Don’t Make It Weird

Don’t Make It Weird

There are few things I hate more than walking out of the campus gym.   So there I was, minding my own fitness. I had spent the past forty-five minutes on the self-inflicted hell otherwise known as the Stairmaster. The workday makeup that graciously keeps […]

Sasquatch

Sasquatch

I have never once been accused of being sexy. This is just blasphemous, frankly, given my near endless supply of whistle-worthy qualities. How any guy could have witnessed my walk men have so kindly described as “goofy,” and “I don’t know, it’s just kinda weird,” […]

When Love Isn’t Enough

When Love Isn’t Enough

I used to think love was enough.   I used to think one day, if I were lucky, love would grace my soul like summer rain. Love would walk into my life and hold the pieces of me together with an embrace that would make […]

Cliff Jumping

Cliff Jumping

“Hey, hot stranger, do you want to jump off of this massive cliff with me? There’s no real reason either of us needs to jump. We aren’t in any immediate danger that would be resolved by jumping or anything. It would just be for kicks, […]

The Prodigal Blogger Returns

The Prodigal Blogger Returns

I think people might want me to blog.   No. Seriously. I was surprised too. I know, I know, you’re wondering, “who are these “people” you speak of, Kayla?” And “are they like your work-out regimen or ability to maintain a lasting relationship?” No, actually, […]

Tall Order

Tall Order

I’m in a pub in Dublin. BadBobs Temple Bar, to be specific. It’s Saturday. We had been here a few nights previously on a Wednesday and were welcomed to the city by a beautiful man playing even more beautiful music on his acoustic guitar to […]

Supposed Stripper

Supposed Stripper

What’s that? New blog post, you say? No… “We must be mistaken,” you cry in disbelief, for you had given up hope on the promise of an update from my side of the world eons ago. I had abandoned you, selfishly, for a life of […]

This Is How We Grow

This Is How We Grow

(Dedicated to those who have returned home) Imagine this: you fly halfway across the world to live in a beautiful foreign country where you don’t speak the language. You’re intentionally uncomfortable. You signed up for this. You’re lost. You need friends, stat, and more importantly, […]

Like a freshly cut tree….

Like a freshly cut tree….

….this post is pretty sappy.   Ayyyyy   I’m never branching out into different types of humor. I think I’ll stick to tree puns. I’ll never leaf my old ways. I’m rooted in wordplay. Wood you like me to get to the point? That, my […]
