Still Life: A Mess of a Desk

  I tend to be a little anal about the way I like things organized. This absolutely applies to my workspace--a messy desk is the result of a messy mind (How do I sound like a 50-something teacher from a Beverly Cleary book?) However, my job is such a weird combination of running around and desk work that I’m finding it difficult to keep things as neat and tidy as I’d like. There’s usually a stack

Photo Diary: On Instagram Straight Flexin’

So I know I just took another unexpected hiatus, but it was for good reason, I promise: I finally took a break from errythang and went on a trip to Miami and Key West! I hung out on South Beach, did some shopping, relaxed on the beach, enjoyed yummy banana daiquiris by the pool, took a leisurely bike ride around the island, explored botanical gardens, and ate everything in sight--in short, it was an awesome
