Think about your best friend.  That person who’s always been there for you.  Who’s basically family at this point.  The person that you don’t know where you’d be without them.
Now… how long have you known them?
I feel like my close friends come in waves.  Of the handful of people who have really made an impact [...]

Yesterday I wrote about how I’m falling apart this holiday season.  However, I don’t want people to worry that I’m heading back down that path I was on last year.  Unlike Humpty, I can be put back together again.
There are a few small things I’m doing to keep myself together and to not let small [...]

November is starting out pretty well. I’ve been very fortunate to get a few freelance web design jobs. I haven’t started designing any of them, but have been working out the details and making agreements.
Two of them are wedding websites. One of those is a gift from me to the couple. (Yay! Libby & Zach [...]

Do you ever feel like one of your friends, maybe even someone you dated for a while, is avoiding you… ignoring you for no reason… just disappeared without a word…
Yeah.  I’ve been dealing with that.
I may grow attached to people very quickly, form strong bonds faster than most, but those connections are damn important to [...]

So.  I’ve had a lot of fun in the past week.  A lot.
But this weekend I did something, albeit awesome and fun, that I wasn’t looking forward to (well, yes, I was, but not what it meant).
This weekend, a small, but spectacularly awesome (if I do say so myself) group of people gathered to say [...]

Here are some things going on right now:

As mentioned in the previous post, I went to the Gals Guide Summit.  It was really good!  Very fun and informative.  Well organized, and some great swag! Seriously, free Dove deodorant? um, yes.  Also: pizza, chocolates, cookies, cupcakes, and vitamin water!  Plus a lot more.  Jenn’s review (in [...]

sitting at home all day, not accomplishing my goal of walking down to the lake or getting to the bank
the lack of cupcakes
the amount of junk food I know I’m going to continue to consume
how restless I feel
that I still haven’t heard from someone and yes I know it’s not about me, but I still [...]

I don’t think I say this enough…
but to all my wonderful and truly amazing friends:
THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
This isn’t because of any one person, or any one event going on right now… It’s long overdue, and I definitely don’t say it enough to the people I care most about.

more of my friends need to come and stay in Chicago, with me, forever.
I don’t see Chrissy enough (see above)
I need to quit doubting myself
make sure you know how long your house guests are staying
my brother’s friends really know nothing about me
if I say you can use my desktop, that does not give you permission [...]

Continuing with the relationship thing…  I’ve come to a few conclusions.
I’m perfectly OK being single.
Being in a relationship does not change my self worth.  It does not necessarily make me a better person.  And it won’t necessarily make me a happier person either.  Some people can live an amazing part of their adult lives on [...]
