In or Out

I spent the majority of my life trying to be whatever I thought people wanted me to be. The perfect daughter, student, friend, girlfriend, wife… you name it… usually to my own detriment. Because it is hard to change who you are. Exhausting, really. Plus, the downside is that you don’t really know who YOU…

3 am

I don’t know why, but I seem to wake up at 3 am every day.  Usually, I can roll over and fall right back to sleep.  Sometimes, it requires a quick trip to the bathroom, but then right back to sleep.  Today – nothing.  I seem to be wide awake.  It is really frustrating, because…

Make Every Day a Party Dress Day!

I was reading Facebook posts the other day and came across one from my friend, Tiffany.  It said, “Make each day a party dress day.”  I started to really think about that and fell in love with the concept. Think back to when you were little, and there were parties around every corner.  Birthdays were…

The S is for Sucks

Today I had a lot of things planned.  Because planning is an essential part of any escape.  Right now, I am looking to escape from my married name.  I stopped using it online about a year ago, but I never really got around to getting it changed.  Mostly, I was lazy.  I admit it. A…

Flight of the Phlebotomists

This past week has been a rough one for me.  Actually, most of the last two weeks have been downright awful.  I ended up getting sick (again) and landed in the ER not once, but twice, and was admitted for 4 days the second trip.  I won’t get into the specifics of that, but let’s…

NerdFest 2011 Approaching

You know I’m all about geeks.  Seriously.  I can’t get enough.  I am still looking to get the right “Talk Nerdy to Me” t-shirt for my slogan tee collection.  I think brains are sexy.  And I love my fiance, who is also a geek… techie and gadget-oriented with a rockin’ brain and can match wits…
