Thanks to my 12-year old cousin, I’ve discovered the joy of Snapchat. Snapchat is an app that allows you to send pictures to other people with the stipulation that they can only view the picture or video for a couple of seconds until it disappears forever. Originally, I only had two contacts on Snapchat – my 12-year old … Continue reading

Groupon is the Devil
Although I check Groupon at least once a week, I’ve only purchased two Groupons. One was for an American Apparel discount (I bought a purple unitard and matching fanny pack, one of the best purchases of my life) and the other was for two oil changes at Butler Kia on Keystone. While the American Apparel Groupon … Continue reading
High Heel Appeal
I know in my last blog post I said I wasn’t going to make any New Year’s resolutions, but I am. Here it is ladies and gentlemen. In 2013, I’m going to….wear a pair of heels! If you know me at all, you know that I despise shoes with a heel. I spend my entire … Continue reading
Resolve to not make resolutions
Today’s Think Kit blog prompt: “What’s one step you can take to support a goal you have for 2013?” I started thinking about my goals and resolutions for 2013. Go to the gym more. Eat healthy. Work harder and smarter. Be more financially conscious. The problem with resolutions is that no one ever sticks to them. … Continue reading
Thankfulness
Today’s Think Kit blog prompt: “Share a photo from your year that highlights giving, thankfulness, traditions or finding peace.” I am thankful for Vladimir. Saturday night, he gave us a big scare. Vladimir reminds me of Marley from Marley and Me. He is rambunctious, crazy and barks/cries constantly. He sucks on the bed comforter, pillows, … Continue reading
These are a few of my favorite things
For today’s Think Kit prompt, I’m using a lifeline. Sooo….”What are your top 10 favorite things from 2012?” This year has been AMAZING. Here’s why. 1. The Super Bowl in Indianapolis. All I can say is WOW. I had a great opportunity to be a part of the Huddle After Hours, featuring local and national … Continue reading
Picture This
Today’s Think Kit prompt: “If money, time or other commitments were no obstacle in 2013, what would you do?” I’ve had an ongoing love affair with photography throughout my whole life. Ever since my first photography class in high school (shout out to Mr. Daly at Carmel High School!), I knew that photography was going … Continue reading
Apocalypse Mix
Is the world really going to end on Friday? Who knows. I haven’t been following all of the doomsday blogs to get all the juicy details, but I really hope not. I’m looking forward to traveling to Key West, Barcelona and hopefully Hawaii (again) in 2013. And, it’s Gabby Love’s birthday celebration on Friday night, … Continue reading
If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost
“Remember your name. Do not lose hope – what you seek will be found.” -Neil Gaiman For a short period of time this year, I lost hope. A herniated disc in my lower back had me debilitated for several months during the spring, which sent me slowly down a path of depression. Not being able to sit … Continue reading
I don’t even know what this is, this sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby!
I had to use a lifeline for today’s Think Kit blog prompt. Today’s was “when was the last time you listened to someone, where, why?” I’m a talker, not a listener. I kid, I kid. But I do talk a lot. And I couldn’t think of anything blog-worthy when it came to my listening skills. … Continue reading
