T-Minus 6 days and a Poll
It will be my birthday in 6 days. Usually I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends and celebrating, but this year I'm just...not. Not that I don't want to hang out etc, I'm just so unenthused. For once I just don't care. It's a day like any other. I may treat myself to a blow-out that day so my hair looks pretty w/o me having to do ( Read more... ) -
What I Want For My Birthday
With my birthday coming up in a few weeks, I've started my list of things to tell people to get me: a long grey cardigan, brown boots, gift card to a dance school...and then I saw an ad on tv and it TRUMPS all my previous wishes.
The Obamachia.That's right. A chia pet in the shape of Obama and you put the seeds on his head and watch it grow hair ( Read more... ) -
Success?
Last night, Matt and I were discussing (among other drama), how we each define success. He separates personal and professional success as two different things. He can't put his finger on what will make him successful at work, but he's working 60hrs/week trying to get there...to wherever that may take him ( Read more... ) -
Thank you for being a friend...
Subway has a new commerical they are airing during the Little League World Championship (who, you ask, actually watches that? Answer: my husband and his friends. And no, they aren't pedofiles) featuring the theme song to Golden Girls. Of course, I remember every line of that theme song. And, since 2 days later it is still stuck in my head, I've ( Read more... ) -
Young Lady
Today on the metro I sat next to a man who seemed to be in his 50s. His stop was one before mine, and as we pulled into it (car still moving, not stopped eyt), he said, "Young lady, this is my stop ( Read more... ) -
The Kissing Bandit
I was late to enter the world of dating. Being a late bloomer mixed with shyness contributed to this. Plus an extreme hate for the guys I went to highschool with. Anyway, when I did finally get around to having that first kiss, and subsequent first boyfriend, it opened up a new world to me! I was boy crazy! I quickly made up for lost time. ( Read more... ) -
Where Did The Time Go?
So it has suddenly occurred to me that not only am I departing on Friday for Rome, but I have to pack and make sure I have enough and appropriate clothes for the trip. CRAP! I mean, I have to get my nails done and meet my friend's new baby daughter and pack and run and and and...not enough time! Typical of me - nothing like procrastinating ( Read more... ) -
Old Habits Are Hard To Break
I thought I had successfully managed to break my habit of only reading mysteries or romances, but when I look at the books I've read so far this year...yeah, mysteries and romances. :(
SO! Tell me, dear LJ friends, what should I read instead? -
I Lied
Ok, so remember when I said I was never running again and that I'd never do another race? Yeah...I lied. Or changed my mind, whichever. I am going to run the Rockvile Twilight 8k on the 19th. It's less than my last race by 1.3 miles, so I should be ok ( Read more... ) -
Morning Commute
It is a well acknowledged fact that people do very unsafe/unusual things in the car. They are either trying to save time or are under the illusion that their windows are one way and that no one can see them. I always hear the cautionary tale of the woman who hit a car while putting lipstick on or the man who wasn't paying attention to driving ( Read more... )
