When you're almost 30 and you're still not adulty enough, you blog.

Hi there, and welcome to this experiment in commitment, to which I have chosen to subject myself. I do hope you find something of interest here. To get started, let me ask:

Are you a legal adult who is still trying to figure out how the hell everyone else seems to have their shit together already?


Do you have interest in booze, bad puns, and cursing?


How about cats?


If you've answered yes to all or most of the above, this might just be the place for you. If you answered no to that last one, you can see yourself out right now (I'm kidding, but there's probably gonna be a lot of cats, so you've been warned).

Let me tell you a little bit about this crazy train, and where you can expect it to take you...

First of all, nothing about this blog is set in stone. I plan to evolve as a human over time, and I would expect my blog topics to do the same.

My history with blogging
I have started somewhere around 8 blogs in my life and not one of them has stuck. One made it MUCH farther than the others, though (some of you might have followed me here after my 2-year hiatus - HI FRIENDS!). Will this time be different? I'd like to think so. Maybe if you clap your hands & chant, "I do believe in bloggers, I do! I do!" and throw some faerie dust on me, this one will stick.

Why start a new blog?
I wanted to start blogging again for a lot of reasons, but primarily so I can continue to grease my writing wheels. My day job involves a LOT of writing, and we all know that practice makes perfect! Aside from that, I'm making a lot of changes in my life right now and learning SO much that, A) might be entertaining/informative for someone else in a similar situation and, B) I really just want to document. For reasons. Also, I kind of really love talking about me.

Whatcha gonna talk about?
Well, as the title of the blog and this post suggests, I'll be talking about what it's like to be an adult when you're not mentally prepared to "adult". Topics you can generally expect me to hover around:
  1. Productivity hacks | Learning how to be "responsible"
  2. Meal planning and recipes
  3. Mental health and self-care
  4. Family & Relationships
  5. "Finding yourself" (ugh)
  6. Tech stuff and apps, maybe? Idk. Sure, let's do this.
Oh, and I definitely dwell deep in the nerdiverse, so don't be surprised if I fangirl HARD from time to time - about books, movies, comics, you name it. I've got some tricks up my sleeve in this department.

...

Annnnd, with that I've completely exhausted my brain sauce for today. Check back soon for a get-to-know me, and feel free to like leave me a comment or stalk me on twitter/insta <3

Adulty Habits: 5 tips to be more productive every day

I love being lazy. I am a champion couch potato. I can binge-watch an entire season of Supernatural in like 5 days. In fact, Kyle and I once binge-watched 60 hours of Game of Thrones in like 3 weeks - that's commitment! Unfortunately, this doesn't bode well for things like: laundry, grocery shopping, or taking out the trash. If you've read my 2018 Goals post, you'll remember that I have set out to establish some adulty habits this year - one of which is to do something productive around the house every day. I figured it'd be a good practice to share how I'm coming along as I begin to establish these habits & they become more ingrained in my daily life. Want to add a caption to this image? Click the Settings icon. I REALLY didn't wanna. So, this whole being productive thing... not really in my nature. I'm a big dreams, small actions kind of person. I love to daydream about what my life would look like i...

Welcome back!

Aloha! Ahoy there! Hallo! Hola! Hi friends, and welcome back. Apologies for the unannounced hiatus, but do you have any idea how much work it is to simultaneously fix up a house for sale, get it listed, and accommodate last-minute showings while still meeting all the deadlines on your new build? We definitely underestimated the kind of chaos we were in for last month. So, while I'm sad I didn't get to spend time here, we made SO much progress in this whole adventure and I'm feeling really optimistic that our house will sell relatively soon :) How do we feel about a "quick" recap? Here's the rundown on everything we knocked out last month (including a few social events, because let's be real - we definitely weren't working 100% of that time). I realize it's not actually that short, but if you have any desire to hear about any of these topics in more detail, let me know in the comments! 1. New carpet installed throughout the entire house - did...

Sooo...WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE!

Holy adultiness, Batman! Let's talk about this for a second. Building. A house. How did we get here?? Is this actually happening? Am I even breathing?! Want to add a caption to this image? Click the Settings icon. We ACTUALLY have a fully-executed purchase agreement on our new abode as of last week. We still have to drop off the 2nd half of our earnest money (3% down to the builder) but otherwise, this thing is official. Officially official. When we started talking about a potential move last year, we never (ever, ever, EVER) would have guessed that this is where we'd land. Our first meeting with our new realtor was at the beginning of January and we honestly thought we'd just get the answers to our questions, learn what updates would be needed to sell our current house, and then take some time to process everything. Boy, were we wrong. Well, not completely wrong. Mostly just about that whole "taking some time" thing. ...
