My first Charlie fail. Yesterday I had every plan to write this out and then was sick in bed all day. So here’s my makeup Charlie prompt. Prompt #5: Pen and Paper: Then I felt my cheeks turn rosy pink________ (finish the story.)My personality is one that avoids embarrassment at all costs. So this prompt is pretty difficultContinue reading “Charlie Challenge Day 5”

Charlie Challenge Days 3 & 4
Whew, this is going to be a long (but AWESOME) month of challenges. Already Charlie is pushing me out of my comfort zone! The 4th challenge is: Sing along to your favorite song on YouTube. Bonus: Learn how to play AND sing it. Well, no bonus for this challenge BUT I did get some courageContinue reading “Charlie Challenge Days 3 & 4”
I had the pleasure of going to Gotye’s April 19th show at the Nokia Theater. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, I’m sure you’ve heard his mega-hit “Somebody That I Used To Know“. It’s been covered by nearly every other artist, including the cast of glee (of which you all know how much I love!).Continue reading
Shifting Perspective: Charlie Challenge Day 2
Above & Below You, Me & Charlie Challenge Day 2: Working 37 hours a week at this desk can make the “view” all too familiar.

I tried MANY different angles of the computer screen and even fromContinue reading “Shifting Perspective: Charlie Challenge Day 2”

Why I love Twitter (no..really.)
My beginning with twitter is a sad start to what now has become something so much more! I had heard of twitter but had no interest in being a part of something that seemed so utterly pointless. Then my friend Lisa was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night in March 2010Continue reading “Why I love Twitter (no..really.)”
When Inspiration Strikes.
I recently read THIS post from a really cool new site from Dianna Agron (Quinn, from Glee) called “You, Me, & Charlie”. I really enjoyed the questions she asked and wanted to use some creative juices this morning 🙂 YM&C: What day is it? Friday 2/17 around 11:20am.YM&C: Where are you responding to this email?Continue reading “When Inspiration Strikes.”
Slowly start to build… A Beautiful City.
The musical Godspell is currently performing with a revival cast in New York City. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the show while I was in NYC, but I had so many people recommend the music to me that I had to listen for myself and see what the buzz was about. I’m notContinue reading “Slowly start to build… A Beautiful City.”
Life update
I wish I could accurately describe the quantity of posts that I’ve been wanting to write over the course of the last month. Some got a little too personal, others too depressing… but most were great bursts of an idea but didn’t develop past the title once I got to writing it out. I alwaysContinue reading “Life update”
New York City
My mom, brother, and myself traveled to LAX on January 10th for our 6am flight to the Big Apple! The biggest reason I went to the city was to see Darren Criss in his Broadway debut in “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying” (AMAZING!). It’s not entirely allowed, but I found this link on YouTubeContinue reading “New York City”
