It is Sunday night after a nice, long, very lazy four day weekend. I have watched movies, curled up on a blanket under my sofa; I’ve fielded text messages from former coworkers telling me how jealous of me they are; I’ve read an entire book and had a dance party to Paul Simon’s Graceland CD; [...]
Back in December, while sitting at home in my parents house, I made the vow that I would find a new job by February 1st. I was having a good month at work and had an even better month in January but it had been a year and a half and I was going in [...]

On New Years Eve, the last day of a year that I’d personally would love to forget existed, the winds in Boulder picked up to ridiculous, can’t-even-walk speeds. It was as if Boulder wanted to get rid of 2011 just as badly as I did, blowing it out of town along with any extra leaves [...]
Home to me has always been a fluid thing. I grew up moving every couple years with the majority of my time spent on the east coast in Connecticut.
