sometimes weekends are filled to the brim with plans. sometimes they aren't. and sometimes their scheduled activities fall somewhere in between. this past 48-hour work-freefest began as the former, ended up as the latter but was no less glorious as a result. and i suppose the culprits for most of the change in plans were none other ...

sole renewal
i love shoes. but then again, i think that comes with having double x chromosomes. i also have larger-than-the-average-sized petunia (petunia = a name i am giving to petite girls who seem to have the perfect little ballerina-sized tootsies) feet. they also may or may not be wider-than-the-average-sized petunia, too. so you know, they've presented their challenges over ...
from the archives
so i'm totally ready to return to those times when all i seem to do is write about me and dating and our awkward relationship, k? you're so relieved, aren't you? ok, so i was just doing a little perusing through some old blog posts on the former home of tjnt&rs (rolls right off the tongue, ...
wanderlust
wanderlust noun. a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about. with each new calendar year comes a blank 365 days. 365 fresh canvases to splatter with the paint of life (how's that for a metaphor?). and one of the things i love most about those unmarked 24-hour increments is the fact that i can fill them ...
on looking back
ah, nostalgia. like that nasty winter flu everyone and their mother seems to be coming down with these days (as she coats her hands with purell), i am currently nursing a bad case of nostalgia. i'm not exactly sure what has brought it on, but i suspect it might have something to do with the fact that i ...
the fashion lottery
i stand (firmly) behind the belief that you can never truly rule out an article of clothing until you try it on. i almost passed up my senior year homecoming dress by not following this advice. but lucky for me, i told that little voice inside my head screaming, "nah, it's kind of a funky color," ...
delay vs. denial
i by no means consider myself a serious person, because let's be honest, seriousness is kind of overrated (unless the situation calls for it, then of course it should definitely be adhered to). so for the most part, i would rather approach life with awkward pauses, a bad case of sarcasm and copious amounts of ...
highlight reels
clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. yes, i'll quote it now and i'll quote it forever (texas, forever), because everything about my beloved friday night lights television series is in my (clear) eyes, perfect. ok, so maybe "perfect" is too strong of a sentiment, but let's just say it comes pretty darn close to that. much like my ability to ...
the big reveal
i might not seem like the sorority type; you know the kind of images that instantly pop into mind when the words "sorority girl" are uttered in casual conversation: wet t-shirt contests (sorry, mom & grandma), jello shots, lower-back tattoos and overall mayhem confined to a house ridden with greek symbols and pink. and obviously i ...
tradition
saturdays have always been filled with routines: softball practices. football games. sorority events and for a time, even workdays. monotony. but the good kind of monotony -the kind that makes you look forward to the end of the week before its even begun (ok, so maybe not the workday part). i don't think anyone wakes up ...
