Ready.
On the last day of 2012, I can’t help but reflect on what a year it’s been. This year I got engaged to love of my life, and started planning our wedding. I went to my first-ever blogging conference. I decided that it was time to make changes in my career, and I put in […]
Travel Plans, Super-Sized Edition!
On Friday I dropped the bomb that we’re leaving for a three-month trip to Southeast Asia in January. It may have seemed a little out of left field because I wanted to keep it quiet out of respect for those who didn’t know yet. But behind the scenes, before we made this decision, we had […]
Merry Blood Sugar!
I woke up Christmas morning with my Dexcom reading a truly god-awful number that I didn’t deserve (I ate well the night before! Bolused properly! WTF?!). I was upset and disappointed to start the day on such a bad note. But then I realized that I didn’t have any other high symptoms, and my Dex […]
A short list…
Things I love about Christmas: Things I hate about Christmas: That’s all. 🙂
A Big Leap of Faith.
Every so often, it seems like the universe is sending you a big, flashing, neon sign saying “THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO…NOW!” Over the past few months, I’ve had one of those signs. The buyout of my company by a pharmaceutical giant meant a change in company culture that doesn’t align with me […]
Distractionary ways…
Hey remember that time I just didn’t blog for a few days? Oh what’s that you say - that’s right now? Yes, yes, the big birthday bash weekend, a.k.a. OMG I’m Actually 30 Can You Believe It? Weekend Extravaganza was truly epic. So epic I’m only just now back in front of the computer. Two […]
Milestones into the unknown.
It’s my 30th birthday on Monday. Yep, the big 3-0. Although that number sounds strange to say out loud only because I often still think of myself as a kid, it doesn’t scare me in any way. No quarter life crisis here, no pretending it’s still 29 plus another candle. No. Thirty, I am ready […]
Superpowers. I haz them.
It struck me the other day that I couldn’t remember the last time I got real people sick - you know a cough or cold-type situation. Yes, I get a flu shot every year but that doesn’t protect me for 12 months in a row or from some of the most common colds going around. […]
That airplane meal.
Jacob and I took a whirlwind, two-day trip to Oahu this weekend for the sole purpose of wedding planning. Yes, taking two six-hour plane rides in a span of 48 hours might seem crazy (and that’s because it is), but since the holidays are coming we couldn’t take too much time off work. We found […]
Wednesday Mornings.
“Jab, cross, left hook, right uppercut, go!” yells our instructor. It’s barely 6:15am but we’re already drenched in sweat, going to town on the heavy bags. We drill away at our bags for another 15 minutes, following the instructor’s calls for combinations. By 6:30, he tells us to take two laps - which includes a […]
