Labor Free Weekend

September 5, 2011

As I have mentioned several times on the blog, long weekends are one of my most favorite things in the world.  This Labor Day weekend was particularly enjoyable because, for the first time in a long while, we had zero plans. Mid-morning on Saturday we headed over to Wrightsville Beach to catch a ride on […]

Out of Place

September 2, 2011

If you would have peered into the backseat of my car today, you would have seen something totally out of the ordinary. My 3 year old niece, Brynn, needed a lift home from daycare today and since my schedule is more flexible than Danny’s I got drafted to help out.  Last time I picked her […]

Come on Irene

August 27, 2011

(This blog title is to be sung to the tune of “Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runner’s, as I have had that song stuck in my head all week) Last night Danny and I had plans for a nice fondue dinner out at The Little Dipper.  It is our anniversary weekend and that is […]

Seriously?

August 23, 2011

Hey, Mother Nature, WTF gives? Around 5pm yesterday, there were multiple reports of funnel clouds near my neighborhood.  This scared me so bad that I almost pee’d myself. Today, we felt the tremors from the earthquake at work.  My mom and I looked at each other and said simultaneously, “What was that.”  I ran outside […]

August 18, 2011

Amidst all of the suckiness of the last month, there has been one thing that I have been looking forward to.  When I found out that Duke would be playing basketball in August, and it would be televised on ESPNU, my head nearly exploded.  Can you say Christmas in August? As an admitted sports addict, […]

No Words

August 4, 2011

Late Saturday evening we lost Danny’s mom. As I have mentioned a few times on the blog, she had been in and out of the hospital since early March.  Early in July she went back to the hospital and her illnesses finally got the best of her. My mother in law was one of the […]

A Nice Surprise

July 18, 2011

I know that sometimes I rag on Gracie about not taking her job as Security Director very seriously. But, most of the time, she earns her keep around the office.  She let’s me know whenever she hears an unfamiliar car pull up.  Or a door open.  Or a strange noise.  Or the phone ringing.  Or….well, […]

Break From the Heat

July 17, 2011

After enduring crazy hot temperatures for the past month, we finally got a reprieve this weekend.  We decided to take advantage of the awesome weather and hit the roads around our neighborhood via bike. I have to say, biking is most definitely my favorite form of exercise.  Danny’s mom is back in the hospital again […]

Ice Cream Makes Everything Better

July 9, 2011

Someone had quite the rough day today. Thunderstorms all day caused my furry child to have quite the nervous breakdown.  Just when she thought they had passed, another round would blow through and stress her out all over again. After dinner, she wandering into the office, flopped down in the middle of the floor and […]

Stress Relief?

July 7, 2011

Usually by this time in my busy season, things have started to level off a bit.  This week, though, my stress level has been through the roof.  Between having things go wrong in production  and trying to get some new features running smoothly, I have been crazy busy (this is a good thing). Yesterday, as […]
