My work project is over; the tough part has ended and I walk away convinced, more than ever, that it’s time for me to jump ship. First, though, a three-day weekend. Saturday and Sunday will be spent in the usual ways, while Monday will be made up of the following:
A nice, long run in the [...]
I’ve come to the conclusion that I really, really want my work events to be over already. When they are, it means the following things:
The election is a) approaching or 2) already over; if you look to the right you’ll see who I want to win; here’s why.
It’ll be mid-November and that means the holidays [...]
This long weekend has been relaxing and beautiful, just what I needed before I tackle two back-to-back work projects. There’s one down, though, and it was supposed to be the most stressful (knock on wood): we survived it just fine. During the entire project, I would look at the snooty academics I’m forced [...]
So even though I co-own the Mazda3 and even though my name appears first on the lease, I really haven’t driven the car since we got it over the last long weekend in DC (as opposed to the “next long weekend” which people on Google and Yahoo keep on searching for – just bookmark OPM’s [...]
Posts I should work on but am too lazy to begin:
The post about how my two favorite pairs of shoes have been sadly defeated by the mile-long walks to and from the Metro. I received my second pair for my birthday – not three months later and they are gone. My first pair [...]
Voldemort has somehow triggered Armaggedon, and IP and I find ourselves smack in the middle of it during a museum visit in DC. We have some family and friends with us as the sky starts to darken, the streets of DC begin to crumble and allow molten lava to pour through, and shrieks of [...]
Things I am not paying attention to right now:
The Olympics – if it ain’t hockey, it ain’t worth it (though I admit to being curious as to what the results of the marathon are).
My own marathon training. Thanks to business travel, vacation, weddings, and family visits, I have completed exactly zero days of training. [...]
Poor, poor blog. It’s been sadly neglected all in favor of wedding planning. But damn it all, I can’t help myself! Rest assured that I am not totally getting lost in a world of ribbons, tulle, and vellum, but it’s mighty tempting to do searches rather than writing about, I don’t know, [...]
Someone who heard about my engagement second-hand came up to me today, offering me a hug and congratulations. She asked me how IP had handled the proposal, positively squealing in delight when I told her the details. In the middle of this conversation, I mentioned to another person present that I would be [...]
So what do I enjoy most about traveling? Breakfast at cheap fast food restaurants!
I have an unnatural love of breakfast; it’s the one meal I would never willingly skip. What puts me off most about long runs and race days is the fact that I usually can’t eat before the run; I am [...]
