Black Friday

Flashback to Thanksgiving night:
Kevin asks me on the 2 hour drive home from Jacksonville if there were any deals in the circulars of the newspaper. Of course he means Black Friday deals. I know him and I know that the hates Black Friday, and that he doesn’t like shopping without a mission. He had [...]

This year I’m thankful for…

My health. I’m so grateful for it, especially considering my 2 foot tumors in the past 2.5 years.
My job! That I have one in this economy and that I’m learning new things.
My family. Even though they are over 1,200 miles away. Love and miss you all!
My friends. All across the states and the new ones [...]

“So, what do you do?” or rather, “What did you do?”

In the last month or so, I think I have been asked about a dozen times “so what did you do before this?” (THIS being my current job. In business. More specifically, economic development. Non-profit. That’s all you’re getting.) And sometimes I just say “I was in child care” because I always get the “HUH?!” when [...]

Because I have nothing better to post

You get a picture from the Margarita Ball on Friday night.

Me and Shannon, my soccer team captain, former broadcast journalist and all-around good person.

Takin it easy

I’m holed up alone in the house tonight. Which means plenty of relaxing. Ice cream. Catching up on Rachael Ray. Reading blogs. Painting my toe nails. All those girly things.

I will be attending a “Leaping Lunch” and networking [...]

A few months ago, my co-workers and I were all subjected to the Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator Test.

Quick, go here [...]

Monday morning ramblings

I made a new pasta dish last night courtesy of Rachael Ray, thus adding a new meal to my repertoire. I combined two recipes I found, one with pasta with roasted tomatoes, and the other with warm zucchini salad as a side dish. Muy delish!
Our group started playing Ulimate Frisbee yesterday, and it was probably [...]

M.I.A.

I’m sorry dear blog readers but I’ve been sooo busy lately and haven’t had much time to post. I know that’s a lame excuse but it’s all I got.
I am finally to a point where I can breathe after a busy week of work; our soccer season is winding down – our final 2 games [...]

Wordless Wednesday (sort of)

It’s the beagle and me looking out over the water in Key Largo on the 4th of July this year. I am really looking forward to going back down there for Christmas this year. It’s so peaceful there, like a different world from the fast-paced life I live here in Port Orange.
