LIFE

If you could have the perfect date with yourself, what would you do?   Woah. Fell off the writing bandwagon there for a few days. Let's just chalk it up to a perfect display of how real life doesn't always go according to plan and move right along, shall we? I've actually started implementing some self-dates but have yet to come up with a...

What do you know about your family's history and culture?   The short answer, not much. The long answer, we've been so very wrong about our culture in the past. Ever since I was little my family swore we are from German descent. With very little proof to go on, we all kind of just accepted that. A couple of years ago my sister took one of...

Take the title of the last song you listened to and make it your post title. Write for a minimum of 10 minutes. Alex and I are celebrating 8 years together in just a couple of days. We'll be celebrating our 4th marriage anniversary in a month. This post is going to be about him. It's not unknown to me that Alex and I have a weird relationship....

Begin a story with the phrase, "And it was in that moment I knew I wouldn't get to finish my piece of cake."    And it was in that moment I knew I wouldn’t get to finish my piece of cake.

Tell her something you've always wanted to say, but haven't.   Dear Mom, The funny thing is I know you’ll most likely actually read this post, which adds more pressure to write something good. No hypothetical letters to moms here. But I’m grateful for the constant, unwavering interest you take in my hobbies and...

What completely bores you?   My answer to this question would be different if COVID-19 never happened. But we live with the cards that have been played. I cannot for the life of me find online meetings interesting. On average there’s about five minutes of valuable information and the rest is mind-numbingly dull. The cliches about online meetings...

What have you been putting off doing? Why?   Our basement has always been a dumping ground. The place where we store old memories, extra furniture, half finished projects, and abandoned hobbies. As just two people in a house that could easily have three times as many people living in it, we have way too much space.  I live firmly in the...
