Half Day

March 12, 2010

In honor of the ACC basketball tournament (and Duke’s noon tipoff time), I decided that today would be a fantastic day to take a half day.  Good thing my dad boss wanted to watch the game too – there was pretty much no way he could justify coming over to my house to watch it […]

Hopping back on the Bandwagon

March 10, 2010

I managed to spend some quality time with the treadmill over my lunch today.  It seems like kind of a waste, because the weather finally warmed up here and it is much more conducive to exercising outside – but, I like having my evenings free to walk with Danny and Gracie, so, I try and […]

March 7, 2010

For reasons that I do not really want to get into on a public blog, this has been one of the most emotionally taxing weekends of my life.  Friday evening I was so exhausted that I really didn’t know which end was up.  Saturday was a little bit better.  I spent most of the afternoon […]

Rain, Rain Go Away

March 2, 2010

I am so over this weather.  I mean, I can take a joke as well as the next person, but come on – what is the deal?  As a native of Southeastern NC, I truly cannot remember another time when it has been this consistently cold and miserable for this long.  So over it. Thankfully, […]

Lazy Friday

February 20, 2010

My plans for this weekend involve having absolutely no agenda whatsoever.  This is awesome and I have been looking forward to it all week.  We spent the first few weekends of the month travelling – and then I was on the road again this week for work.  Even though the weekend trips were for fun, […]

Happy Adopt-a-versary!

February 15, 2010

Today marks the two year anniversary of when we brought Gracie home from her foster mother’s house.  She pretty much hated us for the first few days that we had her at the condo.  On the way home (we got her from a rescue group in Oak Island which is about an hour’s drive from […]

Valentines Weekend

February 14, 2010

I have never been super into Valentines Day.  I guess it goes back to my pre-Danny days when I was always super bitter about being single and did things like make “anti-Valentines Day” mixed CDs for my friends.  It was actually right around Februrary 14th when I first met Danny and even so, we have […]

An Open Letter to Mother Nature

February 12, 2010

Dear Mother Nature, While I can appreciate the fact that you hardly ever bring snow to Southeastern North Carolina, and that normally it would be most welcome in my household, do you think maybe you could go easy on us this time around?  See, here’s the thing – I have tickets tomorrow afternoon for what […]

Road Trip to the Mountains

February 8, 2010

Last week we packed up the (thankfully 4 wheel drive) SUV and headed up to Beech Mountain, NC with a bunch of our friends for a short vacation.  It was supposed to be a ski trip, but, I kind of hesitate to use that term to describe Danny and I’s portion of the vacation as […]

Veggie Experiment – Afterthoughts

January 25, 2010

My experiment into vegetarianism ended today when Danny and I made a trip to Flaming Amy’s for dinner.  I had a taco platter with fajita steak and it was pretty damn good.  I might could have stretched the experiment out another day, but, our dishwasher is currently in a state of disrepair (the guy came […]
