I've wanted to write this blog for awhile. I love these kinds of blogs that other people write so I thought it would be fun to put this list together.

How I Fell In Love With My BUJO (a.k.a. Bullet Journal)
When I first found out about bullet journals, it was love at first sight. I collect notebooks and am often writing out lists, but I realized that I had all of my scribbles spread out over several different pieces of paper. Also, there was a moment when I tried to remember an event that happened... Continue Reading →

GOODBYE to 2021! CHEERS to 2022! – A Wrap Up of Last Year
It's so cliche to say, but it is always so shocking how time flies. Even with the pandemic still going on and strong, I remained pretty busy the entire time.

HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY TO ME!
Last Thursday, 6/3/21, I turned 31 years old. It's kind of funny how the mindset changes as you go through your 20's.

Vaxxed and (Optimistically)Ready for Summer

Just Working On My Fitness, You’re My Witness (Part 2)
Early on in this blog’s existence, I wrote a post with the above title that had a list of goals that I said I would provide updates on about my progress. As demonstrated by the years that I didn't post, I didn’t keep that promise. Now that I’m recommitted to this blog, I hope to... Continue Reading →
My Last Week of Normalcy – Reflecting on the Pandemic One Year Later
Today is March 8th, 2021. A year ago today, I was spending time with my friend Kristina who was in town for a weekend full of theater.
