    A Look Back at 2023: Turning Up the Metaphorical Volume

    January 21, 2024 / 0 Comments

    When it comes to my mission to rediscover myself and wake up the real me that I seem to have lost along the way, last year I feel like I made a major breakthrough and the best way I can think to describe it is that it feels like I finally found a way to slowly start turning the volume back up.

    2023 was a Strange Year…And I Don’t Know Why

    January 6, 2024 / 0 Comments

    This year was just strange and got away from me. In many ways, I feel like I didn't do much. If you look at my Bucket List and my goals I didn't meet many of them. At the same time though, as you'll see (if you choose to keep reading this ramble), I actually did do a lot. The first half of the year was filled with tons of waterfall hikes and the second half was packed with concerts (something I haven't done in years).

    The Conjuring Universe is a Disappointment

    October 25, 2023 / 0 Comments

    When we first decided to set out on this horror film marathon, I knew all along it would be turned into a blog post and planned on critiquing each movie. However, now that we are done, I just don't think the movies are worth individual critiques, so instead I will just talk about what I thought and why.

    Realizing what Neon Trees actually Means to Me

    October 19, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Last week I went to a Neon Trees concert and I realized they are like a long-distance best friend. The special kind that can go years and years without talking, but never miss a beat the moment they are back together. Confused? Let me explain.

    9 Things I No Longer Buy (Because I Make Them)

    Visiting the Oldest Operating Bob’s Big Boy

    September 10, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Bob's Big Boy - Burbank, opened its doors in 1949, but the Bob's Big Boy franchise began over a decade earlier in 1936. In 1936, Bob's Big Boy creator, Bob Wian, sold his car for $300 and bought a ten-stool lunch stand called "The Pantry" which he then changed to "Bob's Pantry." This would be the first of what would eventually become Bob's Big Boy.

    I’m Back…But Where Have I Been?

    August 20, 2023 / 0 Comments

    So where have I been? What made me take the longest break in the history of this blog? I really wish I had a cool, legitimate answer that would justify why I went missing. I wish I could say I was traveling or I got hired by an awesome sustainability outlet (anyone reading this want to hire me?). I wish I could say I bought a house or better yet a farm. It even would be at least interesting if I could come back with a story about falling while hiking

    Reflecting on my “Month of Me” – I accidentally took almost two months off

    June 16, 2023 / 0 Comments

    The last blog post I wrote was over six weeks ago, my "Month of Me" post. When I declared May the month of me and wrote that post I didn't mean to take any time off from this blog, let alone nearly two months, but looking back at it, that may have been a good thing. Even though I love writing and I love sharing, and I love writing this blog, taking the pressure of having to write every week gave me the opportunity to fully commit to my month of me and prioritize some other things. And I think I came out of the month with some good habits…
