  • Overweight people at the gym

    I mentioned yesterday that I could blog on this topic, and someone asked me if I was going to make fun of overweight people at the gym. Oh, heavens no! I hate that someone even thought that for a moment. The reason the topic has been on my mind lately is that I have had…

  • Great photos, fun design, sweet baby

    Ingredients for the perfect birth announcements: An adorable baby, modern, hip parents, and a great photographer. Check out the announcements I designed for my new nephew – the blanket he is sleeping on is his dad’s baby blanket – how cute is that?

  • High school photos round 3

    I thought I published this a long time ago, but it appears I didn’t actually hit “publish.” If you want to see old photos of me and my friends, here you go! Here are pictures from 1995-1996: See photos from 1993-1994 here and read about the photos here and here.

  • Things ive learned in texas

    My time in Texas has been way too short, and it’s been all work and no play (unless you count running as play, which I sort of do.) I was excited to come here as the only other time I’ve been to Texas has been on a layover at the Houston airport. However, I’m not…

  • Items I have found while helping my parents move

    – a cassette tape labeled, in my handwriting, “Dad’s cool mix.” I haven’t yet uncovered a tape player to see what’s on this gem. – a framed photo of me as a child asleep on a training potty, my wonder woman panties around my ankle and a book in my lap. My grandmother had this…

  • So I had this dream last night …

    Just kidding, I’m not going there (for you non-Facebookers, I posted that I had weird, good dreams and it was requested that I blog about it – which I will not do, since Lance’s young ears would be disturbed … wait, Lance, I thought you were older than me!) I was told it might be…

  • What not to say in the bathroom

    Driving halfway across the country with my parents is both interesting and reminiscent of car trips when younger. We are driving to Texas so we can pack up their home so they can move back East. But of course I am thinking o summers spent traveling to visit family out west. It is strange not…

  • And he didn’t want to be seen with me …

    Chris’ comment on one of my posts recently reminded me of a story: Last year I was in Athens visiting Chris, and one of the things we had promised each other we would do during my week here was to have a crazy workout schedule. We made a pact that above all else, workouts would…

  • My parents

    Whitney recently showed off her new tattoo and wrote about how it was inadvertently her dad’s idea, even though he hates tattoos. Of course, as I was reading this very entertaining tale (seriously, check it out), I couldn’t help but think of my own parents and their relationship with my tattoos … You can see…

  • Running tip: Don’t get hurt, don’t get hurt, don’t get hurt

    Running is a dangerous sport. Really! It is. Case in point: Kevin busted ass this week during a run at the Greenway in Fort Mill. And by busted ass, I don’t mean run really fast. I mean he tripped and fell, face first, onto the trail. He’s lucky his knee is only bloody, not fractured.…
