I haven't posted here in a while! I meant to post something about this last year, but I don't think I did, so I'll do it  now.  A little over two years ago I quit smoking. I never celebrated that anniversary, but I guess I should have.  On June 28, 2007, I decided to try acupuncture to see if it would help me quit.  You see, I'd quit many times  ( Read more... )

Hello, everyone:

From now on, please e-mail me at my .mac account since it's become impossible to access my GWU account from work.   If you don't have the .mac account address, shoot me a message via FB and I'll send it to you. 

I'm trying to plan my stay in Italy. Many of the hotels send me responses such as this one, despite the fact that I make my requests in English:

"Gentile Eleonora,
desidero innanzitutto ringraziarLa per l'interesse mostrato nei confronti della nostra struttura. Attualmente c'è ancora disponibilità per il periodo richiesto, il prezzo per una camera ( Read more... )

OMG! Brad Pitt came into my work yesterday and apparently Angelina will be filming near my office all week. I'm going to have to step outside and see if there's anything interesting going on.

I'm stuck in a town without many opportunities for new opportunities, in a job that doesn't offer me much growth, and with lots ( Read more... )

She's a single mother with 6 other kids who got herself artificially inseminated by unethical doctors and had 8 more babies! Now she's getting paid to do interviews and there might be a book? What could possibly be interesting about this nutjob? She ( Read more... )

It is so hard to be at work today. I've done almost nothing productive and am itching to get home. *yawn*

 I shall end this year with a rare post.  I just got back from celebrating Christmas in Argentina, where it was 100 degrees and fake snow, Santas and anything but the casual, understated tree were nowhere to be found.  Honestly, it was so different that when people wished me a good Christmas, I had to think about it a bit to remember it was the ( Read more... )

have been filled with eating events, so I'll tell you about them here.  It all started two days before Nov. 20th birthday when a friend took me to Locanda for Italian food.  Quite yummy.  Then, on the actual 20th, spunkmunky took me out to dinner for Korean BBQ (one of my favorite foods) and followed that with a cake the munky one baked for me -- pistachio ( Read more... )
