Long December
Remember the song by the Counting Crows? I sort of do- they weren’t my favorite band as I’m not the biggest fan of male singers who sound like they are whining/singing. And yes, I know they were a huge band and I have very strange opinions on really minor things at times but hey, we…

Monthly Wrap-Up
Well, the month of “daily” posting is done. I wrote and backdated 4/30 posts (including this one!) so I didn’t quite ace the assignment. I do feel like I’ve made good progress on re-establishing my blogging habit. I don’t think one month is quite enough to form an ironclad habit but it’s a good start.…

Best/Worst: Christmas Songs
Shout out to Elisabeth for the idea! BEST: This is the most amazing song. It combines Christmas, The Killers, and clever lyrics. What other song uses the word “anthracite?” Also, double bonus, Brandon Flowers IS WEARING THE SAME CHRISTMAS SWEATER THAT I HAVE?!?!?! Love, love, love! This a total flashback to college when my friend…

Things I Am Liking
I have really enjoyed the November blog challenge and reading others’ blogs. My commenting has only been so-so, but I really like the ideas for repeating posts that occur at regular or semi-regular intervals.

I will never eat again…
You know how mindfulness teachers will talk about “Be in the moment.” I feel that oftentimes, this is not a very big problem for me. In the moment, I feel something very strongly and it seems like it will be a permanent state. This morning, I woke up still full from yesterday night’s dinner and…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Do you know that Adam Sandler’s Thanksgiving Song premiered in 1992? It was on Weekend Update with Kevin Nealon on SNL. I had no idea it was so old! And yes, I was around and definitely remember it. Today, we’re traveling to San Diego. I sent ahead wine, which is my party trick of the…

Influencing Type
Although I try not to be, I can definitely be influenced to buy something. I know that influencing is a career in advertising. When I’m on IG, I can clearly see that I fit into a “demographic.” Oh, how my angsty, “I’m all alone” teenage self would despair. How can I be like everyone else?!?!…

Demerit!
Another missed post! I’m happy to be part of the November daily blogging streak. I feel like it’s revived my interest in blogging! But I’m a work in progress. I will take the win that I’ve really broken a dry spell in blogging. And thanks for the thoughtful comments on rent vs buy. I feel…
