I like to shop local. I have a huge preference for shopping local. Super duper ultra local when I can. Like... If I can walk to the shop and it's locally owned that's where I want to spend my hard earned money. But we don't always get what we want. At least I don't. If … Continue reading consumer whore cami assuages her guilt…
trying new things…
When you're young it's easy to make new discoveries and try new things. Everything is new. As a kid just waking up each day and hopping out of bed can yield new unexpected discoveries. But as we get older and our experience in the world starts to add up and make us, well us, it … Continue reading trying new things…
the last day…
I'm not always good at writing about the good days. I tend to hate the internet trend of posting when everything is perfect and beautiful and you're a pretty pretty princess who is blessed with the grace of all things beautiful. I want people to share their joy. I just don't like it when that's … Continue reading the last day…
the narrator…
Perhaps I read too much when I was little. Or saw too many movies with voiceover narration. I'm not sure how it happened. [Narrator: She is. She's just not telling you.] But at a very young age some part of my mind decided the best way to prepare for a challenge, an adventure, or even … Continue reading the narrator…
welcome back old cami…
At the beginning of the winter when I went through my drawers I realized that I really only had a few comfortable casual long sleeved black shirts. Which is to say I realized I only had a few long sleeved shirts because most of my shirts are black. I mean I have things with polkadots … Continue reading welcome back old cami…
Weekend purgatory…
I would like to start off by acknowledging two things so you don't have to later ask yourself if I'm aware of them: Yes. Yes I am deeply aware that it is privilege that I've had two weeks off. It's not even just like... out there in the world privilege. It's right here in my … Continue reading Weekend purgatory…
44 and wondering what even is time anymore…
You know that scene in the movie in which some woman is chronicling her life. She's seated in front of the laptop staring at the blinking cursor on the blank screen and the voiceover starts. I've been sitting here for the past few minutes replaying that scene in my head. But it's me staring at … Continue reading 44 and wondering what even is time anymore…
my end of the world earring situation is on point…
It's funny what you think about when faced with extended boredom and possible annihilation of the human race. Over the last 10 months I've spent a lot of time thinking about my jewelry choices. Ummm.. Yeah. I know that sounds kind of odd. But we've been, essentially, under house arrest for almost a year. The … Continue reading my end of the world earring situation is on point…
Content Creation: I can do that…
Yesterday I received an invitation to speak at an upcoming meetup. Which happens from time to time. That sounds very fancy doesn't it? I'm fancy like that. Or perhaps people are just looking to fill content and my willingness to talk into a computer from far away is suddenly super useful. For once. Or something. … Continue reading Content Creation: I can do that…
again…
This morning, I got a text from my dad. It was a simple text. So simple, in fact, that even the most casual observer would find it pretty straightforward. He texted me to ask how I was doing this morning. That's literally the entire content of his text. How are you doing this morning?My dad … Continue reading again…
