I really wish I wrote some of this down when I got home Friday night so I could remember everything in better detail. Friday: Renee and I had the opportunity to watch our Angela in TnTs Wedding. It was a great show. Chicagoans, if you haven’t seen it by now, go. You’ll laugh for pretty

I find that I assign memories and more specifically locations to particular lines, or even notes of songs. I am currently on the train in to work, where the majority of music listening has happened. Amongst these maroon uncomfortable seats, my ears have grown and developed and changed. But I am moving away from my

Remember when I told you that I didn’t like my neckless trainer? I lied. I really liked him tonight. He as a bit more friendly, which put me in a happier mood. Last week wasn’t a whole lot of fun either! All we did was work on my arms and some abs. Tonight we did

If you’re just tuning in, I see a trainer three Wednesdays out of the month and lately I have been blogging about my mishaps afterwards. Past blunders can be found here. Believe it or not, I’m doing something right! My body fat went down by 3%. That might not seem like a lot, but when

I actually am very emotionally healthy and going to therapy every month ensures that I stay that way. I viewed our relationship as a bit more than just a

When I’m not busy making an ass out of myself at the gym or utilizing my awesome paint skillz, I’m also an advice columnist in my mind. Today, I’m thinking outside of the box and bringing that magic gift to F&F. (First I’ll talk about myself) Despite the amount of money I spend, I am

What am I hanging onto? I’ve been asking myself that a lot this last week. The situation is obviously less than ideal. If I were giving advice to anyone else I would tell them to walk and they deserve so much better. Realizing that this relationship isn’t optimal, why do I continue to prolong the

I’m taking a shower, showing off my vocal skills like the rock star I am, completely oblivious to what I’m doing. I get out, wrap my hair in a towel and dry myself off. I unwrap my hair and as soon as I pull a brush through it i ask myself out loud, “Did I
