Did you guys ever read that book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day when you were a kid? From the moment Alexander wakes up, things just don’t go his way. He trips on a skateboard and drops his sweater in the sink, his teacher doesn’t like his picture of an invisible […]
I’m Only Sleeping
I am not a morning person. This has been well documented by anyone who has ever lived with me, travelled somewhere with me or tried to have a conversation with me at 6:30am. Mornings are just hard for me. They always have been, since I was little. It takes me forever to actually wake up. […]
Colour Match
I got to work this morning and my coworker was all, “your nails perfectly match your scarf!” Do you guys ever colour match things without meaning to? It happens to me a lot.

Too hot? Doesn’t like being on camera? Hates […]

Every good and perfect gift
Note: I wrote this the day after Thanksgiving and it has taken me until now to post it. #laterblog? I almost scrapped it, but then thought that we should be Thankful all the times, not just Thanksgiving. My family came to visit me this Thanksgiving. Despite rocky beginnings—a 4:30am arrival time, a mass break-in in […]
Married Life
I’ll be some of you saw that headline and got really excited for me for a second. Married Life is what I have been listening to all day today. I know it’s supposed to tell the life and love story of Carl and Ellie in Up, but this feels like fall to me. Don’t you […]
