After the sweet start to my day, I knew I was in for a great Valentine's!!! I made Chris dinner last night, and then we went out on the town- to the High art museum! We took a romantic tour of some of the galleries- they even had two Renoirs (my favorite French Impressionist)! They were also giving free tango, salsa, meringue, swing and waltz ( Read more... )

I'm perturbed b/c every news outlet known to the American public is calling Anna Nicole Smith's death a "tragedy" this morning! WTF?!?!? 9-11 was a tragedy. Natural disasters are tragedies. I don't see how the death of a stripper turner Playboy model turned heiress turned TrimSpa addict can even be imagined to classify as a "tragedy." Maybe I just ( Read more... )

My faulous fiancee bought my a fabulous present- a space heater!!! I call it my portable fire.:) for anyone who doesn't yet know, I am unbelievably cold-natured, and wintering in an 80-year-old building, drafts and all, does NOT help! So now, I just curl up by the orange glow of my new present, or sometimes, I sit in front of it and spin around ( Read more... )

During Good Morning America this morning, I saw a commercial in which a woman was praising Commmit lozenges for keeping her "sane" while trying to quit smoking. With this ridiculously fake "I'm barely hanging in there" quaver to her voice, she babbled on and on about how she just never thought she could quit, but this time, she might just make it ( Read more... )

So I finally met with my boss at this semester's internship yesterday, and I was intimidated. I really don't know where to start with what she wants to get done, and although my professor seems willing to help, I'm just not sure how this is really going to work. So I'm trying to be optomistic, but yesterday's intimidation over this whole issue ( Read more... )

So Chris and I were just sitting here, sentimentally watching "Meet Me In St. Louis" (which is a beyond fabulous movie!), when he heard a scrathcing sort of noise.Of course, thanks to our recent rat incident, he was convinced it was in the wall- yuck! But then, our movie ended and via the silence of the room without the TV on, we were able to hear ( Read more... )

So basically, I feel like I should just start this thing all over again. It's been 10 months since I last wrote in this thing- am I even the same person I was then? Actually, not really. I mean, I AM me, but almost everything about me now is different! I live in Atlanta, I am in grad school, I work at the GA Trust for Historic Preservation and at ( Read more... )

I haven't updated this in F-O-R-E-V-E-R! No, I'm not dead, just busy. I have started my new job (I've been working there for about two months now!) and although I only work three days a week, they are 12-hours days, and they don't allow much time for anything but sleeping and grad school/real estate red tape work during my off days! I am planning ( Read more... )
