I know you may have forgotten about Mosaic Minds because we took a little hiatus, but we’ll be live in two weeks and we need content! Please send your submissions to us ASAP. The theme? Self-Acceptance. The deadline is today, but at this point I think we will have to accept things over the next [...]

The last few days have been a total emotional roller coaster ride. It appears the ride is over, which means I am now able to talk about it without breaking the promise of keeping a secret. I am not good at keeping secrets. How can I have a journal if I don’t say what is [...]

Tonight was just plain out and out strange. I was signed up for a pottery workshop through the MeetInDC group and was extremely excited. There were about ten other people signed up so it seemed like it would be a pretty nice get together. Then I showed up. There were three other women, one really [...]

Ok, so I think I was a little misled by this guy’s hurricane comments. Thanks to all of you who reassured me. It turns out that we are going to get a lot of rain, but really there’s nothing to worry about. Whew! Life is just pretty boring at the moment. I’ve been to Wal-Mart [...]

One of our MeetInDC events is being cancelled because of huricanes! Now, I don’t know if the person just means we will be getting a helluva storm here in DC or if we will actually be getting HURRICANES! So. . . what do we do? How do we weather a hurricane? Just hide in the [...]

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’ve felt a subtle urge to puke for the past couple of days. Last night I even seemed to be running a fever. I was having the chills and then when I woke up in middle of the night my sheets were soaked through and through with [...]

Self-Acceptance is on my mind since that is the next theme of Mosaic Minds. Other than my incredibly bad body image (not at all helped by the effects of extreme humidity on my face and hair), I think I accept myself pretty well. In fact, in many areas I can be downright too self-loving. I [...]

I feel like I’m living in a really bad sitcom. A couple moves to a new city and tries to set up house. They have no furniture, no car, no nothing. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong. They constantly get lost, the apartment complex that seemed so nice turns out to be a [...]

After doing a lot of thinking and a lot of employment searches, I’ve finally decided to do what I know I had to do. I’m going to sign up to be a substitute teacher. When I looked up the info for Virginia I figured I wouldn’t want to do it–they require that you be 18 [...]

I think I’m missing the gene that makes women love to shop. Sure, I enjoy browsing once in a while. I can eye things that I know I shouldn’t buy. But then I go home and take a break. Not today. Today was spent on an insane search for furniture. It started with a trip [...]
