When I started this blog over two years ago now (wow), I did so as a way to keep people updated on my life and share my own personal ideas and musings about life, the world, etc. Recently, I have begun to think that perhaps it is better to share in a more private venue. I feel sad about this - like I am leaving an old friend or breaking up with ( Read more... )

I have some of the best friends ever. Friends who know just what to do, even if  I don't realize it's what I was looking for. A cheering up package was just what I needed, even if the card made me a little weepy.

So..this is my BIG-words-cannot-express shout out to the wonderful women in my life. Thanks a million times over, girls!

Summer vacation needs to hurry up. I am tired and the weather's gross and I lack any real motivation to get anything done. And I ate a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast. Just one ( Read more... )

On Friday, I was working out while watching "106 & Park" and their "old school song of the day" was none other than "All I Need" by Method Man and Mary J Blige. One of my favorite songs in high school. Don't know how I feel about it being "old school," but it definitely helped me make my third mile the fastest one. :)

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. It always does, actually. But then we finish the pitcher (the two of us) and I realize just how much tequila that really is. And I was already sleepy from the early morning, the gym and the walking around in the warm sun. So I toddle to bed only to wake up THREE HOURS LATER with a horrible taste in my ( Read more... )

It's only been a week since I last posted, but that post was kind of lame and, even if it wasn't, plenty has happened since then to update about. I'm warning you now that I'm not in the mood to write well, so long paragraphs will probably follow.

So, last Saturday I took 6 middle school girls camping last weekend. We went up to the Eastern Shore in ( Read more... )

I am taking five seventh and eighth grade girls camping in MD tomorrow. We leave at 8am and will spend the day hiking, climbing a ropes course, etc and how does my body prepare? By getting sick. Sweet. I'll be back Sunday evening. And it's back to work on Monday. I refuse to let this put a damper on my excitement. It should be a lot of fun ( Read more... )

I'm bored

A friend from HS posted this on MySpace and I don't have much else to do tonight (damn being so productive) so, enjoy.

As a WI resident for 6 years, I grew to appreciate the Packers, even if I could never adopt them as my own (hello, I was raised a Bears fan). As such, I understand the godlike status of Bret Favre. That being said, are we all sure a 15th season is a good idea?! There is something to be said for going out on top, bowing out gracefully, etc. But who ( Read more... )

Compliments of my friend Amanda: find the least expensive gas in your area.

The cheapest gas in DC is on my way home from work...one of the perks of working in a "less desirable" area, I guess. Of course, the cheapest gas will still cost me nearly $2.94/gallon, but I'll take it (it's still seven cents/gallon cheaper than the area average).
