A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. It's time to admit . . . I have an addiction. I went to JoAnn's - my craft Mecca - to purchase. More paper-organizing products, because what I have is currently getting out of hand and hard to organize. Perhaps this is because. Well. Apparently . . . I CAN’T STOP BUYING PAPER. I almost bought more tonight. Of some 4x6 Jewel tones, in case you’re wondering. Because I don’t have that yet. I shoul...

kelarious: Catching up on Life with My Baby Giant
http://kelarious.blogspot.com/2014/02/catching-up-on-life-with-my-baby-giant.html
A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Friday, February 7, 2014. Catching up on Life with My Baby Giant. Wrigley is turning a year old in a week. This seems completely unfathomable to me. Didn’t I just get her? She's still such a puppy! How can she be ONE already? And yet . . . Haven't I had her forever? Isn't she going on 13 already? As some friends recently commented, and I concur . . . I can't remember what my life was like B. Turned into this puppy:.

A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Wrigley at Eleven Months. Wrigley has changed so much since I got her (and wrote that first post), it feels impossible to catch up. Especially since I live with the aforementioned puppy. So I'm going to attempt to continue to catch up on our life together, but today I'll focus on the now. Things I want Wrigley to learn:. 1 All of the above, without needing to practice. 1 Anything peanut butter.

kelarious: August 2012

A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Monday, August 13, 2012. A few more Olympic Thoughts. I promised a second round of Olympic questions, and while I’ve been keeping a running list, I’ve clearly run out of time. But I’m enjoying the Closing Ceremony, so it seems as though there’s no time like the present. My buddy Brian Williams even did a little segment. Inspired, I’m sure, by my blog. How can Keri Walsh-Jennings play volleyball with a watch on? Why is e...

A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Be Here. Now. Back when I used to work for a different Big Ten university, I had the opportunity to go to a one or two-day-long seminar on . . . . shoot . . . something - change management/campus climate/etc. (oops! We talked about the concept of "Be Here Now," and apparently that's all I retained. Probably because I got this cute desk plate:. Washing the dishes from the snack? Until I came...

A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Monday, May 6, 2013. Impatient and Frustrated, Party of One. If you've met me, and I can only assume that if you're reading this, you have, then you know I tend toward the impatient end of the spectrum. Especially if it's something for or about myself. I can be very patient with others, but rarely with myself. [Unless they're drivers. Then all bets are off. But that's a whole other post.]. Seriously, it's getting better...

kelarious: An Ode to the Brownie

A few thoughts on life, work and the random, hilarious stuff that happens in between. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. An Ode to the Brownie. No, I’m not talking about the small girls who sell amazing cookies, though y’all probably know I love the Girl Scouts, they hold a very special place in my heart. So, instead of investing in skates from the beginning, I bought really good safety gear and borrowed skates from the roller rink. I was able to learn A LOT of new skills on my borrowed brownies:. So while I am ve...

Bravely Obey: Things I've learned after being a mom for two whole weeks:
http://bravelyobey.blogspot.com/2014/12/things-i-learned-after-being-mom-for.html
Friday, December 26, 2014. Things I've learned after being a mom for two whole weeks:. My nine year old son is adorable and reserved, and some days just watching him sleep is enough to make me cry. We need more cups with lids. I feel like I've known him forever and he absolutely belongs in our family. And then I'll suddenly be reminded of how much of his day to day life up until now we know very little about. We know the big stuff, but the little stuff we don't. Like what movies has he seen? The constant...

Bravely Obey: Nine Monumental Little Weeks
http://bravelyobey.blogspot.com/2015/02/nine-monumental-little-weeks.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Nine Monumental Little Weeks. We've known and loved Xavier for just about nine weeks now. Xavier can be confounding and lovable and needy and handsome and sweet and challenging and ours, he is so totally ours. He is constantly asking questions. At least when he's awake. He has embraced being a part of our family so quickly. Quicker than we dreamed was possible. He is already Xavier Sands on every homework assignment. He loves being our son, at least until it's ti...Sometimes...
