Valentine's Day didn't turn out exactly as I'd planned this year, but it was fantastic. And with it falling on a Friday and President's day the following Monday, it was a four day love-fest. Longtime friends know I use the 14th to celebrate my affection for many of the awesome people in my life, not just my SO, and I also use it as a day to show ( Read more... )

Time is going by so quickly. I've been trying to stay active, but it’s a struggle. What I really want to do is go home, turn the heat up to 80, eat nachos, read books, and watch Dance Moms. Shana, Carey and I went to see Macklemore & Ryan Lewis last Monday night at UIC Pavillion, which was fun. The following Friday, I went home with Shana after ( Read more... )

Is anyone else FREAKING OUT that it's mid-August already? I seriously cannot believe it ( Read more... )

In May I got a new challenge at work- I got brought on to a case that was already open and being worked by another member of our team, Jess; it wasn't going well. This was a new level of difficulty and super delicate, because Jess is a clinical therapist and I'm a behavior analyst, so right away we have different approaches. Add to that that Jess ( Read more... )

I may have finally gotten in the headspace and workspace where I can start to post regularly again. Still obsessed with getting knocked up. Heather was kind enough to send me her copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and I dorked out over the ferning on my ovulation scope and have been crossing my fingers every morning when I take my temperature ( Read more... )

Kind of embarrassed at how little I've accomplished since taking the BCBA exam more than a week ago. I haven't felt like writing, either, but if I don't start, it will just get worse ( Read more... )

Last night Carey and I went to Meijer for the first time to do some grocery shopping. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices and selection. Part of food reset is that I have to grocery shop more frequently to keep my fresh produce stocked, and we picked up lots of fruits and veggies to keep things interesting. I got fish and eggs back yesterday, ( Read more... )

I'm not going to start another entry by apologizing for not writing more frequent entries. I went from not posting because I had no schedule to not posting because my schedule is INSANE. Either way, I feel so much better when I'm writing more than this ( Read more... )

Yeah, that's me with my arms up and the silver camera in my hands. I promise to write a post about this as soon as I catch up on my reading for my three exams Mon, Tues, and Weds. xo.

I really want to do a proper post today, but it's difficult. I would ordinarily take the easy way out and do a video post, but I'm packing up my apartment in my underwear (it's too dang hot), and neither my apartment nor I are in any way camera-ready. I did a test post on FB and on LJ today, and I'm able to text posts to both, which will be fun ( Read more... )
