I have some concerns about going to Japan. Not enough to make me not want to go, but they are concerns, nonetheless. First, I don’t know the language. Usually this doesn’t bother me, but the only other countries I’ve been to have been Spanish speaking, except France, but my mom (who is fluent) was there … Continue reading Reasons I’m nervous about going to Japan

I have decided that the worst part of a vacation, without a doubt, is not the coming back to work after it.It's the week (or in my case, month) before leaving that is the most torturous part.The last month, but two weeks specifically, at work have been absolutely horrifying. It's been busy, demanding and and … Continue reading Shockingly, vacations CAN suck.

I think I'm going to go blonde.I haven't yet figured out what, exactly, inspired this.

They left a massive trail … Continue reading Playing with hippies.

It’s amazing to me how tired I’ve been this week. I think I’m pushing myself too hard sometimes, but there’s really no way to stop myself now. What with working full time and going to school on top of that and then trying to lose weight and get fit…it’s really exhausting. This is how I’ve … Continue reading Slipping into delirium…

Ah the Lenten Season is upon us. Every year, I make every effort to take part in this. I think it’s a somewhat important thing to do, even outside of religion. Learning to let go of unnecessary or frivolous or unimportant things is sometimes, well, necessary. This year, Lent came up on me much faster … Continue reading Fat Tuesday is here…you know what that means…

Yesterday was the Run the Republic stair climb in downtown Denver. The event happens ever year and is a benefit for the American Lung Association of Colorado. I've been wanting to do this event for years...since it was "Run the Register" (the Register is another cool building in downtown) and this year, I finally did … Continue reading Up, Up and AWAY!

Well what a week this has been for the ol' brain. Work and school both took it's toll on me and required far more than I thought I had to give to either.
