New Home, New Stress, and No Organization

Makeshift Desk in Kitchen

Ugh, and yet again, I have been a terrible blogger and haven’t posted this week outside of my Links I Love. This week has just been insanely busy! In addition to working on two clients plus a major proposal for a third client, I also had my big move from my apartment to the house on Wednesday. I still have a few things left at my old apartment (probably two or three carloads worth?) but for the most part, I’m moved over. Woo hoo! So much space that I don’t yet know what to do with all of it 🙂 …

Overscheduling and Maxing Out My Relationships

Bachelor Season Premiere: Prince Farming

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out and overscheduled. I feel like I haven’t had much time all by myself (this weekend not withstanding), and as my post yesterday illustrated, I’ve been neglecting some of the basic maintenance tasks in my life. For example, I haven’t taken my car to the car wash in months (ew), and the dining room table in my apartment is building up a pretty big stack of papers/bills “to deal with later.” However, the ugly truth about why I’m so stressed out is: I totally brought it on myself. And …

Still not done with my Melbourne race report – it is coming though! And now I have a deadline because I just signed up for the Lost Dutchman Marathon in Arizona next weekend for Valentine’s Day. Getting all backed up on race reports seems like a dumb idea, because that’s when I end up never completing reports for some of my most epic races. So I need to get on the ball with this one, and am hoping to get it done tomorrow or Monday. But in the meantime! Wanted to give a quick shoutout to an app I love: …

An Unscheduled Weekend of Mishaps

This was kind of a weekend of mishaps – in large part due to some really unstructured time management on my part. On Friday night, I was supposed to meet up with a friend for dinner. Unfortunately, on Thursday night, I had gotten less than two hours of sleep – partly the result of me refusing to give up on a social activity that night even though I had work to do, and partly because… there was just so much work to do! All week I hadn’t been sleeping enough, so Friday morning I regretfully texted my friend to cancel …

Thanksgiving For Nerds: Easy Excel Menu, Recipes, Automated Grocery List Maker, and Timeline

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only one week away?? Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday – so many wonderful people gathered around one table, so much delicious food, and so much glorious time spent prepping for it! Wait… what? I’m sure many of you are surprised at that last part. Many people seem to hate prepping for Thanksgiving because of the stress it creates. Thanksgiving dinner is a pretty high-profile meal, and everyone has their own expectations of what dishes should be on the table and exactly how they should be prepared. Stuffing cooked inside the bird or outside? Homemade …
