    Kids or Pets

    I have two dogs, zero kids. I subscribe to my bestie's rule that I can't have more pets than I have hands, so until I'm married, I can't have any more dogs.

    shower every morning, as it helps wake me up. If I go to the gym, there's usually a second shower. Shave when it's a.) not winter and b.) I'm not single.

    Favorite Movies of 2017

    I enjoyed Molly's Game. It is a bit wordy and long winded at points, but it never feels slow. Worth renting, at the very least. I also felt compelled to read about the real life story after I got home trying to figure out who "player x" was.

    Dog Showing Aggression to Certain People

    I don't believe in advocating for banning any certain breed, but I do believe certain dogs would do better in certain homes/environments. I know someone who had to re-home their corgi (herding dog) because it was growling at their newborn. Corgi are not inherently aggressive, but herding dogs...

    Dog Showing Aggression to Certain People

    While the dog may be better off in a home that is willing to do proper training, there are likely things you could try. When I adopted my second dog (Australian Shepherd), the rescue was relieved to know that I didn't have children, wasn't wanting children, and wasn't frequently around...

    Anyone have experience with switching careers in your 30's?

    About 5 years ago I left a job as a retail manager, taking a pay cut, to sell life insurance. The insurance route really didn't fit, but it led me to a job in financial services, and that job led me to my current job in marketing for a different financial services company. It helped me greatly...

    Vacation and Sick Time Question

    My last employer switched from having a set amount of PTO, to unlimited with approval from your manager if you were a salaried employee. The downside to that was, no more payout when you leave. Certain states do require a payout if you have a PTO balance, and because I was an hourly employee...

    Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

    In my age group, I fall in the gap where I didn't always have technology/smart phones and had to actually go outside to play/use my imagination, etc. I did have a phone in high school, but it was just to let my parents know I was okay if I went out with friends. Anyway, if I go out with my...

    Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

    In my heart, I am Woods, Elle. I've seen the first one so many times, it's one of those movies where if I see it playing on TV, I'll stop what I'm doing and watch it. I also remember one time, my freshman year of college, being really sick and watching it 3 times in a row. A while back they...
