It happens to me every summer. When the weather gets warm, I like so many others, get complacent and lazy and everything purposeful drops off into non-existence. But, the minute my senses pick up on the tiniest inkling that mother earth might be in the process of creating fall, my senses go into over drive. Thus we have the random out pouring of ( Read more... )

I need to live closer to the King of Prussia Mall. We stopped off at a very expensive Italian restaurant just to get the ultra decadent Tiramisu, only to leave to get amazingly cheap but fabulous pasta from the gourmet food court.

Ok so I’m posting at work again when I should be working, but this cramped little lavender colored office seems to be the only place I ever get revelations anymore.

Ok so it’s near the end of my work day on a Monday and I’m sitting here in my office thinking of just how much I WILL NOT miss this place next week. I don’t know if I find joy in this job anymore. I feel like I’m finally burning out here and I question myself every day about whether or not I’m really giving my residents my all. In September, my ( Read more... )

I just randomly had this urge to let anyone who actually reads this know, I feel like I'm growing away from everyone and it sort of frightens me. I sort of feel like I've gone back to being on the outside and it's actually a very sad feeling. Work, life,way too many funerals, and stressing over getting my vacation together (plus losing the weight ( Read more... )

I was reading over Live Journal posts tonight from ages ago, and I marvel at how far I’ve come since August. Now let me preface this by saying this is not a bashing post, and anything contained herein is a reflective look at who I was and who I am now ( Read more... )

It's official...the day after my 26th birthday my ass is off to Cozumel, Mexico to lounge by blue waters and to soak up the sun with my baby and the coolest brother ever for arranging this trip....

Ok so this means I need to loose 20 pounds like yesterday

Anyone up for a party maybe the 21st or 22nd of June? You know you want to...
