This is where I’ll be tomorrow! I’m leaving after work today to join a group of my writing friends for a camping trip in Kentucky. Squee! This is the same group that I met in Chicago last December and I’m even more excited this time around because the nervousness of meeting them is gone. Squee!
Saturday I brought Owen to the vet for his one-year rabies shot (that’s right, he’s got a big day coming up) and I asked the vet about obedience classes. He knows basic commands but he’s STILL super excited all the time and I’d like him to greet people without climbing all over them. (I know …
Our church is having “the world’s largest garage sale” this weekend and we’ve had piles accumulating for the past month or so. I went through all the clothes I’ve had in storage for the last three years and ended up with ten bag (TEN BAGS!) of clothes and shoes to donate. Ten bags! A lot …
We all know that feeling — you’re looking forward to something SO much that when it finally arrives you’re either let down because it’s not everything you thought it’d be, or on the flip side, it’s so much better you literally explode from the excitement.

Well good morning! I arrived in Kentucky yesterday for my best friend’s wedding and it seems my blog slipped my mind. Sorry about that. I’m leaving the hotel in three minutes and will spend my day finishing programs, drinking champagne, painting my toes, drinking champagne, rehearsing for the big day, then probably drinking champagne. Oh, …
I finished reading Stephen Parrish’s The Tavernier Stones over the weekend and have been anxious to tell you about it. As I’ve said before, I suck at book reviews, so please bear with me. In the opening pages The Tavernier Stones is compared to Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol, and I’ve gotta tell you, that worried …
Here’s wishing you all a safe and fun long weekend. I plan to do a whole lot of nothing productive, but I may squeeze in some time for this: I’m taking Monday off to do more of the nothing of which I speak. See you in June!
Since y’all seem to like posts about my car, I thought I’d feed the need… Can I just say? I heart Reggie. He rocks. We’ve gotten to know each other very well over the past two months–he puts up with my diverse music tastes and I put up with his need to go fast. It’s …
I was getting ready for work the other morning and I jumped up to turn on the light–What? You don’t have to do that? You mean your light switch isn’t on the ceiling? Well… (that’s the teeny window that I have to press my cell phone against to get a signal in the dungeon) I’m …
