For the longest time, spring was my favorite season. It means baseball, sunshine, cool breezes, and life blooming. Super rugby has already started and summer is on the horizon with its concert season and lazy days. I loved spring and scoffed at the other seasons. Now? I still love spring but I’ve come to appreciate…
TWITL – week eleven – end of the quarter
The third quarter of the school year ended on Friday, marking the beginning of Spring Break. MOST GLORIOUS! I am making some long weekends to break up the two weeks. It’ll be awesome! a year ago, in the wee hours A year ago was Tyler’s last show at the G Bar. Now he has his…
TWITL – week ten – daylight savings time
We changed the time today and oh how glad I am that I took a nap yesterday. As much as I love spring, I dread “spring forward” because my head cannot let go of the notion that I’m “losing” that hour. I like having that hour! Can we just agree on one thing and go…
TWITL – week nine – rain and sunshine
Ahh, the weather this week. The most constant was the cold, which I didn’t mind at all. Sometimes the sun shone, sometimes the rain fell. I liked when the rain fell because afterwards the air would feel fresh and alive. So beautiful. The Farmers Market opened up this weekend so we spent our Saturday downtown…
TWITL – week eight – wintery week & HBD to @TylerRichMusic #TheDifference
It actually felt like winter this week. I LOVE when the highs barely reach the 60s. I like wearing sweaters and jackets and hoodies and beanies and gloves. Our winters are never very long or very cold so I tend to enjoy the touch of winter. I stayed up on Friday night to watch my…
TWITL – week seven – fangirl highs & lows
It’s been an awesome week or so for me as a fangirl. Tyler’s song “The Difference” is getting a lot of play and my Strike Back boys will be appearing in the last two episodes of the current season. Huzzah! Philip Winchester & Sullivan Stapleton doing that Strike Back thing again… But first, a little…
TWITL – week six – #TheDifference by @TylerRichMusic
“The Difference” – Tyler Rich Tyler’s single “The Difference” dropped on Friday, February 9th and OH MY GOODNESS, I’m already in love with it. I bought it as soon as I could on iTunes (2101 hrs) and listened to it on repeat until bedtime. It’s catchy and sweet and I LOVE IT so much. I…
TWITL – week five – writer’s pause
I think I’ve officially hit that “pause” in my writing. None of my stories are really calling to me and I suppose I’m meant to step back and just think of other things… My busy time of work started this week. It hasn’t been too bad so far. I am trying to remember to practice…
TWITL – week four – fangirl love shift
Inevitably, the tide of my fangirl love changes. Time and more knowledge of the object of affection works to erode the heat of that rush of discovery. Sometimes the adoration turns into something steady and sweet, soft and comforting. Sometimes the adoration crumbles into a memory, usually pleasant and easy. In rare moments, the adoration…
TWITL – week three – music makes the world go ’round
MUSIC Devin Dawson – DARK HORSE – I had pre-ordered this album and it finally dropped on Friday. It is so good. I find myself liking this song but then no, that song. Truthfully, I think I have some kind of love for all the songs. I am really digging “Symptoms,” “Secondhand Hurt,” “Placebo,” and…
TWITL – week two – long weekend
School started up this week after winter break and now we’re having a long weekend! It’s really pretty awesome working for a school district, I must say. Let’s do a bullet rundown of random stuff! (I know, exciting!) I met Aaron Miles, former MLB second baseman. He’s from the area and we saw him at…
TWITL – week one – fangirl edition – mostly @simonkass #SimonKassianides
Happy 2018 one and all! Did everyone have a great New Year’s Eve? Mine was as lowkey as you can go in that I was asleep at midnight for the first time in a very long time. I think it’s probably because of being sick after Christmas. I can’t remember the last time I was…
