I have a car that can reach about 140 mph and I love it. I love that such an incredible speed is something I can achieve all on my own! As a human! Windows down, music blasting, pedal to the metal, watching that speedometer rattle at its max is frickin' EXHILIRATING. Just having the power [...]

Commit to “Just Because”
I'm not posting anywhere near as often as I used to, and it's driving me nuts. (Clearly, as this is the second time in as many entries that I've mentioned it.) But every day that goes by without publishing a new post, I get really frustrated with myself. It's not like I've been too busy [...]
That’s So Retrograde
First and foremost, I apologize for any typos this entry may contain. I'm usually the first to spot and fix misspellings and other keyboard errors, but my computer decided its 'i' and 'o' shouldn't adhere to the functionality of every other letter and symbol. (That just came out as "symbool," if you're wondering what I [...]
Is This Thing On?
Hello! It's November 5, 2019—exactly 524 days since my last post—and, uh... a lot of shit has gone down. I did Whole 30 again, got very into yoga, got engaged, opened an Etsy shop, changed jobs, moved to Seattle, got very into Pilates, married Drew, spent two weeks in India, and am now Allison Guiney. [...]
True Crime, Not Murder
If I had to share three key things about myself, the following would absolutely make the cut: I grew up binge watching "Law & Order: SVU". Like, if I were to fake sick to stay home from school, you could bet the calendar would say Tuesday. Laying around any day there wasn't an all-day marathon on [...]
This One’s about Hamilton
It's been exactly 10 days since my mom and I saw "Hamilton" FOR REAL. I'm not talking a makeshift reenactment in our living room, purely for the sake of animating one of the most amazing soundtracks known to man. No sir. I'm talking the real set, the real actors, the real THEATER where it's all [...]
I Can’t Fashion Blog
I just don't have it in me. As much as I love reading other bloggers' chronicles of amazing deals and cutie outfits, browsing their entirely-too-perfect Insta feeds and clicking hundreds of links like I'm actually going to spend money, I'll never be one of them. Why? Too many reasons to count—but we can try! First, and [...]
Make a Habit of Resolutions
New Year's resolutions are very demanding. Why do we set so many at once? And when did we opt for a big list of habitual adjustments rather than one or two major milestones we want to accomplish that year? Because shouldn't it be about that year? What's the point of making it a resolution if [...]
A Quick Guide to Today’s News
Hello, I just need to spew for the sake of my brain not catching fire. When a lot of things happen at once, keeping up with current events can be relatively tricky. Especially when everyone has an opinion on one specific thing and the other headlines get no love when they're actually just as important. [...]
I Can’t Handle Other Drivers
I live in Omaha and work in Lincoln, meaning my commute totals two hours—one hour each way—every day. I don't mind the time or distance one bit. (Being part of a carpool helps significantly, but even when I'm the driver, it's nice being able to mentally prep for the day ahead and/or wind down after eight [...]
