The Betwixter

VD

Ms. Betwixter — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:14:08 +0000

VD: The overly used term at a dinner of 12 single friends for Valentine’s Day as ‘slang’ for the holiday. Sitting amongst the couple-less on this couple-centric day, naturally the topic of terrible and/or weird dates came up. It was comforting to hear how many others (male and female) had been on some rough ones [...]

Yes We Can.

Ms. Betwixter — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:57:55 +0000

I get pumped when I come across other youngsters (ie Betwixters), who are making moves. By moves I mean taking action. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people complain about their circumstances but do nothing to better them. Therefore, the opposite is also true. I absolutely love to see when people take what [...]

time crunch.

It wouldn’t feel like the Betwixter if I didn’t shamelessly plug myself now-and-again. If you’re looking for ways to make the most of your time, check out this post by the International Association of Women Entrepreneur’s Online (female and/or entrepreneurial or not, there are some valuable tid-bits). I’m number 27.

Youth In Revolt: Reversed.

Ms. Betwixter — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:23:19 +0000

As I’ve noted before, I guest write for blog who requested I step in as the “young professional” perspective from time-to-time. In a recent conversation with them, just catching up, I shared an update on a group to which I’d been admitted. Not thinking anything of it except to share because the owner of the [...]

domesticity.

Ms. Betwixter — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:01:59 +0000

When I was writing recently about our priorities changing with age, I wasn’t even prepared for the onslaught of domestic goodies I’d amass in 2012. More so, I had no idea of the utter excitement they would bring me! For anyone who knew me at any stage of my existence prior to the last couple [...]

I love Networking!

Ms. Betwixter — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:02:53 +0000

I’ve learned that sometimes, when things come naturally to you, it’s not always the same for others. I learned this most poignantly with networking. Meeting new people and helping to facilitate connections is a favorite activity of mine. Because of this skill, I was asked to craft a list of tips for some friends who [...]

resolutions for 20-somethings

Ms. Betwixter — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:39:19 +0000

Thanks to a Betwixter friend for sharing this post on resolutions for 20-somethings. Encompasses some good ones that mimic some of my ramblings, although I may not ascribe to number 6 (full disclosure).

meeting the “in law”

Ms. Betwixter — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:28:30 +0000

Over Christmas, I flew to tropical Indianapolis (sarcasm) to visit friends, and as luck would have it, my twin brother was also there visiting with his live-in-girlfriend’s family. They’ve been together for over a year, and I’d never met her. That’s what happens when you live in different regions and travel home on different [...]

a very betwixter christmas.

Ms. Betwixter — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:50:37 +0000

When I graduated from college, I remember a marked difference in some of my priorities with money. One that I remember clearly was going from wanting to spend all of my discretionary income on clothes, nights out, and the like, to wanting to invest in furniture, bedding, and home decor. I was reminded of this [...]

balance (revisited).

Ms. Betwixter — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:17:21 +0000

It’s nice to stumble upon a similar, more-cohesive version of your own musings. Saw this today on the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) website. Hearkens back to my recent post on balance vs. integration in life.
