La Luna
Did you see the lunar eclipse Wednesday night? We did and it was fantastic.
Back from Dville
I meant to blog about our trip yesterday, but work is really busy for me right now. Really busy=practically no lunch break and long days. Really busy=no desire to write in free time. It usually gets really busy in the fall and spring. It’s happening earlier this year. Yikes. But I digress. Skybus got an…
Next stop: Dan Vegas
No time to rest this week … J and I are headed to Danville Thursday through Monday. Awhile back, we realized that Skybus, that new airline everyone is talking about, flies direct from Portsmouth to Greensboro for very cheap, so we jumped on it. I’ll let you know what I think of Skybus later. My…
Trip to the Valley of the Sun
So I finally got back Monday from Phoenix. I was supposed to take a red-eye Sunday night, but Continental Airlines screwed up my flights. That’s just a whole other story. But I got home eventually and at least got a $100 voucher out of it. My trip was jam-packed, to say the least. Here are…
Superbowl Sunday
For anyone who didn’t already know this, New Englanders are pretty intense about their sports teams. I actually didn’t quite know the extent until moving here and living through two winning seasons for their teams. Sunday night was an ugly example of what can happen when their team loses, especially to a NY team! As…
Where in the world did January go?
Time always flies, but this month seems like it was over in a blink! And it’s not like we were traveling this month – we were in NH every weekend. February is already going too fast … I just found out last night that I am going to the Valley of the Sun next week…
And we wonder why health care is so expensive …
If you aren’t tired of hearing about the stereotypical antics of upper management, you’ll like this article. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iTp7zHfVyGPpaDs1oBlnUsbLYZlAD8UD3JSG3 I loved the writing in this story because it was just injected with a play on words and so much humor. It may be a little biased, but it’s hard not to be in this case. The…
Lostie
We are uber-excited for Lost Thursday night. You don’t have to tell me how nerdy this is. I am fully aware. Of course our soccer game interferes with the show time this week, so we are going to have to tape it. But, this is a good thing. At least we can have the ability…
Birthday Shout Out
Today is Roid’s 30th birthday! For those who don’t know Roid, he was one of my five roommates that I lived with when I first moved to Phoenix in 2000. Roid now lives in Boston. He claims I followed him here. Clearly not the case. This is a big year for Roid. He is getting…
Weekend in Review
Another weekend gone … why does it feel like they go so fast? Saturday was a big day for us, as REI was having one its “garage sales.” For those that don’t already know, REI is our all-time favorite store. But we don’t just shop there anytime. Instead we try to hold out for their…
Final Score: 7-2
Did I mention that J and I play indoor soccer? Well, for the first time since we’ve been playing in October, we won last night!!! Yeah, I know, that means we lost a lot of games. But in our defense, we were strangers playing together and never had time to practice. There are teams playing…
Nicknames
I plan to use a lot of nicknames in my blog entries. Not only do I think it will be kind of fun to do so, but it helps honor the anonymity of certain individuals. J and I are trying to come up with a better nickname for him. We have some ideas, but would…
Wouldn’t you like to work for Google??
Fortune Magazine released its 11th annual list of the “Best Companies to Work For.” I actually covered the results for my job, but I’ll be the first to admit I enjoy reading these kinds of articles. Google again secured the top spot and for many reasons. The California-based Internet search engine firm prides itself on…
No turning back now!
I finally jumped on the bandwagon. After months of sheepishly reading random strangers’ blogs, I decided it was time to start my own. My biggest fear in all this was the idea of putting my life “out there.” Since I played the voyeur role for so long to unsuspecting bloggers, there may be some of…
