This week was short but exhausting. I rarely ever feel stressed by my work, but it’s been an intense week. Conflicting data and trying to make sense of it all = head explosion. I usually love working with Excel (I am a nerd), but this week, my brain hurt. * * * Our 9th…
I’ve mentioned before that I am not one to jump on bandwagons. If something becomes popular really fast and gets a lot of hype, I am usually rather ‘meh’ about it and I often scoff at it, too. I KNOW. Not always my proudest moment, but I just can’t help it. Here are some things…

As so often, I didn’t get to see my Mom and we also didn’t see J’s Mom, but I bought (myself – haha!) some tulips in honor of all…
This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + It’s awkward when perfectly fine and functional apps + websites make design changes just because (I’m talking about you, Google). The latest offender: Instagram. Why oh why did you have to put the “like” and “comment” button up at the…
I don’t know about you, but I am someone who always needs a mental ‘project’ at any given time. I focus a lot of mental energy on said projects and it often helps me stay focused and motivated – even during the most frustrating times. The only problem usually is that I am attempting to…
As you might know, I’ve been working on my first knitted cardigan the last few weeks since the beginning of the year. I was very good about documenting my weekly progress, well, until I wasn’t.
