I’ve been thinking a lot about boundaries lately. 
I try to set boundaries in my relationships and at work and so on, but I find that they tend to blur.  I try to separate my work life from my home life, but often find myself clicking away on my laptop as I eat dinner or watch [...]

Some of the wisest things I ever say to people are not my own words.  They are the words of the wise men and women who have gone before me.  Shakespeare?  Sure.  Donne?  Absolutely.  Emerson?  You bet.
But Willy Wonka?  Without a doubt.  You see, I think that as children we are more receptive to large [...]

Well, folks, at least you can say I’m consistent.
Had rehearsal for The Laramie Project tonight.  There’s a really nice guy in the cast who lives near me and we decided to car pool.  He drove because I’m just too tired at the end of the day. We had a good rehearsal and as we were [...]

I am in awe.  Absolutely in awe.  I have a friend who has officially performed a super-cool act previously seen only in spy movies, action thrillers and the occasional angsty-teen drama.  My friend picked open a locked door with the wrong key and a credit card.
I watched in amazement as she skillfully inserted the key [...]

When I was in college I wore flannel pajama pants, a tank top and a baseball shirt to work and called it a good day when the clothes had all been washed in the same week.  I’d get up approximately five minutes before I had to be somewhere and if I hadn’t showered, a baseball [...]

Over worked and under paid.  I think most of us are familiar with this phrase.  We say it with frustration as we look at piles taking up desk space or the evergrowing to-do list.  We use it as a way to bond with strangers.  Everyone can relate, right?
Why?  Why do we as a society allow [...]

This morning I woke up late and ran frantically about my apartment getting dressed and washing my hair to make it to work relatively on time.  Knowing that I would be exhausted this morning, last night in my sleepy haze I pulled out a brown skirt and one of my favorite tops: a simple yellow [...]

Alright folks, I am in the midst of a major decision.   I have been presented with a remarkably affordable trip to Las Vegas for the weekend.  I really, really, really want to go.  I can’t go to Vegas!  What am I, nuts?  I have responsibilities.  I have work.  I have laundry to do.  I have [...]

For reasons I absolutely, completely, 100% do not understand, the recent thunder and lightening storms have scared me out of my wits. 
I’ve always loved storms so I don’t understand the current mental process that has me so jumpy.  When I was growing up, my parents and grandparents told me that thunder was the sound of [...]

I hate being sick.  I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!  It’s not good.  It turns me into the worst version of myself.  When I am sick I get whiny and pushy and terribly unpleasant. 
I’ve been ill since yesterday and I’ve been pushy and weepy and obnoxious and even though [...]
