Humans are the only species that senses danger and then walks right into it.
I didn’t put quotes around that because it’s not an exact quote, but I was watching Oprah today and this idea caught my attention. Her guest was Gavin De Becker, author of The Gift of Fear. The idea was that all species, [...]

why i moved blog homes
because certain people- mostly my grandma- were reading it. For some reason my parents gave it to her when I was in Mexico, but really it just makes her worry about stuff. And I don’t want to worry about censoring for my grandma. So enjoy my new home.

good days
Everytime I run across these pictures, it just makes me happy:) They’re from some kind of Christmas PJ Party that we had in middle school. I won’t even put captions on these pictures to protect the innocent. But to my middle school-and-on friends, I love you and you know who you are!

my most favorite purchase ever (or at least in the recent past)
I bought this coat at Target for $13 on clearance! And seeing as it was pretty much no degrees today in Indiana, this has really come in handy. The hood is most definitely my favorite part and I’m pretty sure I will never again buy a coat without a hood. With my new coat and [...]

There is a charming Spanish restaurant on the corner of Delaware and Ohio in downtown Indy that I had been wanting to try for awhile, Barcelona Tapas. The food was good, [...]

the man who saved my life and never knew it
Because it was debilitating. It affects the way you eat, the way you talk, the way you walk, and the way you live. For years I was haunted by the pain and embarrassment.
Smile.
Mine was inadequate. So I felt.
Overdramatic? Slightly. Overemphasized? Not a chance.
I recently had the chance to revisit the man who saved my life [...]

commonest
I have been such a bad writer, but the truth is, nothing has happened lately that I felt like writing about. So rather than talk personal things I thought I would share a word that I recently came across. Commonest. This word was in some material that I was reading for immune dysfunction and I [...]
