No Title Needed.
Well, I never thought I would say this but I wish it were 2020 again… Since the last time I blogged, life got a little crazy on me. Some good, some bad, some really bad. I got myself a rescue pup – her name is Crosby. She has totally rocked Teddy and my world. She is so full of life though. She has brought new life into the family. She has a lot to learn and she turns 1 on the 30th. Can’t even believe that. She is a total mutt and it very unclear what happened to her in her early life, but it is good to have a…

Avocado Deviled Eggs
and just like that another month passed without a post… :: insert palm to face :: I needed a break from social media for a bit. The world is scary right now. I have been unplugging a lot after work.. the endless Zoom calls are getting so tiring. Not to mention my company has been struggling lately… I work in Aerospace and with Covid, well clearly things have been a bit dire in that area of work. I am very fortunate and lucky to have a job still, but it has been a uphill battle to say the least for what seems like the better portion of this year. On…

Surge Capacity
First off, there will be no recipe today, so if you are not interested in reading…just move along. (thanks Jonny) Are you feeling totally drained kind of like you did with Covid first started? You aren’t alone. I am a huge fan of Brené Brown. She has changed the way I view so many things. From her books to Netflix specials. The woman is amazing. However, during Covid she started a Podcast, and I am a podcast JUNKIE, called “Unlocking Us”. Please do yourself a favor and check it out here. Her most recent podcast On My Mind, I had so many ah-ha! moments that I figured I would share…

Zucchini Pizza Boats
End of summer… Means creative summer dishes. But first, how the heck is it already September? How did that happen? It seems like yesterday we were all watching the TV and social media to see what would unfold with Covid and the month of March was PAINFUL… and then all of a sudden… It is September. How’s that happen? I hope you are all hanging in there. I have felt extra isolated lately. I feel like I am ready for a little bit of normalcy in my life. Maybe not the returning back to the office part, at least not full weeks. I like working from home. However, being someone…

Crispy Mushrooms & Kale
Hello friends! Happy Thursday! I don’t know about you by my garden is really producing a lot of stuff now. Why does it always happen that all of the good vegetables come all at the same time? Then you have to use all of them super fast! My mom has a really beautiful garden as well and she has made just about every zucchini dish you could ever imagine. I had some kale and I needed to use it so I went searching on the interwebs for a good recipe. I came across the one that I found and honestly I was not expecting the results to be as good…

2020, can you not?
Welp. I said to myself I would write at least one post a week when I decided to start the blog back up… Guess mother nature had another idea… Last week on Tuesday New England got HAMMERED with the hurricane. It literally still looks like a bomb went off in my town. I hardly know one person in CT that didn’t either have damage from trees falling from the absolutely crazy 75mph winds OR lost power. I think just about everyone I know lost power for at least 2 days. I was without power for 4 days, thank god it came back but I was still without internet for a…

Pasta and things
Is it just me or are you waking up every day and saying… wait, what day is it? It feels so strange to be home all the time, but I will also say that I am loving being able to multi-task. I can be on a conference call and do my laundry or cook myself a meal. The only thing I worry about is when I do go back to work (which from the sounds of it won’t be until next year), how the pup will handle it. He has gotten so used to me being home, I actually was thinking about it and I hope that I can work…

10 years
I am not sure if you caught it in my last post, but it was almost 10 years TO THE DAY when I first started this blog. If you want a good laugh and horrible food pictures, check it out here. Whew. Can we just take a breath with that for a minute? 10 fucking years. Good god almighty. Let’s review things that have changed since then… I have changed companies for work…twice. I have bought and moved into new houses…twice. I GOT A DOG! I have bought 2 new cars. One being my Ford Ranger (which I currently own and love). I have been in and out of relationships…

I mean…
Well my my, what a year this has been… Between wildfires, Covid and racism… 2020 has been a trip hasn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I am kind of ready for it to be over, but while I am still in it… I thought, why not pick the blog back up? Share some things I am loving right now and maybe some things that I am not. Not sure why I didn’t think about this until now, perhaps it is because no one really knows what the hell was/is happening in the world and are just now making some adjustments as we ease into this new “normal”. What…

Resilience.
I have found that resilience is everywhere if you really want to see it. Think about it, have you ever seen a dog or cat who had to have a leg removed and after? They keep walking, jumping, running… like nothing happened. #kaitskitties I have a friend who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in her early 30s and she to this day still amazes me at how resilient she is. Every day she keeps going after one hurdle after the next. #tamsarmy Resilience is something I think we take for granted. Something we don’t always recognize. But you are. We all are. In our own ways. My therapist told me…

Hello, again.
So, hey… It has been almost 3 years since I have come back to my little corner here in the blogiverse. Life has been… well… it has been a time. Since the last time I have written here, my entire life has pretty much changed. Life hasn’t stopped happening, it has just changed… a lot. My blog that once brought me so much joy was something I felt like I couldn’t maintain anymore, because truly, I didn’t know what to say. How to explain the changes in my life, the shifts in my career, friendship, love, where I live. I didn’t know how to put on paper the enormous amount…

Thoughts
Hello Blogiverse – How have you been? I feel like it has been ages since we have spoken. I guess it has. I am sorry I haven’t been around much lately. It has been a rather….…..interesting, year. I thought that my 30s would be a turning point in my life and well, I was right, but not in the way I thought. Things I never imagined would happen; have. Things that I expected to happen; haven’t. My 30s have turned my world upside down. Many times I came onto the pages here on this enormous cyber-land and couldn’t find the words to say. Of all the words in the dictionary…
