Read. Write. Rinse. Repeat.
The other day I ordered something off of Amazon. Since it was rather large I had it shipped to my apartment instead of delivered to the office because I wasn’t sure it would fit safely in my car. In the past I have never had a problem getting deliveries at home. However, my apartment complex… Continue reading Why do you get to make the rules?
For the past several years I have worked with the same auditor every time I traveled for work. After spending nearly a full week (5 days, breakfast to dinner) with this auditor every year--plus the conversations leading up to and following the audits--it was easy to develop a personal realationship with him as well as a work one. While… Continue reading Managing Business Relationships
I’ve been asking around, and it appears I have an “above average” number of bookshelves in my home. Currently I have 4 ACTUAL bookshelves as well as one of those 9-cube bookshelves that has 7/9 of the cubes full of books. This does not include the random books that are proudly displayed on top of… Continue reading Do I Really Need Another Bookshelf?
As part of the Body Kindness book that I'm working through, one of the things I decided to track to help "make me happier" is the Joy Bombs I experience each day... Okay, so three each day, not all of them. The Idea behind this is that by focusing on the good things that happened,… Continue reading Joy Bombs
One of the things I have been working on during my “Body Kindness” journey is listening to my body. Really listening. When I go to the grocery store, I browse around a bit, look at all the different options and think, “What do I want to eat this week?” or “What looks good?” Then I… Continue reading The Perils of the Toasted PB&J
For my return flight home, the auditor had a flight at 2, and mine was scheduled for 7:45. I anticipated having some more time to kill at the airport, and this time I went into it with a bit of a plan. Hour One (12:30-1:30) The first thing I did upon arrival to the airport (after… Continue reading Round 2 at the Airport
Do you remember the first book you ever read? I mean, the actual first one, and not one about watching Spot run? I do; and at an attempt for originality, it was The Frog Prince. I remember this book very specifically. We ordered it from Scholastic in a two-pack where the other book was “Harry… Continue reading The First Book I Ever Read?
The other day I traveled to Boston for work. The flight itself was (amazingly) uneventful, but once I arrived to Logan Airport in Boston, I had FIVE hours to kill as I waited for the auditor’s flight to arrive. You might ask "What does one do for 5 hours at the Boston Logan International Airport?… Continue reading 5…4…3…2…1… Hours at the Airport
Side Note: On the day I wrote this I already had another blog written and ready to go; so this is not actually about last night, but the moral of the story is the same. "Ugh. It's been a rough day," I said to my mom as I was driving home for work at 9:50 last… Continue reading It’s Been A Rough Day
“Who is your favorite author?” It is a question I get asked a lot, especially once I’ve told someone how much I love to read. I usually respond with a name, but if I’m being honest, that name changes depending on what I’m reading at the moment. It can be near impossible to pick a… Continue reading Authors I Love – Ann M. Martin
