In Bullets

Why Today Was Good:
- West Side Story was on last night/early this morning.  Of course I stayed up and watched the end.
- There is a Krispy Kreme conveniently located down the street (and on the way to my first high school) from where I stayed in Tallahassee last night. Hello, breakfast.
- I talked to high [...]

Sunshine State

Hello from Florida!
It’s been a long few days in the Sunshine State, but it’s Thursday.  There’s one day separating me from a long weekend.  If you think at least part of it won’t be spent on the beach, you’re wrong.  It’s going to be sunny and warm all weekend, and the beach is calling my [...]

What I Did This Weekend

Underground Atlanta?  Site of the 1996 Olympics?  Nope.
Went shopping?  Uh, yes.
I could tell you about that, but mostly I will tell you that this particular mall justified shopping as a sport, and that can’t be bad.  I could also tell you how I got a pair of jeans for half off AND accomplished the seemingly [...]

Lazy Sunday

Today, much like yesterday, I plan on doing little to nothing.  I might do something fun and tourist-y like visit Underground Atlanta or the site of the 1996 Olympics (Ah, the days before I was completely obsessed with anything relating to the Olympics.  That was so twelve years ago … and so one really attractive [...]

Two Hundred

It’s been almost two full years since I started this blog, but by golly, I have made it to two hundred posts.  It seems wholly bizarre that I haven’t written more than that, but WordPress does not lie.
Thanks to all three of my loyal readers and to the many thousands of visitors who have visited [...]

Three Weeks Later …

… I still love my job, despite facing brand new challenges this week, including Atlanta traffic, private school visits, and near-death experiences at the hands of very expensive sports cars that should obey school zone speed limits.
… I really still love my job, despite facing same ol’, same ol’ challenges, including people not knowing the [...]

Perfect.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with myself because I hear a song that completely verbalizes everything I’m feeling, and I start to wonder why I can’t make my words come out so perfectly and neatly and wrapped up so prettily.  How can someone else understand me so well?
On that note, here’s the latest song to [...]

That Doesn’t Count!

I have the day off today.  All I could think about last night was how I was going to sleep in and just be lazy all day today, but guess what time I woke up?
NINE.
That is so not sleeping in.

Random Points

1.  I drove home to Jackson on Friday, slept in my own bed, and spent some time with my sorority sisters.  Life is good.
2.  I had to go in the office yesterday to drop off reply cards and expense reports and pick up new materials, more expense reports, and some friendly office gossip from my [...]

Lucky Me :)

Remember that time I was supposed to be in Montgomery this week?  And it was going to be awesome?
Scratch that.  I’m going to Atlanta instead.  Then I’m going to Savannah next week.  And then I have the miserable task of spending a week in Florida.
Oh, man, I have the best job ever.
Also, I’m coming off [...]
