously, honestly, officially Fall. Don’t get me wrong I love Fall– crisp air, apple cider, the color orange. But it just feels too premature. I wasn’t ready to surrender my beach days– relaxed, simple, fun. This year– especially– Fall feels serious. Maybe it’s the wedding I need to start [...]

Hello-oh-oh, anyone there?

Okay…okay…
I know. It has been disgustedly long. I never realized how much of a commitment this blog was– my loyal followers and readers have been waiting patiently for something…anything. And I wish I had some awesome excuse– I left to travel the 7 wonders or I’m busy planning a 14-month-away wedding, but alas I have [...]

Sadie, Sadie, Enagaged Lady

It’s official.
I am…
ENGAGED!
This is weird to write. It’s weird to say. And by weird– I mean  fabulously exciting. It’s surreal. I keep looking down at my hand– admiring the sparkles coming from my beautiful ring. And every time a sparkle catches my eye– I am reminded how lucky I am to have Ryan (was that [...]

Cha-cha-changes. Pardon My Stutter.

I know it’s been forever since my last post (almost 2 months, jeez).  I have no excuse except that I’ve been utterly swamped. Vacations, birthdays– topped off with a ton of work and commitments has me in a first-ever, rapid whirlwind of nonstop “go-go-go.” Taking ten classes a semester was a breeze compared to my [...]

Third Chances…

are for the naive.
I am going to sound super angry– no perhaps bitter is a better word. I’d give anyone a second chance– we all make mistakes, right?  And sometimes all it takes is that second chance for someone to bounce back. But I don’t really believe in a third chance. I say really because [...]

The One, The Only…Miss.Mia

It’s not everyday I have a “woah, holy cow” moment. But I recently realized: I am officially getting *tear* old.
I am not too sure if it was when I opened my closet and saw an Abercrombie & Fitch jacket (thank you Ebay for taking it off my hands) or when I was gawking at some [...]

While Ryan’s Away…

The “L” Word.

Layoff.
Boo. Just to even say the word–layoff– gives me shivers. My heart races, palms sweat. I stutter– become awkward right before your very eyes. It freaks me out. And with today’s economy every other news story and word seems to involve “layoff.” 2,000 people let go today, 30,000 tomorrow. Massive, historical layoffs. It’s becoming an [...]

Bah, Humbug.

Wow. This is kind of awkward– like learning how to put on eye liner for the first or walking into a screen door accidentally. Bare with me, please. Yes– I am back. I took a break. A long break. I don’t know why. I could feed you a million and one excuses but what it [...]

Funk my Funk– Life is too Short.

I’m in a funk. And I have been avoiding this blog like the plague– maybe out of lack of inspiration or maybe just because, I felt like neglecting it. Ha– take that blog. Or maybe I am neglecting me (which just so happens to involve this blog)…
UPDATE: I started this blog on being in a [...]
