Everyday Narcissism: June 2014
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. I googled and found out that there are 59 US national parks. I've only been to 9 of them (I've also been to 4 Canadian national parks. And embarrassingly, I've never been to Yosemite despite having lived most of my life in California. I think I'm going to make it a point to travel to a few more of them. When I was driving through the forest, there were signs reminding me that these are "your public lands". So, I'm going to explore my land! The ones I've already seen are:. My fav...

Everyday Narcissism: April 2014
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. Why I will never patronize Circle K again. I had a terrible experience today at the Circle K gas station at the corner of 75th Avenue and Glendale Avenue in Glendale, AZ. So terrible that I'm blogging it, yelping it, facebooking it, and tweeting it. (Even though I'm normally a pretty laid back person and would usually just tell my cat about it and then brush it off.). I was running late, so I didn't call her on it. I told her that she had permanently lost a customer, and I wen...

Everyday Narcissism: Money Saving Mondays – Television
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014/05/money-saving-mondays-television.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. Money Saving Mondays – Television. Welcome to the second installment of Money Saving Mondays! Who wants to pay $100 for 8 bazillion channels with nothing on? There are a lot of websites out there about the practice of “cord cutting” (free or low-cost legal alternatives to cable). Depending on where you live, your options vary, but here’s my setup:. You’ll get an idea of which channels you can pick up with which types of antennas. There are also sites that stream specialty content (n...

Everyday Narcissism: Money Saving Mondays – Cell Phones
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014/05/money-saving-mondays-cell-phones.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. Money Saving Mondays – Cell Phones. I’ve tossed around the idea for a while of starting a new blog feature called “Money Saving Mondays” where each Monday I chronicle a way that I save money without depriving myself of modern conveniences. I can’t guarantee that it will happen every week, but I’m going to give it a go. Today’s edition is cell phone plans. Cell phone plans are quite expensive. An average smartphone plan can cost $50-$150 per month. My monthly smartphone bill? Current...

Everyday Narcissism: Basketball
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2015/07/basketball.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. I used to be in really good shape. I was a gymnast, figure skater, and springboard diver as a teenager. I played basketball on the ROTC team in college. I did ballet and ballroom dance as hobbies. I spent a year and a half riding a bicycle everywhere I went through the hills of North Carolina and Virginia. When I tell myself that, it's because I forgot one very important fact. I absolutely loathe running! A lot of runners seem to exude an almost religious fervor about their chose...

Everyday Narcissism: Flying on a shoestring budget
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014/04/flying-on-shoestring-budget.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Flying on a shoestring budget. I'll probably fly on Allegiant again. By giving up the frills, I saved about $120 over a full-service airline. I'll check back to see if it's still appreciably cheaper when I book in advance, and if it is, that's how I'm getting home for Thanksgiving. (Probably not for Christmas, though, since baggage fees will likely eat up any savings.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why I will never patronize Circle K again. Flying on a shoestring budget.

Everyday Narcissism: 2014 in review
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2015/01/2014-in-review.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. I haven’t blogged much in the past year. 2014 started out by getting laid off from a job I liked (but a commute I hated). I uprooted my tidy life. And headed off into the great unknown, arriving in Phoenix just in time for the legendary summer season. (The heat wasn’t as bad as I had expected, but the hurricane-induced flooding was inconvenient. My sources tell me that was a once every hundred years occurrence, so I figure I’m good to go.).

Everyday Narcissism: October 2013
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 1, 2013. I spent the next two years working and trying to figure out what to do with my life, and then I went back to law school somewhere else. (At a school that was far better run and treated the students as respected colleagues instead of as obstacles.) Then I graduated. I've been waiting for my background check to clear, and I found out yesterday that it did. Most law schools have big ceremonies a few weeks after exam results are released where all of the alumni who passed the ba...

Everyday Narcissism: Go East, Young Woman
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2014/01/go-east-young-woman.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. Go East, Young Woman. I grew up in San Jose, so tales of prospectors striking it rich and Franciscans building missions were a part of the local lore. “Go west, young man” was the answer to stagnation and lack of opportunity. Pack up your belongings, head into the sunset, and with grit and hard work, make a good life. There’s no more gold in California. I’m moving to Phoenix in a few months. Instead of mining for gold or setting up a ranch, I’ll be practicing law...Is licensed u...

Everyday Narcissism: SMART new year's resolutions
http://everydaynarcissism.blogspot.com/2015/01/smart-new-years-resolutions.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. SMART new year's resolutions. Every year, I make the same resolutions (eat right, exercise more, etc.), and every year, I faithfully follow them for about 2 weeks. Then real life sets in, and the best laid plans go awry. This year, I’m applying some of my professional skills toward better resolutions. The hip new(ish) buzzword in performance evaluations is the setting of SMART goals as a way of assessing workplace success. A SMART goal is something that is s. Elevant, and t.
