Ok, guys, help me out here.  I was accused tonight by my mother of being obsessive about buying things that are "organic" - and yes, she put air quotes around organic when she said this.  This was brought about when my sister told her I bought some natural foundation at Home Economists today.  "Natural makeup? Isn't that a little much?"  I ( Read more... )

I love how well my bedroom and my car reflect so much of my personality and who I am and the things I am passionate about.  In my room you will find things like:  posters on the wall of The Apple Tree, Rent, Mamma Mia (all of the Broadway shows I have seen), and Cirque's Mystere; a small calendar of Las Vegas and a picture of Bally's; a poster with ( Read more... )

My thoughts of the evening, in bullet form cause they are very random:

• Nutella is scandelously good.
• I described chocolate mousse today as "God's gift to women".  I might have to change my mind after that Nutella, though.
• Tomorrow is Saturday.  I hate Saturdays.  They are the longest work days for me.  4.5 hrs in the water, no food, no breaks.  ( Read more... )

My spring break is off to a very lovely start.  The first official day was Sunday, and I spent it going to my first yoga class (I didn't die!), eating an incredibly healthy and delicious breakfast, watching Emily play tennis, doing a little shopping, and working out at night.  Today I have worked out, gotten told by the Jazzercise instructor that I ( Read more... )

I am losing weight.  And while this makes me ridiculously happy, I am also frustrated.  See, when I try and lose weight, I convince myself to forget about looking for changes in my body - in the mirror, trying on clothes, etc.  And it works for a week or so, until I realize that I feel thinner and 'hey, I wonder how much thinner I really am'.  So I ( Read more... )

Well, I made it longer than I expected - 3 whole weeks before I got into big trouble.  Apparently, it is really wrong - and bad manners - to go out for ice cream with my brother (who I haven't seen in 3 weeks) without inviting my sister along.  Oh, and my mom too.  What was I thinking?? How rude of me to try and hang out with only my brother.  So ( Read more... )

I spent the last - uh, long time - unpacking my stuff.  Of which there is little room for, because there is still stuff in here that isn't mine.  ie, the baby swing that the little girl my mom watches likes to play with.  We also through out my desk in Greenville, so I am deskless, which kinda sucks.  But I seemed to have found homes for most of my ( Read more... )

I'm baaaaaaaaaa-aaack. Or at least, I'm going to try to be back. I would like to get back in the habit of regularly journaling and updating those that are interested about my life.  Because the times are a'changin.  And maybe I can keep track of my friends better.  Ok, so 10 second recap on my life since October 2005, my last entry : Lost both ( Read more... )

I just made an insanely good vegetarian taco salad. With meatless ground beef. And lettuce. And cucumber. And stewed tomatoes. And Baked Tostitos. And salsa. Wow. ok that is all.
