It’s weird, after spending a lot of time disliking my job so much, I was beginning to think that I just wasn’t passionate about web design anymore. I used to love being a web designer, I even loved telling people I was a web designer. You see, the problem with my current job is that...

Last weekend was free day at the Museum of Nature and Science and the Denver Zoo. I had never been to the zoo before and the last time I was at the Museum was years ago, so we thought it would be fun to go, despite the throngs of people. What I particularly loved about...

I am feeling particularly negative these days. Note to self: don’t take a tropical vacation just before winter begins. We just got back from Mexico last week and while it was still a warm fall after we got back, the weather just turned cold last night. I hate the cold weather, I just can’t seem...

I haven’t been very good about keeping up with my gratitude posts and I have so much to be grateful for! (I have decided that whenever I am feeling down or jealous or angry, I am going to write down at least 5 things that I am grateful for. I may end up repeating myself...
