Thanks for all of your lovely “no-more-sads” suggestions! It’s great to have such a wonderful community here to chat with and get feedback.
I think my favorite suggestion came from Bethany, who suggested volunteering, which is something I don’t do enough of and should be doing more of anyway. It also gave me an idea for a project at work, which I hope I can get approved.

i has a sad
You guys are smart! What are some of your tricks for getting over a sad slump?
Between majorly missing family and home (yes, I know I was just there, but it’s hard not being there right now), contemplating life changes, working to keep my job and more, I’ve just been le sad. And I feel bad because John is the one who always has to deal with me when I start crying right after...

spramped asked: What part of Michigan are you coming too?
I go home tomorrow. For nine whole days.
Terribly excited doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Just wanted to thank you all for your kind notes, thoughts and prayers. My poppacita is doing well, but is in a lot of pain (as one would be after surgery!) But he’s in good spirits and is anxious to be mobile again.
Once again, I am in awe of the amazing people in this community. Thank you!

This is such exciting news! I loved this book; it was the first post-college (during my commute via el for a summer) book that I read and I recommended it to my Chicago friends and family to read it, too. Reading about the development of the Columbian Exposition is so interesting for those into history, especially the history of our fine city. But the story of Dr. H. H. Holmes...
This was a good weekend, save for Saturday night, which made me thankful that I am 27 and no longer in my early-20s. Because that age-range is hard and can make you do crazy things that drive other people nuts.

Kinda cute, from ModCloth. I’d wear it with a big ol’ necklace (though that wouldn’t be necessary), black tights and pumps.
Must. Own. This.

Sorry for spamming you with GPOYW on a Tuesday.
I knew I never should have trusted the set-publish function!
I was really feeling anti-social this last week and weekend. Sometimes Often this happens to me. Particularly when I’m stressed, or sad, or worrying about things. I think I’ve been all three for the last month.
So, today, I figured it was time to stop being mopey and anti-social and actually do something. This morning I put on an outfit that made me feel cute. And I kicked ass at...

John: We could drive to NPR, park there, run up the street to get a few cupcakes, then take the Circulator over to Georgetown. How about it?
me: You are amazing.

Just in case you were wondering what I was, based on the clue I left on my clock post — yes, I was The White Rabbit (substituting a Flavor Flav-style clock for an overisized pocket watch). And Jodi was Alice (in Wonderland) — AWWWW COUPLES COSTUME.

things that made my morning
bus arriving approximately two seconds after I arrived at the bus stop
empty seats! usually unheard of at 8:30 in the morning
discovering that the cafeteria at work sells celery sticks and peanut butter
booking a big guest for a live q&a
All of this helped me forget the fact that I
forgot a belt for my jeans
forgot my watch
forgot earrings
but I DID remember my lunch (priorities,...
