2012, in a nutshell.

Better late than never- 2012 in a nutshell




January: I received a hilarious and somewhat sad note from a substitute teacher while I was out of work for an afternoon. 

February: This was an interesting month with a high on Valentine's Day and a low just before my birthday when I wrecked my car. Luckily the year just got better!

March: This was a quiet month but I did manage to see Fun. play a show in Carrboro.

April: I met a few celebrities in NYC and at the end of the month, I got to meet one of my oldest friend's baby girl, Estelle.

May: Another one of my best and oldest friends got married in our hometown.

June: I finished up my first year of teaching, went to DC, and started taking guitar lessons with the raddest instructor around. What a month!

July: I went to weddings and saw lots of good friends. 

August: I spent most of this month in coffee shops applying to jobs and watching the Olympics. 

September: What a busy month! We had our very first book club meeting and I went to HopScotch Music Festival in Raleigh, saw Florence and the Machine and Ben Folds. And my baby niece turned into a teenager...where does the time go?

October: I spent the month working on Obama's campaign by doing all sorts of crazy things. And it was awesome.

November: Obama won the election!

December: A piece I wrote was featured in PineStraw magazine! (on pg. 75, to be specific)

Let the games begin!

Oh happy day! Abby and Guion are here for the weekend and the Olympics begin tonight. Every couple of years I'm interested in a wide range of sports for about two weeks. This year is no different. I plan on spending the weekend in full red, white and blue outfits cheering for team America. And going to my last wedding of 2012 on Sunday (I even bought a blue dress for that).

On being single.



My hilarious (and single) friend Amber shared this on Facebook the other day. I loved it. 

I'm at the beach until Friday trying to control my excitement about the Olympics! Oh, the perks of summer.

Decisive Wednesday

Today's Decisions:


- I will begin measuring major life goals in terms of the Olympics ("Oh, that's at least two winter Olympics away before I have to start worrying about buying a house," etc.)
- The early bird does get the metaphorical worm.
- Survivors of the Titanic would not find this shirt comical.
- I must have this coat.
- Zooey Deschanel's divorce is much more unfortunate than Kim Kardashian's.
