After this past week, I am thoroughly bruised and battered– both physically and emotionally. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week and I’m just happy it’s done. There are many reasons for the bruises but the apparent ones come from moving. In true Ashley fashion, I waited until the last minute to pack and get [...]
I meant to write all about New York and how much fun it was (SO MUCH FUN) and about the wedding and all that fun stuff that I did over three weeks ago when I returned to that city that never sleeps (and boy, did I not sleep). Then I worked seven days in a [...]
New York is a sensory experience. It hits you as soon as you enter the city–even before maybe. That vast skyline that seems to go on forever, the shining lights, the glow that emanates from the buildings. Some call that light pollution. I call it New York’s way of making sure those who retire to [...]
Participating in Chelsea‘s Ten on Tuesday again today! Feel free to answer the questions in the comments! 1. What is a food that you never thought you would try, but then tried and liked? Ox tongue. I have always been a little squeamish about animal organs, especially if they are organs that can be found [...]
Did you know that you can find Ashalah all over the web? It’s TRUE! I can be heard a LOT on Twitter. I tend to go a little quote crazy on Tumblr. I even have a Facebook page you can become a fan of (and you totally should). You can see daily pictures of my [...]
Do you know that it has been one year and four months since I last left the country? That I have an EXPIRED passport? I am the worst nomad EVER. With two New York City trips and a possible Minnesota trip for weddings this year (SO FAR.), and a trip to Wyoming to visit my [...]
I’ve been pretty self-occupied lately; I’ve been listening to certain songs on repeat, yelling at my cat for destroying everything she comes near (latest disaster: knocking the mirror off my fireplace and somehow not breaking it too badly), crying and whining a lot. I’ve been…pretty bad off. But this post isn’t about that. I am [...]
Apparently I’ve reached the age where not only is everyone getting married, but they’re all having BABIES.Weddings are fun and all but babies? I’m old enough for that? Considering my baby brother just turned 25 and is officially old enough to actually have children (DEAR GOD THAT IS A SCARY THOUGHT), I think it’s time [...]
I had a post written all out. All about how I was feeling empowered and strong about this whole situation. I have many moments, hours even, where I feel this way. That I know how much more I deserve. How I will find love. I even feel borderline happy. And then I’ll find myself walking [...]
Sometime right after Thanksgiving, I went to get my car registered. It was my first time dealing with Colorado’s Department of Motor Vehicles (affectionately now known as the Mother Fucking Department of Motor Vehicles) and I had no idea that I had just walked into Hell. They apparently hide Hell in a semi-run down little [...]
