I love my days off. I love when I stay at home in my pajamas doing absolutely nothing, except for a big adventurous trip to Subway to eat lunch. I also love when I go out into the real world and enjoy the day while others are busy working. One of our favorite things to…

Day 8: Distract yourself
My inspirational outlet at work comes in the form of Banangram tiles. While working, I spend a fair amount of day looking for just the right word to express a given thought accurately. But what I love about these tiles is there is no “best” word (unless you’re playing strategically I guess). I get to…
Day 7: Care about Quality
My new self-proclaimed “looking away from the screen” project at work is to read through this small book called Health and Wellness: Secrets that will change your life to find sharable quotes for social media. I’m on chapter 6 entitled “You Are What You Think” and I’m sure my thoughts could be a lot more…
Day 6: Keep traditions
I’m rather forgetful. I wish I was different, that certain things sparked my memory or haunted my thoughts, but nothing sticks for too long. One of the things I’m particularly bad at is dates. I would forget my own birthday was coming if Facebook didn’t remind me of it. So of course, as life often…
Day 5: Look up
Today’s was that day we all look forward to with excitement and anticipation. Jury duty day! I spent hours and hours sitting in a room with 50 strangers to fulfill our civic duty of being there just in case we could participate in the justicial process. Long story short, there was not a single case…
Day 4: Signatures
Day four is ending after midnight, so this is one of those “to not break the habit” posts. We had a fabulous day roaming around DC. One of the highlights for me might have been the signature collection at the National Archives. Yes, seeing THE Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights was enough to make…
Day 3: Enjoy!
Welcome to day 3! It’s been a lazy Saturday with relatively little drama. We learned a bit more about the inner workings of generosity this morning at church and celebrated our 11 month anniversary. It may not sound like a long time, but being locked up in a tiny apartment with me for 11 months…
Day 2: Enjoy the drive home
Some days are not terrible, but not the greatest either. Ok, maybe most days are like that. It’s actually pretty rare to get one of those “amazing” days. That’s not to say that the other normal days aren’t worth it, in fact those are the days that make up the grand majority of life. So…
Day 1: Ask Questions
Welcome to my new year’s resolution. Yes, most people do that on January 1, but you may know this by now, I’m not most people. Why can’t I start a year-long adventure on November 13? Let’s start this journey together.My goal until November 12, 2015 is to share 1 thing I learn each day. I’ll…
The office is the new classroom
Did you ever read the book, All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarden? I remember that being such a innovative piece for its time, though I never read it. However the concept was still clear, what are the basic life lessons that can be applied to adult life? It’s a brilliant philosophy…
