Summer break is here. And boy has it been busy! You see, we are leaving the country next weekend for 6 weeks (EEEEEEEEEEEK!) and are scrambling around planning the trip (because, uhhhhh, other stuff – school! – got in the way of the planning?) and taking care of last minute house things. Well, not necessarily […]
My topsy-turvy world
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog post. Which is very unlike me. Well, when I am not out of the country. LOL! Since we moved 3 weeks ago, I have been trying to find some resemblance of a routine. Because I like routine. I feel comfortable with routine. I operate best […]
30 days of awesome stuff…
So, it’s May. How on earth did that happen? April went by in the blink of an eye. Even though it was a FULL month for us Rosenbergs. 30 very full days. Let’s see. We started off with Easter Sunday in NJ. Saw the house we would ultimately buy on Monday. Found out we got […]
The search is finally over…
As we were unpacking wedding gifts a few months ago, surrounded by boxes and little storage space, I said to Michael “We need a bigger place.” He nodded his head in agreement. And thus the seed was planted. Of course, we always knew we were not going to stay in our 2 bedroom condo for […]
“Week of” recital prep…
It’s the week of this recital I’ve been prepping for since the end of January. A good solid three months. Or close to it. Practicing in the pockets of my day. Or huge chunks of my “snow” days and occasional weekend. LOL. It’s tough. It’s hard preparing for something when you have a full-time (draining!) […]
Shifting priorities…
A lot has been going on recently. Like, a lot a lot. But in a good way. I have found that I am most productive in the morning. I am, self-admidatly, a morning person. I try to do the things that are most important to me before school. Quiet time. Meditation. Journaling. Working out. (you […]
Introvert fail…
My husband and I are similar in many ways, but also quite different. Not exactly an “opposites attract” thing, but more of an “opposites compliment each other” thing. One of the biggest differences is that I am an introvert and he is an extrovert. To some, who meet me for only a brief period of […]
Dealing with disappointment…
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Dealing with disappointment. Things that are not in your control. How others handle things. (which is not in your control) Even when you do everything you can possibly do. Michael and I encountered our first house hunting upset. We found a beautiful home in the location we wanted. It checked all […]
Go with the flow … like wine.
A LOT is going on right now. I already knew this would be a busy month with recital preparation and all. But I didn’t know our “let’s find a new home” would elevate to the next level. Remember my “f**k perfect” post and getting our place ready to show without it being “stage ready”? Well, […]
Eff Perfect
I’m a perfectionist at heart. And I’ve been challenged to let go of my perfectionism in many ways over the years. Certainly in my more recent “adult-ing” years. I feel like I’ve been doing a fairly decent job with it, too. Though I’m not always “perfect” at letting go of my perfectionism. LOL. A few […]
