Here are my favorite/most listened-to songs of 2010 ( Read more... )

I'm going to go ahead and post this a few days before the year officially ends. I probably won't finish any books in the next two days, although I've been reading up a storm during the past week or so!

Read in 2010

Under the Banner of Heaven , Jon Krakauer (non-fiction)
Escape, Carolyn Jessop (non-fiction)
Confessions of a Rebel Debutante, ( Read more... )

Wow, I have really sucked at LiveJournal this year, but especially during the last quarter of this year. I don't really do the New Year's Resolution thing, but the beginning of a new year does seem like a good time to start things, or re-start things at least. I know a lot of people (myself included) have fallen into the Facebook trap, and even ( Read more... )

Fall is coming. Right now we're at that phase where it's cool in the mornings and evenings, but can still get up to 90 in mid-day. I'm back to wearing long pants (instead of capris) to work for the first time since May ( Read more... )

I brought Oliver and Captain home from Charleston today. I now have FOUR cats in my under 1000 square foot townhouse. When I went out there last weekend, I found they had a very bad flea problem. I have never had issues with fleas here in Charlotte, so I think the climate in Charleston (more hot & especially more humid) is very conducive to fleas ( Read more... )

It's my birthday. I'm at work, and just got 2 Edible Arrangements fruit bouquets delivered, so everyone here is helping me eat all the pineapples, strawberries, grapes, etc. I might be going out to a bar trivia night thing with some people later, which isn't really specifically for my birthday, just happens to fall on the same day ( Read more... )

I retroactively updated my 2010 Books Read List. I'm definitely not going to read as many as I did in 2010.

Oh, and speaking of books...David Sedaris is coming here in October and I have front row seats....yay!

Yes, I know I know...it's been for-freakin'-ever since I've written in here. But I do still lurk and read occasionally. I was doing that just now, and all of a sudden thought...isn't it about the time of year for my LJ anniversary? So I pull up my archive and see it was actually yesterday. So considering how slack I've been for the last 5 months ( Read more... )

It's snowing out...or at least it was last I checked. I have an interior office- no windows, so if I want to look outside I have to get up and walk to a window. From what I hear, it's not supposed to accumulate, the ground's not cold enough, but people are getting all worked up abut it as usual anyway. I kind of wish we would get one last big ( Read more... )

The HRC Gala was awesome! We drove out to Raleigh yesterday afternoon, and stayed at the Marriott again, the same hotel where we stayed when we saw Bill Maher. We got all dressed up- Frank even rented a tux. He looked really good! Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a "real" camera, so we only have a few pictures taken on Frank's iPhone, which are ( Read more... )
