Oh, how I used to love those little survey e-mails that my friends and I would pass around in junior high. (So much, in fact, that my maid of honor managed to use one of them in her toast at my wedding!) After I saw Tina and Chelsey post [...]
Today is the day. My first day at the Illinois chapter Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America.
Going to sleep last night was something like going to sleep before the first day of school. The routines that I know will become annoying and dull after a little while seem fresh and exciting. Here are some of [...]

These are my Confessions: Random Weird Things I Do
You all know I’m a word nerd. I’ve posted about my love of words and my love of books. But those aren’t the only things I’m a nerd about. I’m [...]
Woohoo! It’s Thursday. And after yesterday’s kind of cranky post, I think it’s time to perk things up around here. Perfect timing for a day of thankfulness, don’t you think?
Glad you agree. Let’s get to it.
I’m thankful for the incredible job I had for the last year and a half. For each [...]
I try to have a pretty positive outlook on my life with ulcerative colitis. I figure I’m stuck with it regardless of my attitude, so I might as well look on the bright side. I’ve even spent some serious time reflecting on all the gifts that my ulcerative colitis (Frank!) has [...]

While I have taken dance class before, it’s been about 15 years, and I wasn’t exactly the most coordinated young dancer.
Still, I loved dancing, and spend plenty of time [...]
It’s hard to believe that one week from today is my last day at my nanny job. When I accepted my new position, four weeks of notice seemed like a long, long time. I was itching to get in the office and get started.
I still am — I just can’t believe how [...]
I’ve never really been a TV person. I could get sucked into a marathon of pretty much anything on a lazy Saturday afternoon, but there was nothing I had to watch.
And then DVR was invented.
Now, I have no idea on what days or times the shows I watch actually air, but I spend [...]
Friends, I have a confession. If you know me in real life, you already know this about me. If you’ve read some of my posts that mention food, you may have gathered this impression. But today, I’m going to tell it like it is.
I am a picky eater. And that might be the biggest [...]
