    New Neighbor

    Last time we had groundhogs in the back yard I wrote a post about how they relate to organizational development. This time all you get is this somewhat pixilated photo.

  • Letting it Go (as many times as it takes)

    Letting it Go (as many times as it takes)

    There’s this series of games I play on my phone a lot.  Maybe more than makes sense for a grown-up lady, but that’s not an important part of the story.  A couple weeks ago I saw the series had a new game so shockingly enough I downloaded it.  Good times.  Until level 44. Level 44…

  • Spring into Colemak

    Spring into Colemak

    In a fit of enthusiasm for the challenge of learning something new, paired with the peer pressure of working in a company where all the cool kids* use use an alternate keyboard, (along with the allure of a future where I was able to type 100+ words a minute) I decided March 2015 would be the month I switched…

  • You’re a Happiness What?

    You’re a Happiness What?

    I’ve had a career full of jobs that were challenging, interesting, valuable, and fun; yet almost impossible to explain to strangers (in the amount of time strangers want to spend hearing about your job).

A nice reminder that when we only see things from one perspective we are almost…

    This blog has been seriously neglected.   I’m going to do better starting today.

    A walk I took over a month ago

    So, I started this blog with the idea that I’d share interesting tidbits from my regular life.  I even do things in my regular life and think, I’ll take photos so I can blog about this! The last step, actually writing the post in a timely manner, is still eluding me. In the spirit of…

  • My husband is more to me than a living jar-opener

    My husband is more to me than a living jar-opener

    Originally posted on Fit and Feminist: If you’ve been on the internet at all in the past week, you’ve probably already seen the Women Against Feminism tumblr going around, or at the very least read about it. I didn’t think too much of it when I saw it, for two reasons. For one, most of…

  • When in South Bend

    When in South Bend

    While my feelings about the “high church” elements of Catholicism are complicated, I love historical buildings, college campuses and all things Jed Bartlet so when I discovered a work meeting was being held 5 minutes from the Notre Dame campus, I knew a short visit was in order.  Here are the “totally don’t do the place…

    On the river

    Work conference includes a dinner cruise on the river. Pretty cool!
