Yesterday, I wrote about social media and how it was nice to have a parenting community. Today, it’s all about books! I love reading – I can easily spend days and days reading and not get sick of it. When I was a kid (well..honestly, now too), I would get so lost in a bookContinue reading “Virtual Book Lovers Clubs”

Romances
So one of my hobbies is reading. These days, I mainly read romances since I use books as a way to escape the stress and drama in life – and I want a happy ending damn it! It’s hard for me to find authors though that have characters that won’t annoy me. I want aContinue reading “Romances”
Why I don’t use a Mac
So things are a little better now, but the only reason I don’t use a Mac is because of Microsoft Office. The usability just isn’t the same on a Mac, and there are some defaults in a Windows machine that make more sense. For example, a couple of years ago, we found out that OfficeContinue reading “Why I don’t use a Mac”
Unconventional Relationship
Sometimes I like to reflect on my relationship with the mister – we’ve been together over a dozen years now. I love our relationship, and I think it’s because we go against a lot of what society says should be. I look at a lot of other relationships where (at least from the outside lookingContinue reading “Unconventional Relationship”
Introvert versus Extrovert Family Texts
So, while my immediate family and I are all introverts, the exact opposite is the case with my hubs and the in-laws. It is definitely interesting to see the differences and interactions in each family. This is especially noticeable via texts, since we try to send the same ones to both families when it involvesContinue reading “Introvert versus Extrovert Family Texts”
The Therapy Paradox
You know what I realized recently while dealing with my postpartum depression/anxiety? The paradox of having to find a therapist when you need it, but not having the mental strength to find one when you need it. In those first two to three months postpartum, I was a hot mess. Sleep deprived. Exhausted. Feeling inept.Continue reading “The Therapy Paradox”
Asian squat
Ever heard of the Asian squat? Apparently, it’s a squatting position where your heels are flat on the ground, and something that Asians naturally do. I hadn’t realized it until I saw this video “Can you do the Asian squat?” and immediately went to my white hubs (though he was still my boyfriend at theContinue reading “Asian squat”
Engagement
This post is a little bit of travel, since I’ll be talking about Cinque Terre, Italy and a little bit about relationships and humor, since it involves my engagement story. So, my engagement was actually a surprise to me – we’re a big “discuss major decisions” couple and early on, we had discussed/agreed that marriageContinue reading “Engagement”
“You might’ve been switched at birth”
There’s a couple of DNA tests out there that will tell you the different ethnicities/origins of your genetics. I’ve never really been interested, since I figured my family hasn’t really had a great mix of ethnicities in our background. But, my sister decided to do the 23 and me one. I figure, her results wouldContinue reading ““You might’ve been switched at birth””
ISFJ – Defender/Protector
So, I always have mixed feelings about personality tests/leadership theories. It’s always useful to do self reflection, but i think leadership theories and advice should always be taken with caution. Stone things work better with certain personalities in certain industries and environments then others. Anyways, one of the ones I’ve taken is the Myers-Briggs test.Continue reading “ISFJ – Defender/Protector”
