  • January by the Numbers.

    This is the sort of post I don’t imagine many people will find interesting, but I’m a little bit of a numbers nerds and thought that, this year, I’d really like to keep track of a lot of little details and lay them all out at the end of the month to see how I…

  • Big Bad Woolf.

    Some of my more regular readers might have noticed a lack of a Monday Morning Reset post this week; it’s been a bad week for time management so far, and, at this part, we’re so much closer to next Monday that I’m just taking a pass this week. And that’s okay, because one of the…

  • Thug Kitchen 001: Quinoa Oatmeal.

    As I mentioned in another post, the boyfriend and I got a copy of one of Thug Kitchen‘s excellent Cookbooks for Christmas, and I’ve decided to go ahead and make every recipe in the book, even the ones with disgusting eggplant, and then blog about it because that’s just what people do. So, yesterday, since…

  • Sleepyhead.

    Work has definitely been kicking my butt lately. Our little sub-department has exactly four employees in it. Four. Our supervisor, one full timer, two part timers. It works pretty well, but when someone gets injured or sick, things get a little crazy. And it just so happens that our full timer is the one out…

  • First Reset of the Year!

    Happy Monday, everyone! I nearly forgot it was Monday, despite having been looking forward to it, because I stayed up quite a bit past my bedtime to watch the Golden Globes after work, then allowed myself to sleep in a bit, and then realizing that this meant I had less time to try to get…

  • The Books I’ve Read 2016.

    It’s that time again! My favorite new year tradition is clearing out the small bookshelf where I put all the books I’ve read within a calendar year, make a post about them, and then eagerly anticipate filling it with more books in the current year. Even the bookshelf itself is special; I remember my uncle…

  • Not Much to Reset Yet.

    Though I’ve tried to ignore it, I still have to admit that the orderly part of my brain is still twitching a little bit over the fact that New Year’s Day missed Monday by such a small margin. How perfect would it have been if the Full Year Reset happened to coincide with a Monday…

  • And Away We Go!

    It’s here, it’s here The new year is finally here! And while I’m not really down with the whole “2016 was so shitty!” thing (certain aspects of it was, of course, but I had a lot of wonderful things happen to me personally in 2016, and, really, as my boyfriend said when I asked him…

  • Everything is Illuminated, but maybe we should turn down the light a little.

    In my rush to finish up as many books as I can before the beginning of 2017 (where I shall strip my “Have Read” shelf clean and start anew), I’ve finally managed to finish Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything is Illuminated. Foer’s made some waves in the literary community, so I was pretty stoked to finally…

  • Post-Christmas, Pre-New Year, Boxing Day Bonanza.

    I’m American, so we don’t really have Boxing Day here in the States, but I’ve always been a little bit fascinated by it, a holiday built up around a distinction in class and/or appreciation of the tradespeople that make Christmas Day possible. Maybe I’m just partial to it because I’ve always worked in the service…
