On Sunday, I went to my parents’ house for breakfast. My little brother was manning pancake production and I was sitting around being entirely unhelpful. Pretty much it was the way it always was when we were growing up and it was time to make breakfast.
I did chatter incessantly at everyone, keeping up my [...]
When I was 20 years old, I was rushed home from college by a concerned father while my mother, in mama-bear mode, demanded appointments with doctors. That same day, I met my first GI doctor, and I loved him. I was frail, in immense pain, and scared. He was warm, kind, and reassuring. He [...]
File this one under “Oh my goodness do I need a Thankful Things Thursday today.” Yesterday, I saw a new GI doctor. I had some questions that I needed to get answered and wasn’t crazy about the ones I was getting. It was time for a second opinion. (More on that later.) New GI Doctor [...]
First off, oh my goodness, I can’t believe it’s been more than a week since I last posted. I was gone most of last week, traveling for work (and yes, as one of my friends put it, I did feel all “Corporate Barbie” with my laptop and work travel.) I am starting to wonder how [...]
I spent most of my twenty-seventh birthday in bed.
After staying up until just past midnight to properly squeal with excitement at the arrival of my birthday, I headed to bed with a little pinching feeling in my colon. I figured it was thanks to birthday pizza and cocktails, and that my body would shake [...]
Today, I turn 27.
Don’t be fooled. I’m not a grown-up yet, but I’m working on it. And I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I want to be when I grow up. Follow along with my birthday silliness today, if you please.
When I grow up, I’d like to be a combination of [...]
Have I mentioned that my birthday is coming up? Because it is. I turn 27 this Saturday, and I’m wavering between ridiculous excitement for my birthday and utter disbelief that I’m turning 27 years old. (I know. I know. It’s not that old. But it’s late twenties, for crying out loud.)
I plan on celebrating like [...]
Because I’ll take any excuse to write a blog post of randomness, I was delighted to see that Amy tagged me in a post, asking me to share 11 random things with all of you. But in an exciting twist, instead of just sharing 11 things about myself, I’m going to tell [...]
Is it too soon to say I’m in love with my new job? How long does it take to fall in love with something? More than one week? Probably, but I don’t care. I’ll shout it from the rooftops and post the same damn picture I’ve been posting since I made my little [...]
It’s Thursday! Day four of my new job, and I am completely exhausted. There’s always that adjustment period, isn’t there? Where you come home from work and just collapse? Right now I’m doing this: come home, eat dinner, pack lunch for the next day, wash face, brush teeth, pick out clothes for the next day…
