Once upon a time, my parents told me I was smart. Little did I know they were liars. I love interior design, as mentioned in this post about not being glamorous while sweating profusely. This little side passion hit me while I was living on a sailboat, about the time Pinterest became a thing. Suddenly at 28-years-old, I… Continue reading There Once Was a Lady with Three Dogs and One White Berber Rug

White Berber Rugs: Where Dogs Leave Their Very Best
One morning as I was threw back the curtains to let in the glorious sunlight, I noticed a stain on Big White Berber Baby. The kind of stain you’ve been told not to eat should you find it in the snow. In a house covered in 80% wood flooring, one of my precious dogs chose to tinkle on… Continue reading White Berber Rugs: Where Dogs Leave Their Very Best
My Big Fat White Rugs: A History of Bad Choices
White rug one was purchased at Ikea shortly before moving into my current house. It was on sale and had dusty blue paisleys. I love paisleys, so onto my giant cart it went. Though I thought it would go into the bedroom, I put white rug one in my living room. The lightness of the rug helped… Continue reading My Big Fat White Rugs: A History of Bad Choices

For me, few images are more #Fitness-inspiring than exercise champions who #WOWH (work out while hot). I scroll through chiseled body after chiseled… Continue reading Why You’ll Never See My “Sexy” Gym Photos

To pollute the internet with even more useless content no one needs but some may enjoy, I’m hitting a new weekly segment. #FirstWorldProblemFridays. As a spoiled resident of the first world, most of the problems which plague me aren’t problems at all. But rather than pop open my iMessage to hit up a colleague about my current non-crisis,… Continue reading #FirstWorldProblemFridays: August 24, 2018
What this Website Is and What this Website Isn’t
It’s been seven years since I hit the publish button on this blog’s first post. Through this website, I’ve: discussed my book, adventures aboard my sailboat, mishmashings from the struggles of working a corporate life. And one post about my new horse. A story I published over one year ago, with zero follow-ups later. Were this… Continue reading What this Website Is and What this Website Isn’t
