Late entry this Saturday eve. It was a long work day and then this lady fell into a hard nap after work. I’m sure you’ll agree that naps hit different when you’re not 12 anymore. I basically slept. 🤷🏾♀️ Yesterday, I mentioned that October is my favorite month. Here are four reasons why: 1. My …
Blogtober #1: And Away We Go…
Blogging all 31 days of my favorite month. Can she do it? We've done it before, so hopefully, we shall do it again. (For past Blogtobers, shimmy over to the search feature and read up, if you like.) What Blogtober means for you, my dear reader: Photo by OVAN on Pexels.com Expect 31 days of …
Level Up. [2020]
So last year, I feel like you and I, dear reader, entered a new phase of realness on This Square Peg. This is a lifestyle blog, yes, and we discussed various aspects of my life, including openly sharing with you that 2019 mostly stunk. I initially wondered if these were things I even wanted to …
Blogtober #30 and #31: We Forgot! We Did It!
#30: Guess who was super busy yesterday and the day went by without the next to last blog entry for Blogtober? So, yeah, we forgot. Buuuuut... ************************************** #31: We Did It! Day 31. A whole month of talking to y'all everyday about my favorite season in some way, shape, or form. A whole month of …

Blogtober #17: Fall Fabu Fashion.
Hey y'all. As you can imagine, with temps in the 40s and 50s around here in Somewheres, Texas (which is hardly seasonal; we should be around the 60s and bit of 70s, for the most part, but I certainly am not complaining), the pulling out of coats and sweaters and boots and scarves is in …
Blogtober #13: The 8 minutes until midnight post.
It rained mercilessly today. There was no coffee to be had, and no time for books, but it was certainly a true rainy day. I don't care for these kind of days, but that's the rub of autumn. She will give you color and hues and leaves, but you shall also receive handfuls of rain. …

Blogtober #11: Throwback FallDay
For this Throwback Thursday FallDay, a poem I wrote embodying our recurring theme: The Fall There’s a crack in your sweet autumn heart. Gone are the crisp nights and burgundy leaves that filtered through– now your heart bears dust, ashes, and the hard soil of the ground. I wanted to kiss that heart; now I …
Blogtober #10: Fall Mornings on a Treadmill.
Pretty clear, from the title, how I greeted the dip in the weather this early autumn morning. Typically, I make use of the gym at the office in the mid-afternoons, having done an in-depth study of the time of day when I can have the place all to myself and enjoy the machines and surrounding …

Blogtober #9: Brevity.
I wrote this poem a few years ago. It has a fairly familiar theme. *wink* Autumn: Brevity I pull open the doors for you, my intermittent love, eager to greet you with the cool kisses of yet another fall. It does not bother me that you arrive once a year bearing your all-consuming brevity. It …
Blogtober #8: Fall Future.
Some of the upcoming temperatures in my little corner of Texas for the next few days. I'd do a cartwheel, but the way my knees are set up... Needless to say, super excited for the impending cooler breeze in the atmosphere. Happy Monday, Autumnites...
