In recent years I’ve talked about the ways I treat myself and enjoy my own company on Valentine’s Day- specifically because the guy I’ve been seeing lives on the opposite coast at the moment, which makes traditional ways of celebrating just a tad more difficult. I treat myself to a nice dinner, or go and […]
Another January nearly complete and another year older for yours truly! This past weekend marked my [redacted]-th birthday, and my second one celebrated in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic. While my options for commemorating the occasion were significantly more vast than they had been in 2021, I still opted to keep it low-key, […]
I had mentioned in a recent post that this past weekend marked what I think was the last series of belated-Christmas/New Year’s get-togethers with family and friends that I had lined up for the foreseeable future (although my birthday is this weekend- so we’ll see!)

So far, much like my last dosage of the regular Pfizer vaccine- I’m doing okay. I’m taking it easy on myself today, staying hydrated while working from […]
Hello everyone- and hello 2022! Happy New Year and Happy (belated) 2nd Birthday to ‘Coffee & Chiffon’- which was first launched on New Year’s Day back in 2020. Simpler times. While I hit the ground running shortly after the ball dropped, and have been on the move and working since this past weekend wrapped up- […]
It might not feel like it all day every day, but I have so much to be thankful for this year (especially when compared to how things were going for pretty much everyone this time last year!) I’m safe, and healthy- something I’m especially grateful for given the recent scare I talked about in previous […]
Although I tend to stick a little closer to home around the Holiday season- what with Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., involving family gatherings and late night parties with friends- I never deprive myself of the opportunity to travel somewhere relatively new, do some exploring, meet new people and both dine in and shop at businesses […]
