Phew, it's been quite awhile since my last post! I really am sorry about that, but I also don't want to spend too much time apologizing because sometimes life is busy, and you have a buttload of things to do before finishing for the semester (100's of assignments to grade, 60+ hours spent on a … Continue reading Summer Travels
Confessions
Confession: I enjoy the taste of burnt carbs. For this reason pizza is much better, in my opinion, the second time around, so I can heat it up and let it get a little crispy. Confession: I'm technically from the south, but I fit in much better with the northern culture. But really, I think … Continue reading Confessions

Questions: Foreign Language
Let's try to start this up again! This is a series where I ask a question, and you (and I) have to answer it. Have you studied a foreign language? Did you reach fluency, or near fluency? Would you like to continue to study that language, or a different one? I'll start: As soon as … Continue reading Questions: Foreign Language
Spring Blooms
Just wanted to share some photos of flowering trees that have been making my middle of the semester, not-sure-what-the-weather-is-doing days.

I appreciate … Continue reading Spring Blooms
Magic Tidying: How to Follow the Kon-Mari Method (Part I)

Since finishing it and starting the tidying marathon (as she calls it), I still had a few questions about how to make tidying decisions. With a desire for more direction, and simply because I enjoyed reading the book, I downloaded the first book in … Continue reading Magic Tidying: How to Follow the Kon-Mari Method (Part I)

This gorgeous book is named as such because the inside is filled with page after page of tutorials (50 total) for putting together cut flower arrangements. The author is a skilled floral designer who teaches … Continue reading The Flower Workshop
Lately
Fun things I've been thinking about... I've been dreaming about a trip I took last weekend to Nags Head with my college besties. We hadn't all been together in over five years, which is crazy! It was just like old times being back together. We had so much fun and got along just as well … Continue reading Lately
Friday Links
Monica Gellar's and others' apartments. What do you think about this? The generic sofa. I don't see what's so bad about a lot of them. And the ones she recommend look SO uncomfortable. I couldn't stand to get a sofa that only comes up to your lower back. What would be the point of that?! … Continue reading Friday Links
