It has been a while since my last blog post (6 months to be specific). Since that time, we’ve lived through six more months of work-from-home and wanted to do a life update. Upon reflection, quite a few things have changed over the past six months and it’s fun to track life events and updates! I’m planning on doing another 101 in 1001 update soon with a (surprisingly) long list of updates. I finished my 4th busy season (5th year of work). I’ve worked at the same public accounting company since I graduated in 2016 and finished my 4th busy season. This would have been my 5th, but I missed…

101 in 1001 Update #2
In January, I started a list of 101 things I wanted to do in 1001 days. Now that my company has decided we are working from home most likely through the end of Q1 (that’s March 31st for you non-accounting/finance friends), I have finally decided to settle into this new “normal”. We have become *somewhat* more productive, at least as much as we can from staying at home. It has been over 3 months since my last update, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity do an update, especially because a lot of milestones have occurred (ie. anniversaries, elections, etc). Original Post Update #1: August 11, 2020 Personal 1. Read…

My 7 Favorite Places to DoorDash
When stay-at-home first started, we ate at home for every meal. Drew’s survivalist instincts kicked in and we were those people who stashed canned goods and frozen meals. We aren’t normally the cook-at-home type but it was a welcome change because we saved money and ate healthier (aka less fried foods). Six months and 49172 home-cooked meals later, I am tired of home-cooked meals and can’t wait to get back into restaurants. Luckily, I got DashPass with DoorDash* earlier this year as part of my Chase credit card (shout out to Chase Sapphire Reserve). I can now order a meal, snack, or drink without leaving my house. * This is…

How Quarantine Has Changed Us
We are going on month six of quarantine and we, along with many others, have had to adjust to our new normal. It has really forced and yet allowed, us to re-think how we live our lives. I started working from home mid-busy season. In fact, I had only been back at work for two weeks before the stay-at-home order was put into place. At first, working from home was exciting and gave me a boost in energy. I didn’t mind working late as long as I could be in pajamas. After two months I missed having a routine. Now that we have officially been working from home for five…

23 Movies and Shows We Watched During Quarantine
One thing we have made progress on during quarantine is our movie and show watching. My natural habitat is on the couch with something good, or just entertaining, on the TV. Everyone has been asking for recommendations so here are the movies and shows we have watched so far during quarantine and my ratings! Movies The Wrong Missy (Netflix) 2/5 If you want a background movie, this is the one. It’s about a guy (David Spade) who texts the wrong girl (Lauren Lapkus) to go on a weekend trip with his company. It’s vulgar and raunchy but had its funny moments. I’m not the biggest David Spade fan but Lauren…
