Okay, raise your hands ladies. How many of you have said this? I’m guessing most of you. I used to do that. I would probably say that before every question I asked. Then one day at work, about 2 years ago, my boss held a meeting for my department. You see, my department was all women and there was one thing she was done hearing. Can you guess what it was? That’s right: “I have a stupid question”. She was done. She never wanted to hear any of us say that again. Do you know why? You’re putting yourself down every time you say that. No boss wants a stupid…

Losing Weight Sucks.
There I said it. Losing weight seriously sucks. It sucks bad. I know everyone tries to make it super positive and motivational and easy, but sometimes…it. just. sucks. Sometimes I don’t want to be positive. Maybe, I just want to let you my inner fat girl and let her fly. So I can sit on my living room floor again with a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, eating chinese honey chicken and green beans, double chocolate chip cookies from Subway, cheesy breadsticks from Pizza Hut, french fries from Hardees, and popcorn from the local movie theater. Yes. You read that correctly. I used to do that. If I had a really…

Living by the Little Apple.
Now that we are officially settled into our home (which is a short…10 miles? from Manhattan), I will be spending a lot more time focusing on this blog. For the past couple years I’ve used this blog just as a tool to write a little bit, get some stuff on paper, metaphorically. Now, I’ve decided to dedicate it more towards life in Kansas. Since Manhattan has K-State and is so close to Ft. Riley, we get a lot of ‘outsiders’ in the area. A lot of them think there is nothing to do here. I want to prove them wrong. Kansas has always been my home, and probably always will. Kansas…

Okay y’all. Our insurance agent is a former classmate of mine. And whenever he pays us a visit to update things he brings us…. RUNZA!! Because he lives in Nebraska, and I love Runza. And because he is the best insurance agent ever!

New Pillows!!
Pillows. In the living room. Aka…for the couch and chairs. This has been an ongoing argument since June when we bought our new couches. These are 100% the ugliest pillows I’ve ever seen (or owned) in my entire life! If you like them, congrats! I still have the covers and would love the send them to you! In reality, the leathery brown side (which is exactly like the couch, which makes sense because they came together) is super comfy and nice to nap on, but the other side…*shudder*. Our house has a lot of brown, so I really wanted to pull some color up from the rug. Because these do.…

The Second Me.
A new girl started in my department at work. She sits across from me, so I get to see her every day. And guess what? That’s right. We share a name. (Even though hers is spelled wrong….) Even better…she is just as weird as I am! She also loves hot dogs just as much as I do!

3 Years.
It has officially been three years with this guy. Some days it’s easy. Some days it’s hard. Some days I really wish I could chop off certain body parts. I don’t share much about our relationship on social media. I don’t really want us to be one of those couples that only shares the good things, but I also don’t want us to be one of those couples that airs our dirty laundry online. I feel like some things should stay a little bit private. All I can say is that we fight and argue, and then we love, laugh and play, and I cry and we sleep and work…
