March Break Highlights: Seattle Aquarium March Break Highlights: Seattle Aquarium By Megan Cutler | May 13, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment I like aquariums. I’ve toured several since I started this blog, and always make a point of documenting the experience. Every time I enter an aquarium, I have two objectives: be hypnotized, however briefly, by the jellyfish. And meet the octopus. I love jellyfish. I keep the Monetary Bay Aquarium’s Jellyfish cam on bookmark for … Read More Read More
March Break Highlights: Savoring Seattle By Segway March Break Highlights: Savoring Seattle By Segway By Megan Cutler | April 29, 2019 | Comments 1 comment Two years ago, a good friend of mine moved within driving distance.

What Does Writing Look Like To You? What Does Writing Look Like To You? By Megan Cutler | April 15, 2019 | Comments 1 comment Sometimes, I wonder what people think of me. I’m sure I strike an odd sight. I spend a lot of time parked in front of my computer screen, reading over or adding to strange documents. My secondary screen holds a smattering of digital post-it-notes. They often grow out of control before I cull their numbers. … Read More Read More

How To Reclaim A Bad Week How To Reclaim A Bad Week By Megan Cutler | April 1, 2019 | Comments 4 comments It’s been one of those weeks. You know the kind. The perfect storm of awful.

On Monday, the grocery store is extra busy, which puts you behind schedule. But it’s no big … Read More Read More
The Challenge of Finding a Perfect House The Challenge of Finding a Perfect House By Megan Cutler | March 25, 2019 | Comments 2 comments As previously established, I’m bad at life updates. Confession: a big part of the reason I so rarely write these is that my personal life feels pretty boring. I worry no one really cares about what’s going on during my day-to-day. Especially since I don’t have cats. I figure people would rather hear about Domerin’s … Read More Read More
Why I Mourned the Opportunity Rover Why I Mourned the Opportunity Rover By Megan Cutler | February 25, 2019 | Comments 2 comments When I was a kid, my greatest wish was to go to Mars.
