You Won’t Belize Where I’ll Be This Weekend!

Oh, man, those Belize puns don’t ever get old.  Well, not to me they don’t.  But if they bother you, don’t worry, they’ll end soon.
Because at about this time tomorrow I’ll be boarding a plane to…Argentina.  Ha!  No, just kidding.  I’ll be boarding a plane to Belize.  Well, actually, that’s not entirely true either.  We’ll [...]

Riddle Me This

This afternoon while driving I saw a Smart Car (which, if you ask me, is just about one of the dumbest cars out there) with the license plate FOR24ME.  Now, this is obviously a personalized license plate – a present for her 24th birthday?  A present for her 40th birthday but for the 24-year-old in her? [...]

Belize Me, It Will All Work Out

We leave for Belize this weekend, stopping in Miami for a connecting flight.  And guess who might keep us in Miami longer than we anticipated or thought?  Gustav.  Hurricane Gustav, that is.  Hopefully he’ll be well out of our way by the time we fly out.
Obviously, there’s always that possibility but I’m not going to [...]

28:32

The time I ran my 5k this morning.  Not bad, I say.  Well, I mean, except for the fact that small children beat me.  But, as my friend so eloquently put it: “…screw kids they weigh like 5lbs.
My thoughts exactly.  they’ll grow out of their fast-runningness.
I think I’m ready for this half marathon.
P.S.  At this [...]

Retail Therapy

In spite of the fact that I still have yet to find a job, I have done a little retail therapy, hoping that this would be a way to lessen the funk that seems to have settled around me since moving here.  Mostly I’m okay, but every once in a while it hits me that, [...]

Why Does McDonalds’ want to Hurt my Gym Routine?

I just read this article by Emily Yoffe and let me tell you this: she is right on.  I just had my third session – of four – with a personal trainer (Is it fair at this point to call her my personal trainer?  I feel a little guilty, seeing as how I’m only doing it [...]

A Good Weekend (wherein I discover that Dodger Dogs are not all that fancy after all)

 
I don’t know what the big deal is about Dodger Dogs.  I mean, they taste like boiled hot dogs – like every other ball park I’ve been to.  The only difference is that they’re longer than the other ones.  Which was not all that exciting as I like a bit of bread with each bite [...]

Weekend Preparations

This weekend my parents are coming in for a quick trip – seriously, it’s less than 36 hours – so I’m preparing for the visit.  There’s nothing like an impending parental visit to motivate a good cleaning.  
We are slowly setting up our apartment so that it looks like we actually live here.  Pictures, shelves, [...]

The Downhill Slope

 
 
That’s me and Wes on our diving adventure from Sunday.  We did our final three dives for Open Water Diver certification and simultaneously celebrated my 26th birthday.  
The past couple of dives have been, um, not as fun as I had anticipated.  My ears refused to equalize in a timely manner and I was always [...]

Two Days Away from Late Twenties

In two days I officially make the transition from mid-twenties to late twenties.  I will be 26 this Sunday.  Normally, Wes and I do BIG things for our birthday, but this year we are spending it on the Cee Ray, completing our final dives in our quest for SCUBA certification to enjoy are trip to [...]
