I hesitate to write about this.
I tend to stick to funny stories, or stories that are my own- where I’m center stage (for better or worse) and my actions are the ones that can be judged. But I find myself thinking more and more of what I’m trying not to write instead of what I [...]

When you think about it, blogging is a lot like high school. Sure, we’re a little older, a little wiser and we’ve been using Facebook longer than most of today’s actual high school students, but there are similarities.
We may not have lunch tables to sit at or cliques to linger with in the common area [...]

Last week was a great week.
The higlight? Getting in touch with someone I havent had contact with for about a decade. She’s smart, beautiful and into sports. She’s been through some of the same things I have and even though we’ve never been very close, she’ll always be a part of me.
She’s my sister. Like every [...]

This week I had the pleasure of guest posting for the lovely Angilio while she was partying it up in Vegas. On her blog I talked about what I had wanted to “be when I grew up” as a child. I had planned to write something different for my post here this week, but since [...]

A friend of his gave my boyfriend cocaine for his birthday.
Nevermind that he has never done cocaine and doesn’t intend to do cocaine.  It is a little reminiscent of adolescent peer pressure, like when I was convinced that it was a really good idea to serve as the requisite “egg” in a rambunctious trampoline game [...]

Ok, so this morning I was reading this post* and one of the “secrets” really struck a chord inside of me.
It was #6. No wait, I mean #5. Seriously, I dont have any blog man crushes. It was defininetely #5.
“5. My company is making more personnel cuts and I really hope I’m on the chopping block. [...]

You know what makes this even worse?
I actually had this whole other post planned. It was going to be funny and thoughtful and there was a chance it might have ripped your heart out- but in the good way that everyone likes their heart to be ripped out.
Instead.
Instead I received an email tonight from someone [...]

I met my high school boyfriend when I fell off a bus. Of course, I was mortified, when I turned around to whisper a joke to my friend Jane, missed a step, and went flying forward from the big yellow school bus that had transported my class to an annual end-of-the-year field trip at a [...]

So, apparently spare time and me are not the best of friends at the moment.
As such, I leave you with a question to ponder…
If you could send a slip of paper back in time to your 16 year old self with one bit of advice or wisdom, what would it be?

So I was driving down to Pueblo, Co to see my family today (which is about two and a half hours away from Denver, where I live) and she asked me a question that caught me totally off guard.
Is there any of your ex’s that you wish you were still with?
Now this is kind of [...]

We live in an instant world. Instant coffee, instant messaging, instant car starters. We wait for nothing. We can fast forward our commercials, email our letters and drive-thru for our meals.
Everything happens so quick that when I actually am forced to wait for something; eggs to cook, Saturdays paper, a doctor to see me, life [...]

So. I’ve been a complete and utter failure at writing on this blog ever since I started grad school and have decided to give my day away to someone more worthy.
Since I own this blog, I will surely not disappear completely… and I will be around on weekends and random weekdays when I have something [...]

Last week, since I had ever-so-delicately sliced my finger open with the blade of a food processer, (and because, OK, you’ve got me, I didn’t actually sit down to write a post until 7:30 AM Friday and thought, I just can’t deal with this right now) my typing was impaired and you were treated to [...]

Like Pavlov’s dogs, I’m learning that certain triggers will send me into an unplanned response. More specifically, certain phrases will send me into a blood curdling, hair tingling, cold and uncomfortable sweat that will prompt me to lie in the fetal position under my bed and drink whiskey until I think I AM Johnny Cash.
Okay, [...]

Hello all… long time no see!
In honor of April Fools Day, I am recycling my post from last year… enjoy!
***************
On April 2nd, 2008…
So yesterday was April Fools Day and boy do I love a whole day devoted to making people feel like idots. Ha. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to play any deliciously [...]
