I started early on one of my goals for 2020, which is to join WW (Weight Watchers for the uninitiated). It feels like a very middle aged thing to do, but since I needed something to track my food, progress that isn’t going to take up too much time, I think this may be a… Continue reading Early Start
20 for 2020
Here’s my goal list for 2020. I started with about 30 goals and narrowed it down to 20. Some of these I’m hoping to knock off right off the bat, so I put them at the top. Most of the 30 I took off were going to be expensive and since I’m trying to save… Continue reading 20 for 2020
19 for 2019
In 2019, I attempted to reach 19 goals, creating more success than I did in my previous 18 for 2018. Here’s the list, along with how I did. Pay off car. Well, I wrecked my car, so technically it got paid off, but now I have a new car payment, so not really sure how… Continue reading 19 for 2019
Winter is Coming
Editor’s Note: Posting late again! This was meant to post Tuesday, Nov. 13. It’s bitter cold here in Austin, Texas, which is highly unusual for November. It’s 35 degrees and cloudy outside, while we’re used to balmy days and nights much of the year. I’ve finished reading “The Nest” and have begun making my way… Continue reading Winter is Coming
Planning an Island Getaway
Editor’s note: This posted two days later than I had planned. Surrounded by travel books, my friend Bobbie Jill and I spent yesterday pouring through books on Hawaii at Book People planning the perfect trip to Hawaii this summer. I bought one book on the Big Island, where we’ll see lava, a green beach, waterfalls… Continue reading Planning an Island Getaway
Patriot Act, Magic Erasers, Kale and Hourglass
I’m on a comedy kick on Netflix right now. Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj is fairly timely, although it is pre-midterms (so three days ago!). Minhaj covers Amazon as a monopoly, your state legislators and more. I just got started but plan to continue watching. Last night, I brought out the magic eraser, which doesn’t… Continue reading Patriot Act, Magic Erasers, Kale and Hourglass
Election Day
Today is the last day to vote in Texas for the mid-term elections, so make sure your voice is heard. For Election Day, you’ll have to vote at a specific polling location, so make sure you know where to go before you go: https://www.votetexas.gov/voting/where.html. There may be long lines, but our rights are worth it! Enough… Continue reading Election Day
November Thoughts
This month, I hope to remain thankful for all the love and friends and family I have in my life right now.
My ever evolving style
I can remember telling my parents my favorite color was black at the dinner table around middle school. I remember nervous glances between my parents. Obviously I was a devil worshipper or into the drugs. Except I wasn’t. I just didn’t want to have the typical answer: pink. Fast forward many, many years and… Continue reading My ever evolving style
Work in progress
As you can see, I am making some big changes to my site (and life). I’d like to say I know when this will be done, but a blog, much like real life, is a continuing project that evolves over time. From now on, this will be less of a portfolio page and more about,… Continue reading Work in progress
