Work Related Travel

October 8, 2010

Today I was tasked with riding around with my dad and going to see customers.  I do not mind the seeing customers part of the equation – but, riding around with my dad usually equals riding shotgun to a VERY slow driver and being exposed to extreme quantities of the following: NPR (not the good […]

Kitchen Mishaps

October 3, 2010

I will be the first to admit, when it comes to cooking, I have a TON to learn.  My mom is a fantastic cook, and, is usually my go-to person with any questions regarding how to prepare things.  Unfortunately, she is out of town right now, and, left to my own devices, I had a […]

Could It Be?

September 30, 2010

Could it be that the rain has finally stopped?  Maybe I shouldn’t talk about it – I don’t want to jinx anything. Today was another wash out here in the Port City. The roads (at least the ones that I had to travel on) were not all that bad this morning.  I made it into […]

More Than Enough

September 29, 2010

On Sunday, all of Southeastern NC was suffering from a terrible drought.  That ended on Monday when we had a record amount of rainfall.  And the rain, it has not really stopped coming down. I heard on the news this evening that so far we have had something crazy like 16 inches fall in the […]

A Case of the Monday’s

September 27, 2010

There was no need for an alarm clock this morning.  A loud crash of thunder startled me awake around 5AM – approximately 30 seconds later I had a whining dog jump onto the bed, shaking like a leaf.  Poor baby, I hate that she gets so wound up during storms. My mood, however, did not […]

Washington, DC – Final Day

September 26, 2010

Our second day in DC was much more productive than the first.  When we started planning this trip, the only thing that I insisted that we plan to do was visit the Newseum.  I am a huge media dork (Mass Communication majors unite!) and we had missed this place the last time we visited the […]

Washington, DC – Day 1

September 24, 2010

After a (surprisingly) good night’s sleep on Saturday, I felt a little bit better once Sunday rolled around.  This was to be the day that we were planning on driving into Washington, DC for a couple of days of sightseeing.  This portion of our trip was originally supposed to be three days, but, we cut […]

Part 2 – A Concert Experience For the Ages

September 23, 2010

After our trip to IKEA, we hit the road to Bristow, VA.  For those not down with the geography of northern Virginia – Bristow is a town that lies about 30 miles west of Washington, DC. As far as I can tell, it is really only notable because it is where the Jiffy Lube Live […]

Our Fall Vacation (part 1)

September 22, 2010

This past weekend we loaded up our car and hit the road to get out of town for a few days.  Our final destination was Washington, DC – but, this is a story that needs to be told in parts.  So, bear with me for a few days while I work on hammering out the […]

Profanity Spoken Here

September 15, 2010

I will be the first to admit that working in the family business comes with perks that most jobs would not (i.e-taking half days off to watch basketball).  But, what most people do not understand, is that it also carries a lot of baggage as well.  This year week in particular has been super trying […]
