The Chronicles of Olivia: A Life of Great Dysfunction

25th October 2011 | 1 Comment

I have sat down at least a half a dozen times to write this post.  Not that this post in particular has any significance.  It’s just that I have neglected my blog for the better part of a year.  Where do I even start?  Should I forget about chronicling the last year and just pick [...]


Construction

My blog.  My poor, neglected blog.  I miss my small space of self expression.  My blog is an extension of myself where I’m free and have little to no fear of retribution.  There is no other place quite like it.  The past few months have been so busy that I have had to put my [...]


I Like Birds.

Remember how I’ve got all kinds of skills?  (Laundry skills, spreadsheeting skills, being overbearing skills, etc.)  Well, I have never revealed up until now that I am an unemployed accountant by day and a specialized ultrasound technician by night.  Conveniently enough, my sister-in-law was in need of an ultrasound and my specialized skills were put [...]


To Be or Not to Be

It has been awhile since I talked about my employment situation.  Or perhaps more like the lack thereof.  Not that it’s a touchy subject or anything… In high school I had dreams of being a tax accountant when I grew up.  I fantasized about filing tax returns and managing client’s estates. Once I became a [...]

This weekend I will be guest posting for a dear, dear friend.  I met Alexis, the author of Depressions and Confessions, at a blogging conference this summer. Instantly upon our meeting I wanted to fold her up and put her in my pocket.  I couldn’t do that though because she comes with a lot of [...]


Men vs. Women — An Interpretation (Part II)

14th September 2010 | 2 Comments

Women.  Ah women.  Where do I even start?  While men can be summed up into three basic points, there is no feasible way of summing up women into three points.  Or even three thousand points for that matter.  There is no beginning or ending point to women.  They are a never ending circle of confusion.  [...]


Men vs. Women — An Interpretation

7th September 2010 | 8 Comments

I’ve done a great deal of thinking about the differences between men and women as of late.  While both are human, you’d think there would be a good amount of common ground with only a few minor idiosyncrasies.  Turns out not so much.  That is why I feel it’s necessary that I impart my interpretation [...]


I need a moment.

Things have been crazy around here, what with moving across the country and all.  Did anyone know that moving is kind of stressful?  If you did, why didn’t you tell me it was going to suck out my very will to live? Add on the fact that my wallet was stolen two days before the [...]


It didn’t sting even a little bit.

Three year old: You have a big nose. Olivia: Thank you. Aw, the precious honesty of children.


Don’t you worry. It’s all under control.

My official move date is in a week and a half.  And can I just say something?  Moving across the country is so far beyond my maturity level. I was an ambitious little soul when I was 21.  Right out of college I bought a condo during what turned out to be the peak of [...]
