what do you do all day?

I’m referring to you out there, specifically the people with desk jobs. What the hell do you do all day? I know what other employees do. Hair dressers cut, color and style hair. Construction workers build things. Teachers teach. Nannies, like myself, follow around small children and do whatever they tell us to do (nope, [...]

damn you wordpress.

So I got the usual update notice and hit update. Unfortunately, it was a theme update and thus I lost all my theme customizations. Google results suggest it was because I was not working in a child theme, but I am working in Hybrid Child soooo… excuse the mess and if you have any idea [...]

biggest travel confession.

261696_1608958673751_5994267_n

One of my favorite bloggers in the world and sure-to-be-best-friend (once I actually get my butt up to Norway so we can meet) tagged me in this biggest travel confessions game.

Leermos Austria

Here are some photos I snapped from my balcony and from my hike yesterday. I’m not going to write anymore because it’s beautiful outside despite the high chance or rain today, so time to enjoy it while I still can. No complaints here as I’m getting paid to be here – like what? Thankful, I [...]

German mattresses are like an upgraded version of the mattress you slept on at summer camp. The pillows are sometimes hard to call pillows. There’s [...]

i have a secret.

Alex glasses

I have eyeglasses*. I’m pretty sure 95 percent of my friends don’t know this either. This is probably because I never wear my glasses. I also probably don’t wear them because 1) my vision doesn’t typically bother me and 2) they don’t do anything good for me. I envy my trendy friends when their glasses* [...]

So I have had the same bedding in my home bedroom since I was 15. This does not bother me in the least bit. I think it’s a bit of nostalgia and letting my high school self still live on in my home bedroom. Plus, it’s not like I live in it anymore. Anyway, it [...]

Despite reading it weekly, I’m linking up for the first time with Gentri Lee’s 7 Questions. 1) It’s back to school time. Are YOU going back to school? Um, I wish. I graduated over a year ago, like what?! I wish I could stick around long enough for just one Texas football game. Dear Graduate [...]
