Doings & Undoings:

As I have recently rounded a sharp, late twenty-something corner in my life, I have come to question what has mattered most. My career is nothing flashy and while every once in a while I wish I was doing something more lucrative and challenging, it pays the bills and allows me a free and open life outside of work. I boast the most average, unassuming American female look between the coasts—so I’ve never really had an edge or a disadvantage in the area of physical appearances. Yet, I sometimes feel I can slip into the skin of the prettiest or ugliest girl in the room…

Anyway, I grew up in a small town, lower to middle class family and have little new to offer outside the awkward, far-reaching growing pains most of us have come to experience in some way. Besides my very expensive foreign travel habit, living in the big city, and a few other distinct quirks, I’m a pretty plain Midwestern gal at heart. So far, what has mattered most is that I love to learn about people from all walks of life and those in all sorts of relationships. And perhaps in some small, selfish way this has helped me learn more about who I am too.

Hopefully I can pass on a few tricks of my trade here, as well as pick up a few new ones from visitors like you.
