Hear me roar!
You all should be very proud of me - I went running this morning! For the first time in... um... an embarrassingly long time. It was before May, I know that much. But yesterday, bienegold kindly reminded me that the 8 mile race I agreed to run with her this summer is in less than 2 months. 2 MONTHS. So, scared out of my mind, I decided to start ( Read more... ) -

Okay - so I know this is dorky, but I am super excited! Matt and I are going to his fraternity's formal spring dance this weekend. It's in DC and I guess they invite alumni as well as current members to attend. This is the first real fancy outing I've been to since... gee, prom?? When I was in college a bunch of my friends got to go to the ( Read more... ) -
My favorite part...
...of working from home is that the cats wander over and lay on my shoulders, or my laptop keyboard, or on the other end of the couch - just within arm's reach - as if any day that I'm not home is useless to them because they wouldn't have me around to cuddle an kiss them or watch them roll on the floor and lick their paws. -
snOMG!
If you haven't heard, the DC area is being hit by.... SNOWPOCALYPSE!!! It's been a pretty crazy winter so far, and this is our second major snowstorm. We're up to over a foot already, and it hasn't slowed down yet. I'm loving it though! Getting snowed in with Matt is awesome, esp after a long week of having houseguests and a month of busy ( Read more... ) -
Last Day of 2009
Okay, I know it's not really a big deal but I think most people enjoy the opportunity to reflect that the New Year provides. The transition into 2010 seems different from last year, when I was signing up for challenges, making resolutions left and right, setting tons of goals to get my life in order. A year later I'm happy with my life. There ( Read more... ) -
Mission 101 Update
This is the first of a few more end-of-year/new-year posts that I'll be writing over the next few weeks. To start things off, I wanted to return to my Mission 101 in 1001 list. Started on February of this year, it's now been 319 days since I started, and I have 682 (or approximately 1.8 years) left. To be honest, I haven't been actively pursuing ( Read more... ) -

Who invented all these things we have to do?
So life goes on in much the same way that it did yesterday. I did end up going to my cousin's for dinner, which was nice until right after dinner when it suddenly got cut short. Her husband's parents who were visiting, found out their cousin died over the phone. So suddenly his mom is crying and my cousin doesn't know what to do and everyone is ( Read more... ) -
Holy rusted metal, you guys!
Remember when I said that I was way behind on my word count, and that I'd basically have to double my 7000 word novel today in order to get back on track? And how I was whinging that I wanted to write, but couldn't just sit down and do it?
