Sometimes I think I have ESPN ESP (dangit Karen from Mean Girls, always confusing me!). I have spoken to my aunt about it who suggested I read a book about developing this special sense. Come to think of it, the counselor I used to see also gave me a book about intuition. He felt my intuition…
There are some people in life that are miserable, and are therefore miserable people to be around. Being the sociology/psychology freak that I am, I find it really interesting to track these unhappy people to see if there is a connection between their moods and their places of employment. Are certain jobs making people unhappy…
For me, the hardest part about waitressing is the wind down after a shift. After a 15-hour workday I would love to come home, shower, and pass out immediately. My body is begging for sleep, but my brain is still scrambling for a pen, memorizing orders, fighting with chefs, and sucking up to guests. I…
Court, is the light bulb in the dining room out or is the light broken? The light bulb is out, it has been for a few days now. So you’re just waiting for me to fix it? Yes. Just so I’m clear on my duties for the rest of our lives, it is my job…
I have always posted examples of my own photography for the weekly photo challenges, but this week I’m switching it up a bit due to the theme. When I read the word “together” I instantly thought about my fiance, Isaac. Since September of 2007, we have spent almost every day together (except the year we…
It is with regret that I post this rejection letter from the Customer Service Department at Chipotle. While his answer was ultimately “no”, I was blown away by the thoughtfulness and detail he put into his response.

I am a woman (It’s true, I checked). This means a few different things: I can cry wherever, whenever, and for whatever reason I want, no explanation necessary. I can and will constantly change my mind on both minor and major life issues. My feelings towards peanut butter, organized religion, rainy days, the color yellow,…
It’s easy to take our spouses for granted. When he has left the toilet seat up again or she ate crackers in bed and left a nice layer of crumbs across the Egyptian cotton sheets (guilty), we can be quick to snap. It’s easy to forget how many men and women would welcome and even laugh at…
My dream is for my wedding next year to be catered by Chipotle. This is a slight problem because Chipotle doesn’t cater. Yesterday, my crack dealer local Chipotle manager informed me about a “Chipotle Truck” that drives around Texas serving food on-the-go. The truck has been known to venture to other states at times and…
Challenge: Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? This is a photograph that I took for my friends, Kim and Brandon. I love a good sunburst shot, and I wanted this one to emphasize the baby she was carrying. I like how…
