FINALLY my Asian Literature course ended about 2 weeks ago. I don’t know how I did it but I managed to get an A in the course. Okay an A- if Isaac is reading this. He always makes sure to throw in “It was an A MINUS!!!”, ass. 😉 So last week I started “Great…
Warning: Photos may be upsetting to some. Not for weak-stomached individuals! For this week’s photo challenge, my fiance’s job came to mind. He supervises an eye lab that collects, evaluates, and prepares human corneas for transplant. Some people may look at these photos and think “gross” but I see a beautiful thing. Through somebody’s lost life,…
Isaac and I have a dilemma on our hands. I Can’t stop sleepwalking into his room and waking him up every single night. I also can’t stop laughing as I’m writing this. What in the world?! It’s like in the past two weeks my subconscious has tapped into the fact that I am not confined…
To me, the words “comfort” and “family” are interchangeable. I am fortunate, I realize. For many, the word family creates feelings of anger, frustration, hurt, and uneasiness. When I saw that “comfort” was the weekly photo challenge, instantly pictures of my sisters came to mind. My family is my comfort no matter the reason, time,…
A co-worker of mine who has a daughter with eczema/allergies like mine often refers to me as a “litmus test for quality.” She is incredibly encouraging and will say things like “you’re not too sensitive, you are not weird, you are a test for true quality in this world.

No better place for sunset pictures than the FL Keys… The next three were taken by Isaac outside his house. Just amazing.
This morning I spent two hours in a dentist chair having some work done. The chair was made of tempurpedic material and I was covered in a soft fleece blanket the whole time (yes my dentist is awesome), but it was STILL a trip to the dentist. The worst part of my dental adventure was…
The other night my fiance, Isaac, was tucking me in (yes, he does that every night). As he was rubbing my back I half jokingly/half asleep demanded, “name 17 things you love about me.” Without missing a beat he started listing things he loves about me, occasionally stopping to ask what number he was on.…
The Verbal Tipper (Viberious Tipurus) is a mysterious, but far from extinct creature. The Verbal Tipper can be found in any gender, size, race, social status, or religion. The Verbal Tipper is polite, somewhat needy, but never over the top. The Verbal Tipper can be hard to spot at first, but unmistakable as a meal…
A few months ago, my future in-laws, Isaac’s family, had to leave the home they had resided in for the past 30 years. They have spent 30 birthdays, 30 Christmases, 30 Thanksgiving’s, and approximately 10,957 days in their home on Reynolda Rd. In their final months living in the home, my heart grew heavier with…
