Challenging

08.29.2011

TweetI’ve been given the challenge to write more in my blog.  I guess some people out there are actually starting to miss my writing.  Either that, or their are some serious stalkers in my life who like to closely monitor it . . . Regardless, I have a lot to catch up on.  I haven’t [...]

On Friendships

08.22.2011

TweetI’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about friendships.  I have looked back on this almost year that I’ve been living in the “city” (although those folks out here wouldn’t say I live in the “city” because I’m about a football fields length outside the beltway, but whatever!).  Those people I used to come [...]

2011 Vacation: Part Two

06.15.2011

TweetMonday.  Memorial Day.  A day of celebration.  A day where most of corporate America is off work and enjoying the day.  Enjoying the beach.  Enjoying the very cold ocean.  Enjoying the crisp feeling of the sand striking their faces as the wind blows. After a painful night of no sleep, J and I decided it [...]

Weekend

05.23.2011

TweetI had the best weekend this past weekend.  Why?  It was full of the simplicities in life that I love so much.  Saturday I did absolutely nothing.  At least, not in my terms.  I got up, did one load of laundry and then for the rest of the day, I lazed around, reading and watching [...]

Conglomerations

05.17.2011

TweetI’m finally updating  . . . something. In great news for this morning, I walked out to my car to find that it had been side swiped . . . with no note.  It appears (from my great investigation skills) that someone tried to park, hit my car, realized it and backed the eff up.  [...]

Friendship

05.13.2011

TweetEver since I moved away from the place where I grew up and where I spent the vast majority of my college and early 20s, I’ve come to realize that friends in my life come and go.  It’s those people that still want to cling to my friendship that I appreciate so much.  People like [...]

Cinco de Mayo

05.05.2011

TweetToday is Cinco de Mayo.  A day most Americans celebrate by raising their glasses in the air, consuming alcohol and cheering incessantly in the bars across town.  I’ve never understood this, mostly because it’s not even a true American holiday.  It’s a holiday to celebrate a Mexican victory.  Grant it, we have a short tie [...]

04.29.2011

TweetSo, what happens when you arrive at your local gym, get out of your car, are distracted while talking on the phone, grab your gym bag and then lock and subsequently shut your car door? I’ll tell you what happens: CHAOS, people, CHAOS!!! As soon as I shut my car door last night, all I [...]
