Crossing My Fingers Daily

Now the waiting game begins.  As if I haven’t been waiting for months already.
The hardest part about all this waiting is that I know what everyone is thinking, How awesome that her boyfriend is supporting her while she binges on bad crime drama all day.  And yes, I admit, that’s what it seems like is [...]

Just Be Yourself

Here I am, once again on the eve of an interview.  Nervous, as usual.  Because the thing is, I haven’t had a lot of success with interviews lately.  Oh, sure, there’s any number of reasons that they didn’t work out but the fact remains that they did not work out.  And that leaves my confidence [...]

Benefit of the Doubt

That’s what I’m asking for here.
Yes, I’ll admit, it’s almost eleven p.m. on a Saturday night, but you should really give me the benefit of the doubt.  As long as I can navigate the backspace (I promise I won’t use the spell check) I think you should read me (if you’ve gotten this far).

Tonight, after years of missed opportunities, I’m finally seeing David Sedaris speak.  
The first time I had a really good reason for not seeing him: I was in Spain visiting a friend.  A friend of mine who did see him, however, took my copy of Me Talk Pretty One Day and had him sign it  - [...]

Run Like A Girl

That’s right: I participated in and successfully completed the Nike Women’s Half Marathon.
And all I got was a fancy Tiffany’s necklace (What is it about that trademark blue box and white ribbon that drives the ladies wild?) and t-shirt.  
Also the satisfaction of knowing that I successfully completed a half marathon.  Without training.  In two [...]

This weekend is the race that I’ve supposedly been preparing for for, oh, about 7 months.  In truth, though, I haven’t been preparing all that well at all.  I had good intentions, of course, but my follow through was sadly lacking.  I’d like to blame it on the funk that I’ve been in since moving [...]

My New Favorite Web Site

ecards!
I got this link from a friend and the cards are hilarious.  So much more inventive than the cards from evite.  
Need to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend but are too much of a pussy to do it face to face?  This is for you.  Too afraid to approach that cute brunette in accounting, [...]

It will make you laugh.  And possibly cry.  Who doesn’t want to be loved like this?  
Thanks to my brother for scouring Craigslist for things like this.

A Few Good Things….

About Southern California:
We went hiking at Alta Laguna this morning/afternoon.  For two and a half hours.

Missing the Seasons

Last night my brother sent me this text message:
Followed by this voice mail: You have never been more jealous of me in your life.  And yes, I am a bit jealous about this. 
When people find out that I’m originally from Idaho the question I get asked most frequently is, “How do you like it down [...]
