Happy Birthday to me!

So it’s been awhile, again, I know. But there have been a ton of really GREAT changes… For starters, I moved to Chicago!!! I’m finally a city girl, who lives with her awesome boyfriend! Sure the neighborhood might not be the absolute best, but it isn’t terrible. And I did make friends with the locals…I was the typical cheerleader girl in her little shorts, high ponytail, and t-shirt on move in day. I wish someone would have had a camera when I came bouncing off the back to the moving truck to introduce myself to one of our ‘neighbors’. “Hi, I’m Tatiyana, I’m your new neighbor, it’s so nice to meet you!!!!” As I stuck my hand out to say hello, the guy looked at me like I had just offered him a snake, haha! He did shake my hand and introduce himself, Reuben in my first new friend in the city. And sure the commute to work is about an hour, but I get to see the city skyline on my drive home. And my gym is only 3 miles from my apartment AND there is a TARGET across the street!!! Target is one of my happy places, so imagine my delight when I saw there was one right next to my health club.

Sometimes being a grown-up rocks!

So I haven't written in awhile. If you've been following me on Twitter or on Facebook, you'll have noticed I have had a rough June. My dad passed away on June 11, and 13 days later, my grandfather also passed away. I know deep down, they are both in a better place, and are both together, looking down on me. I also know they would be disappointed if I stopped writing, so I'm back at it... When I was a little girl, I had all these glamorous dreams about being an adult. Staying up late, sleeping in, going to parties, and having the freedom to eat whatever you want for dinner. In my fantasies, bills, work, and real life didn’t exist, clearly! While staying up late is a regular occurrence in my life (sometimes for fun, sometimes for work), sleeping in almost never happens, not even on days off. The one thing I can always count on though is being able to have WHATEVER I want for dinner

Little Bit of This...Little Bit of THAT

So I’ve been a little stressed the last few weeks. And when I’m stressed, there are four things that either take my mind off the reasons for stress or help me cope with the stress. Baking, cleaning, writing, and um…well…I’m sure you can guess the last one.

Goin' to California

I don’t think I’ve told you the awesome news yet...I’m going to Napa for five days next week. OMG I’m so excited!!! Not only is this going to be a trip of a lifetime, but I can really use it. My last real vacation was like 5 years ago. This trip came about at the perfect time, see, I’m just a teeny tiny bit stressed at work. Okay, maybe a little bit more than teeny tiny. Maybe a whole lot. Like enough to want to just walk away and forget the place. Not quite enough to give my two weeks, but close...
