I find it funny that now, during one of the most exhausting and stressful weeks of my life to date, I am reading Walden each night before going to bed. Why is this funny? Well, if you’re unfamiliar with Walden (which 90% of the phlebomists at the plasma center are), it is the part-philosophical, part-memoir account …
In Which I Dance Alone and Not Alone
So some journalism students at my school put out a newspaper each month to the whole student body, and somehow or other, I seem to end up in every issue. Maybe it’s because the social dance class I teach twice a week is a hot debate (is it awesome? is it lame? is it mortifying?), …
Just Call Him the Baby Whisperer
Last weekend, we ended up going home as a semi-last-minute surprise for Mom’s Day. While home, we finally got to meet my darling nephew Evan for the first time, and I’ve gotta say: that hubby of mine sure is handsome with a wee babe in his arms. (But don’t get any ideas, folks—we’re not planning …

Tuesday Tell-All Vacation
Due to the fact that we are spazzy-excited for the vacation we’re leaving on today after I’m done with work, there will be no Tuesday Tell-All. But, to prove that I’m not totally spaced out and crazy, I have planned a couple more posts for the next couple days so you won’t feel TOO left …
Gettin’ Ready to Blow this Popcicle Stand
In addition to trying to get better from this little sickness that decided to creep up on me, I spent my weekend getting ready to get out of here. How does one go about getting ready for such a thing as a faux spring break away (well, faux for me–not for Matt)? Well, I’ll enlighten you. …
