A Nice Saturday.
Last weekend, I had almost nothing on my schedule. For the first time in a long time, had a Saturday and a Sunday with almost nothing to do. Usually, that means I skip town and go visit someone, but I was really looking forward to doing nothing this time ( Read more... ) -
You're Welcome.
I'm on a few committees for different organizations and events, and I went to one of them earlier this week. We were meeting to discuss where our little committee was going to put its efforts next and brainstorming ideas. We had a new guy show up (and participate!) for the first time, and after the meeting was over I thanked him for coming and he ( Read more... ) -
Paper Airplanes.
Tonight, I won flowers and tickets to the Speedway by throwing paper airplanes onto a hockey rink. All for the sake of my community's desire for something good to happen here in the form of a new university ( Read more... ) -

Meat & Potatoes.
I have had the unexpected fortune to be able to go to Europe twice in the last few months. I went to Ireland in December and Germany in February.

No Reservations.
Back when I was living by myself and still settling into Dallas, I got enough cable to have clear channels. That meant, for whatever reason, that I got the standard CBS/NBC/ABC/FOX, plus some not so obvious choices like CSPAN and CSPAN-History (yes, they played old CSPAN on that channel. All the time. Who watches that?!?), Bravo, G4, and the Travel ( Read more... ) -
Return?
I've felt for a couple weeks that I'm on the verge of returning here. So, hopefully, this will be true.
I think I need an outlet for my observations of life as of late. So, livejournal, may we meet again soon! -
Projects.
Despite my lack of posting here, I'm working on a couple of other things around the internet. So, I thought I'd give y'all a few links in case you were interested in my other projects.
First, I've become a regular columnist on Thursdays on the Ignite Rockford blog. Ignite is a Young Professionals group that I've joined, and I write a social media ( Read more... ) -
Bob.
I had the good fortune a few weeks ago to win tickets to see Bob Harper (Trainer Bob!) from The Biggest Loser speak in Rockford. It was a fundraiser for one of the Junior League's projects, but I signed up to win one morning out at breakfast and won! Woohoo!
I love The Biggest Loser. It's my little late-night inspiration on Tuesdays before bed ( ( Read more... )
