One of my amazing sisters sent me a letter in the mail the other day. It absolutely made my day. I don’t think there’s anything I like better than getting mail of any kind — snail mail, e-mail, a Facebook message, a text message. The fact that one of my darling sisters took the time [...]

As It Turns Out, It Wasn’t.
I am officially still unemployed. There is a tiny (or not-so-tiny, honestly) part of me that feels very resentful and totally pissed off that I spent almost three hundred dollars on a rental car and gas so I could go to this job interview where the interviewers gushed about how much they loved me and [...]

I’m Pretty Sure It’s Worth It.
Two days. One thousand miles. Sixteen hours in the car. Almost three hundred dollars. Hopefully, these numbers will add up to the thing I’ve spent months looking for: one shiny new job.
The interview went exceedingly well. Now I’m stuck waiting, which Tom Petty accurately claims to be the hardest [...]

Things Someone Should Buy Me
1. The Bender Ball: It’s 408% more effective than regular crunches! I saw it on TV last night and decided I want one. And I won’t get offended and think you think I’m fat because you bought me one.
2. A Dooney and Bourke purse: I’m not usually one for [...]

Quickly:
Another number/list post!
1. I’m heading to Jackson tomorrow (or Wednesday)! I’ll be staying with an old roommate, and I’ll get to see quite a few friends from school. As it turns out, I have excellent timing and will be in town the same weekend as pre-registration for the new students. I [...]

Office, Work Space … Same Thing.
I’ve been looking for a big girl job since March. When I first started looking, I had the ideal job in mind — something in public relations, something in the healthcare or nonprofit field, something fabulous. When I found that I was either lacking the years of experience for these jobs or learned that “promotional [...]

Ask and You Shall Receive
First, it was the meaning of “Jordan on Saturday.” My good friend/one-time commenter Don explained that one, and because of this, I became the first website listed when you Google that phrase. (And that’s not going to stop any time soon since I mentioned it AGAIN.) Earlier this week, I pondered the pronunciation of Will [...]

Ten Random Things
For lack of subject matter, here are ten random things that happened this weekend. I doubt any of them are significant in any capacity, but here we go.
1. I have a new favorite song: “Sweet Pea” by Amos Lee. Can’t go wrong with ol’ Amos.
2. I think Ryan Adams and [...]
