Pretty things: special cupcake delivery

My job gets pretty busy and stressful every April.  Lots of long hours, lots of planning and stress.  I was having a particularly bad day and texting my husband that I was feeling down, but as this is a common occurrence I thought nothing of it. 

A few hours later, I came back to my desk to find a special delivery from Sweet on Newbury Street.  He figured I needed a pick-me-up and a sugar rush.  I had a lemon cupcake and shared the rest with my coworkers.  We all appreciated his kindness.

I am a very lucky girl.

I'm getting the band back together

Why hello.

Back in the day, when I was a young thing in my early-mid twenties, I used to fancy myself a blogger and blog.  Quite a bit.  About things around my town.  Thoughts.  People who meant a lot to me.  Projects I was accomplishing.  Then, after one snow storm, I stopped completely.

(it wasn't because of the snow storm)

I stopped because I felt like I had lost my mid-twenties voice.  I didn't know what I wanted to say, and felt like I was just adding to the noise the internet can be sometimes.  And it wasn't enjoyable anymore.

I took over a year off.  In that year, I got married.  Worked hard.  Prepared to move.  Guest wrote on other people's blogs, which I always wildly enjoyed. 

One late night, talking with my husband in bed, we were talking about what we wanted to do with our lives.  He wanted to make movies with his best friends.  I wanted to be a professional writer.  So he suggested the name of this blog and that I go back and do it.

So I did.  Here we are again.

I'm going to change my scope to try and focus on those three things:  nostalgia, facts, and pretty things.  Chances are some personal stories will pop in from time to time, but I'm going to try and keep names out of this to keep it on this focus. 

Here we go again.
