This may come as a surprise to some of you (or maybe not at all), but it seems that lately I have been overextending myself personally AND professionally. Not that I don't love a jam-packed highly exciting life, but sometimes I just want to step into a padded, sound proof room and scream my lungs out even though no one can hear me... maybe that's exactly what I need now that I think of it - definitely something to ponder for the future. Back to the heart of the matter, I think I am just a little ...
Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
In the simplest words possible, I'm a die-hard meatatarian (if that word even exists). Since I was little, I have pretty much despised all things that had to do with veggies other than corn and a few others- mushrooms, cucumbers, and carrots, and when I did eat them I only ate them fresh, meaning I hate cooked carrots and cooked broccoli- I'm weird, I know.Even now, I find it hard to eat certain meals that center around vegetables even though most of my family and friends have grown accustomed ...
Lord T & Eloise
This past Saturday night, Rory and I (along with some of our friends), got to experience quite a show when we ventured downtown to Mercy Lounge/Cannery Ballroom for the Lord T and Eloise Concert. One of my good friends, Ashley G, dates one of the lead rappers in the trio, and she has always told me whenever they came to town I just had to see them and promised I wouldn't be let down. Well, she was right... we all LOVED their show and I will definitely be joining them again the next time they ...
2009 Update…
For my friends that actually read my blog on a regular basis, you'll remember I posted about a month ago just what I intended to strive to accomplish in 2009- for those of you who don't, you can read the post here. With that being said, I wanted to post an update about my progress and just what I am working on.#1 - Become Debt Free: Weighing heavily on my heart for some time now, I have to toot my own horn a little bit because I have done surprisingly well in this department- not only have I ...
And the Nominees Are…
FINALLY! I've been waiting weeks to see who all would be nominated for the 81st Annual Oscars on Sunday, February 22nd... and to my surprise, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" received the most nominations with 13, including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Picture- this was by far my favorite movie I saw this past year and I was crossing my fingers it would get some nods by the critics. Other nominations for the big categories include: Best Picture: "Frost/Nixon", "Milk", "The Reader", ...
#44
OK, I'll admit it, I along with everyone in America, delayed working A LOT yesterday so that I could watch the inauguration festivities on TV - to be honest, I have never watched former president take their oath of office, deliver their inaugural speech, or sign the documents to officially become the President, so I was pretty interested to see what all the fuss is about. This was actually my very first presidential election to vote - the last time we re-elected Bush, I was in college and didn't ...
