A wee bit of holiday spirit …
I’m still down in the dumps, but this gave me a chuckle! Guess our dance lessons are paying off. Happy holidays everyone!

If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been blogging lately. I’ve definitely had the blues and there’s a lot of crap going on right now that I don’t feel like broadcasting across the blogosphere. In fact, I think the past week was one of the worst weeks in my life (1). But I will say, last…

The dishes are done, dude
Crickets? Anyone else hear crickets around here? Sorry for my lack of blogging, but here’s a delayed recap of Thanksgiving weekend. The visit from MamaFashion and SILMeow included: Dare I say a delish meal?? Lots of Scrabble! A road trip to Vermont to visit MamaFashion’s old friends. Here we all are the Harpoon Brewery. Look…
DetailsGratitude
My family always had a tradition to go around the table and say what we’re all thankful for. Figured I’d share with you all.J Yes, more gushing on him. He is truly my partner in crime and I’m amazed to have met someone who matches my personality so well. I can’t imagine life without him!FamilyBoth…
DetailsOne more thing …
I blog as a way to procrastinate my writing assignments. Can you tell? So I just wanted to note some observations about the restaurants in N’awlins.*There’s far too much seafood on the menus.*They always bring you bread in a bag.*Three servers are assigned to each table–one for drinks (too bad I always order water), one…

It’s time to go home
I’ve been in New Orleans too long … someone on the street asked ME for directions when I was walking home from my afternoon session today. I was able to correctly give them the directions! I miss this guy …Oh, and this guy …
DetailsPop goes my ears
My ears tend to pop when I fly. Well, I feel like I’ve been flying everyday this week. Did I mention I’m back in the Bayou for business? Been here since Wednesday and leaving Sunday. Different hotel, different conference, different coworker. Anyways, I am staying on the 34th floor in this hotel and every time…

Town politics
I know I give my husband kudos for his job publicly often, but it is with good reason, so bear with me one more time. I have to give a little background before getting into my little story, so here goes. J is the recreation director for a small town. He is his own boss,…

An unexpected visit
SILmeow called us last week and said she would be in Boston on business Friday. We actually had nothing going on (wow.), so she extended her stay through Sunday! We met up with her in Salem, Mass., intending to tour the witching town. But, because our lazy butts couldn’t get out of bed early enough…
DetailsA picture of health
Since I’m surrounded by cardiologists this week, I decided to get a blood workup health assessment. J and I were just talking about how we probably should get our cholesterol tested since we don’t watch what we eat in terms of low-fat products (mayo, butter). Good news everyone. I passed with flying colors. My cholesterol,…
DetailsFeeling a little nostalgic
This post is to pat myself on my own back. I am covering the annual meeting for the American Heart Association this week. You may have seen some news coverage on the research presented here in the past few days because it is one of the biggest conferences around. Anyways, it was, indeed, my very…
DetailsCatchy commercials
One of my many quirks is that I secretly love certain commercials. I mean, there are times when we’re watching TV and will mute through all the commercials, but sometimes I can be mesmerized by a silly commercial! Catchy jingles, funny story lines, I eat it up. For example, I don’t remember what phone company…
Details10:30 in the PM
What will you be doing at 10:30pm tonight? Probably getting ready for bed, or in bed sleeping already … Not us. Because the stupid people who make our soccer schedule have us playing a 52-minute game at 10:30pm!!! WTF? Crossing fingers that our whole team shows up because that would be some fine dedication. Not…

Celebrity Sighting
Raise your hand if you know who this is! Friday night (Halloween), we were eating at Limoncello in the North End (Boston) with MamaFashion, who was there on business. In walks Frankie Avalon to sit at the table next to us! Even though I knew of the name Frankie Avalon, I couldn’t really tell you…

Happy Halloweenie!
Just wanted to share some pictures from J’s Haunted House that his Rec Dept. hosted for the town last Sunday. This is one of his BIG events. When I say big, I mean planning starts in July. This year had an alien theme. It was a success and couldn’t be complete without …A homemade spaceship…

We’ve hit the 2-year mark. We are no longer newlyweds!
The saying is true. Time flies when you’re having fun! So two years ago, we had not just one wedding, but two celebrations! The first and bigger one was in Jersey (Oct. 28) and included friends from so many walks of life. There was a little rain and chill, but lots of love in the…

DetailsYou know you’re a medical writer when
… your friends and family members start calling you for medical advice. … someone gets a really confused look on their face when you tell them what you do for a living. Then politely walks away. Just wanted to check in and say things are going well. I feel very at home with my fellow…

Getting Goth
J and I went to a Halloween Ball this weekend at our dance studio (yes, we are still taking some dance lessons). The theme was “goth.” Can you tell? Our dance instructors told us we had way too much fun dressing up. Okay, I’m off to the ‘villes for work!
