Signing Off  When I told my mom and Larkin I was interested in the Slice of Life challenge, I’m not sure I was entirely serious. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but I’ve never loved talking about myself to others. I’ve never wanted to write about my days, and haven’t ever really thought there was much to… Continue reading

Past Lives and the Current One I really do think I’ve lived at least three lives before the one I’m currently in. I’ve been told since a young age that I’m an old soul. As I watch The Voice, I’m decently sure I was a music producer or something in a recent life of mine.… Continue reading

Games are a Green Flag  I love games. I’m not picky on what kind of games – board games, card games, sports games, word games, any of the above. I always ask people if they’re games people, and those that get it, get it. Those that don’t, don’t. Usually, the people that get it stick… Continue reading

Teamwork… Dreamwork?? Each quarter with work, we have a week-long, everyone-in-the-office team-building thing. This is that week. The remote workers are here, work-work is postponed, and we’re focusing on teamwork and goals. Barf. (Sorry).  Today we met off-site for a full day’s worth of speeches, going over core values and competencies, and a long… and… Continue reading

New Growths  I know spring is coming because my plants are growing. I never used to be a plant person. I, rightfully so, assumed I was allergic to all plants due to my extreme allergies to trees and grass. To put it into perspective, I was frequently sent home from elementary school because they thought… Continue reading

Take Your Pick My mom, Julia, and I are sitting in the hotel room finally watching the Uconn boys play with our feet up. We were laughing about what the heck I would possibly write my slice about seeing as there were so many possibilities. Naturally, we’re now debating what the worst part of the… Continue reading

Taylor Swift The horrors of the Ticketmaster – Taylor Swift debacle was heard around the world. No one was safe.  Taylor Swift has long been a family favorite. None of us are die-hard Swifties, but we’ve always appreciated her and loved her music. Julia, Larkin, and I have been listening to her songs since she… Continue reading

Streams of Consciousness Did you know that when you get an iron infusion, you can taste the iron? Never did I need to know what iron tasted like. But alas, here we are, and I have a feeling I’ll taste it more than once in this lifetime.  Did you know that Joe Jonas is 5’7”?… Continue reading

A Good Day  “Girls, the lawn is closed,” a voice cut through the music playing. I looked around and saw an officer walking toward us. We had our blanket splayed on the grass, our laptops connected to our personal hotspots, and our shoes were off. We were enjoying the first 63 degree day New York… Continue reading

Good morning to me! Going through yesterday’s slices of life, I kept reading ones about meet-cute stories. I thought it was all some weird coincidence that people were all writing about it. Did I miss something? Was that the posted inspiration? I went back and checked – nope. Finally, I read one that referenced the… Continue reading
