In today’s fast-paced world, 10 days out of the country seems like months. In just 10 short days, Paul Newman died, B-list stars Travis Barker and DJ AM were almost killed in a plane crash, and the stock market collapsed. We did manage to catch a replay of the presidential debates while we were gone, and [...]

Nothing new to report. I’m still flip-flopping between feelings of excitement (for the trip) and feelings of anxiousness (over all the shit I still have to do before we leave). I’ve been updating the list I made in the previous post, so check back there to see my progress.
Actually, now that I think about it, I [...]

Four days.
That’s how long I have to:
Pack 10 days worth of outfits and toiletries
Print all of our travel info DONE
Find our boarding passes for the ship (did they send them? do I have to print them from online? I DO NOT KNOW!) Travel agent emailed me and showed me where to print the documents online. [...]
Because I’m in a good mood…

Because it’s Friday and I just love Fridays (both the day, as well was the restaurant), I figured I would take a moment to talk about some of the other things I love, besides my new camera of course.
I’m about 35 pages from the end of this book. It’s an easy, enjoyable read and if I [...]
New Camera

Last week I told you I was in the market for a new camera and that I was considering a Canon. Everyone had wonderful things to say about Canon which only reconfirmed my decision to buy one. And buy one I did.
It all started with this PC World article rating the best point and shoot [...]

My husband is being very romantic these last couple of days, and I don’t think it’s just because of our mini-anniversary. If we weren’t already married, I’d think he was about to propose.
Four Years
Posted in Uncategorized on September 9, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Yesterday marked four years since the day I met my husband. For those that don’t know the story, we met on the basketball court of our old apartment complex. Just two strangers who happened to live in the same complex, striking up a conversation late one September evening. Who knew such an innocent conversation could [...]

Exactly two weeks from today, my husband and I will embark on our first overseas adventure. For those who haven’t stared at my itinerary like I have for weeks now, I’ll tell you that we’re flying into Barcelona, then boarding a cruise ship that will take us to Malta, Naples, Rome, Florence, and Nice, France [...]
Smells like high school
Posted in All About Me, Once upon a time on September 3, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I notice it every year. September never fails to produce the undeniable scent of cool morning dew and fading oak leaves. It’s the smell that reminds me of nylon backpacks and freshly sharpened pencils; of shaded bus stops and squeaky school bus gear shifts; of a new pair of sneakers and a couple of crumpled [...]
