The Week 10.4.15

Graham and I spent most of the week pup-sitting my friend Jon’s adorable Shiba Inu puppy, Hideki. It’s hard to do much else in the evening when instead you can watch this little cute ball of energy run around being adorable and funny: I put down all non-fiction I was reading – I didn’t feel like… Continue reading The Week 10.4.15

The Week 9.27.15

I’m reading a galley of Unfinished Business by Anne-Marie Slaughter. It’s a follow up to her very wildly read Atlantic article Why Women Still Can’t Have it All, and it’s a treatise on feminism and women’s success in the workplace that follows a different argument than Lean In. It’s interesting, but I’m finding that I’m really craving… Continue reading The Week 9.27.15

The Week 9.13.15

(I’m playing around with a slightly new format for my weekly recap posts. Feedback is welcome, and appreciated!) I’ve been reading a lot of other books alongside Anne Karenina all summer, so it’s taking me forever to finish. But I’m in the home stretch – less than 100 pages, and am not starting another novel… Continue reading The Week 9.13.15

A New Beginning

Tomorrow I start at Etsy. It’s my first “first day of work” in over six years. I thought I’d be more nervous, but mainly I just feel excited. I think that’s a testament to how confident I feel that both the role and the company are the perfect fit for me. It’s also probably a… Continue reading A New Beginning
