I can’t quite remember the first time I realized that my mom knew her stuff, but I do remember the phrase she used to show me. It’s one that has guided me through crushes, friendships, and disappointments – one that’s taught me that there’s only so much I can control before it (whatever it is) [...]

Fail Safe

“So today, KT, we’re going to work to failure…”
Failure. Shit.
I stared down my trainer with definite wariness.
He’s a fifty-something black former Navy Seal who cuts to the quick both verbally and when he’s piling weight on one of the machines he has me using. His name is Vince.
I’ve never been an athlete. Never even really [...]

So you may have noticed I’ve been a little MIA lately. I’ve had blog-block. Funny, random and awkward things keep happening, but I have no clue how to sort them into coherent thoughts to share with you all. After receiving a slight onslaught of complaints for my inactivity, I’ve finally sat down to write something…
Like many [...]
The WHOOPS I Love You
Posted in ...So It Goes, WorkingGirl, aWkWARD, tagged Accidents, Blush, Boss, Conversations, I Love You, OfficeTalk, Phone, Work on March 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »
My job consists of constant interaction with Excel and Outlook and limited interaction with people. Occasionally my phone rings and I answer it and speak for a few moments. I repeat this once or twice a day. Most often it’s Boss or Colleague. They call for two reasons: one, to cover daily tasks or two, [...]
It’s Ash Wednesday and Thus I Feel Compelled to Confess…
Posted in ...So It Goes, aWkWARD, tagged addictions, Beer, British humour, confessions, Guinness, Kleptomania, pinch*, Pint glasses, stealing on February 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
This is probably the closest I’ll get to the 25 things fad I’ve previously discussed. As mentioned, I’m not likely to ever do it, but do enjoy learning the occasional tid-bit about a friend/acquaintance. The aforementioned “This” is my Ash Wednesday confession. No I’m not Catholic, but…recognizing this day on the religious calendar gives me [...]
Acute Viral Rhinopharyngitis

Yeah…I’ve got that.
One thing you should know about me is that I rarely get sick, but when I do, my whole body ceases to function as a coherent unit. My brain takes leave, my ears pop out for a break, my legs race in opposing directions…you get the point.
People notice. “Wow, you don’t look so [...]
Find Love in the Little Things.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
Check out this article by the Washington Post. It may make you smiggle or groan. And it may shock you at how much a person can say about a relationship in six words.
He brought me breakfast in bed.
The string holding my ring–broken.
It’s kind of fun to describe love in six little words.

I took a bite of the Apple

And for now, a taste was all I needed.
A few weeks ago, I left The Big Apple and headed south. And while I knew I would definitely miss it, it’s fun to reflect on the time I spent there. For my last two weeks in New York (i.e. my two weeks notice), I stayed with [...]
