I seem to be going back and forth between Halloween posts and Election Day posts – two things I’m very passionate about. My apologies if you don’t feel that passionate about it, you should probably stop reading now…I was sent a grand little e-mail this morning, that I just have to share since we’re moments away from a HUGELY exciting and nervewracking election (which...

Last night I went to my first haunted house production since my third-grade self was blindfolded and forced to stick my hand in a bowl of peeled grapes and spaghetti at the low-budget Halloween spook fests held in elementary. “Oooh. Are you going to be SKAA-red?” Baby Daddy said to me before we left. Uh, no, not likely. I mean, are we talking scared or startled? I don’t know if a haunted house with... Read more

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Airlines stock you would have $49.00 left. If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left. But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one... Read more

I received flowers at work yesterday – such a nice surprise! Some girls I’ve known have said that receiving flowers at work would be super embarrassing for them. Not me, no sirree. Send me flowers every day, if you feel so inclined. After work, Baby Daddy explained to me how he ordered the flowers: “Usually I just call and say, “Red roses.” “But I saw this pic, and I...

At work on Friday, we had a celebration lunch scheduled after our four-hour marketing meeting. We arrived at Purple Wine Bar & Café on 4th Avenue (one of my all-time favorite places) at 1:30 and our Global VP of Marketing announced, “Cancel all your meetings – we’re not going back to work.” We then proceeded to order appetizers, lunch, dessert, wine, wine and more wine until the boyfriend...

Courtesy of one of my favorite bloggers: From photographer, Callie Shell: These two boys waited as a long line of adults greeted Senator Obama before a rally on Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, S.C. They never took their eyes off of him. Their grandmother told me, “Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King’s words can be true for...

I finally stuck in Jillian Andrew’s fitness DVD, “30-Day Shred” tonight. I first read about it on This Fish, who the linked to her blog friend who started it as well. Both girls mentioned how difficult but effective it’s rumored to be. My curiosity was piqued, (not peeked or peaked), and I ordered it that day from Amazon.com. After a couple more weeks of groveling about my extra... Read more

“One year, I was a milkshake.” “Oh yeah, how’d that work…” “I wore red tights and a red sweater, and my mom made this big felt cup with brown felt on the top. I glued Sweetheart boxes around the edge and cut holes out the sides for my arms.” *Laughs* “And one year, I was nuclear waste. I wore a Hazmat suit and had slime everywhere.” “Huh,... Read more

Lots and lots of fall-time events this past weekend. I went to a pumpkin patch with the boyfriend, the new roomie and friends on Sunday. My friend’s older sister expressed her concern to my friend before I showed up, “Does 20-Something know how to, you know, dress for the pumpkin patch? Will she know to wear tennis shoes?” Apparently because I’m almost always dressed up and in heels when my... Read more
