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. Either way, a day or two later, you are wiped …
My best friend got married on Saturday and while the entire weekend was a blast, the bride was GORGEOUS, and we had fun at every turn, a little thought kept niggling at me: You have to write a speech. You have to write a speech. And even worse: You have to GIVE a speech. You …
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 …
(WARNING: Most of these links have dirrrrty language) As some of you may have picked up on, we’ve had hip hop playing all week in the office and it’s completely overrun my life. I cannot get certain songs out of my head and my friends have been ever so helpful in keeping them there. This …
I’ve been floundering a bit since shifting blogs. Used to be I either wrote about Mexico or writing, but I’m no longer in Mexico and, frankly, I’m no longer writing. (Although I SWEAR I haven’t quit — I’m still trying to get my schedule under control.) My life in Michigan doesn’t have the same intrigue …
Last night I was lolling on the couch trying to think of what to write for today. I mentally ran through the list of things that’ve kept me busy lately, but decided against each for a variety of reasons. I’m not trying to tease–bear with me for a second–but it brings up a point several …
