  • Random Sides // Some Life Lessons as of Late.

    Do you ever have those days – or times – in which you experience more epiphanies than usual? I swear, sometimes I’m going along in life and everything is just hard or not making any damn sense. Then all of the sudden, it’s as if I’ve made progress; I’ve pushed through the mud, and I have…

  • Random Sides // Scenes from Portland.

    A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend approximately thirty-six hours in Portland, Oregon. Thirty-six hours was not nearly enough, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I’ll be back [read that in an Ahhnold voice!]… I was traveling to the Puget Sound region for work, and I had permission to extend the…

  • Random Sides // 26 Things in 26 Years: Part II.

    Today is my 26th birthday. I’m still a bit nervous about it, because it means I’m four years closer to being thirty (!!!). About a month ago, I posted my first thirteen pieces of “things I’ve learned” – aka Part I. So check it out if you like, then let’s get started with Part II! 14. Do something…

  • Random Sides // 26 Things in 26 Years: Part I.

    In exactly one month, I’ll be turning twenty-six years old. When I turned twenty-five last year, I thought I was “old.” HA! Now I’m only four years away from being thirty. *shudder* Okay, all of you over the age of thirty are probably rolling your eyes right now, so I’ll shut up. Just like last year,…

  • Random Sides // Seven Things Depression has Taught Me.

    I once rambled pretty candidly on depression and my experiences with it before on the blog [read at your own risk; it’s a doozy]. Obviously I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: depression sucks a big one. However, like any negative part of life, there are also – dare I say – positive aspects…

    The past several weeks have included the following: lots of baking, eating a ton of food, drinking too many tasty beers, spending time with loved ones, being very lazy, and not working. So basically, my holiday break was a great success. And I’m feeling quite refreshed and ready for 2015! Here’s my recap of what…

  • Random Sides // My 2015 Resolutions: Part II.

    {Note: I realize that I’m a few days late in posting Part II. Better late than never though, right? I was having some issues with WordPress and getting this post published, but here we are!} If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, please see Part I of my 2015 Resolutions. Then…

  • Random Sides // My 2015 Resolutions: Part I.

    Historically speaking, I’ve never been one to be into New Years’ Resolutions. I guess I’m just kind of a grinch about the new year. I have never seen a point in making resolutions, especially because I negatively always assumed that I would never keep them anyway. Plus, I always thought that it was silly to wait…

  • Currently // 12.01.2014.

    Wow. The past several months have been a bit rough. I’ve experienced several deaths in the family, and I just got over a post-Thanksgiving flu bug. Yuck. Luckily I’m doing a bit better now, and I’m ready to get through December and move onto 2015! Here’s a quick recap of what I’ve been up to…
