A rock-star weekend
So, pretty standard weekend for me … (uh, not in the least). I won’t go into all the details since I did so on Twitter in great detail as they were happening (sorry for anyone who did not want to know every second of my nephew’s birth) but my sister had her baby on Friday…

The child becomes the mother. The sister becomes the aunt. And history repeats.
Today, my baby sister will become a mother. How is this possible? I remember the day I met Jenny, the day I became a big sister. My grandmother brought me a doll to give to Jenny, and it became my first gift to her. I felt very big sister about the whole thing, and given…

Marathon: It’s official
I just signed up for Thunder Road! I can’t back out now! Like Justin said, now the fun begins …

Try it my way, and you will never look at shoes the same again
Before I even knew he was the one I would meet, he was watching me as I walked through the door and made my way across uncrowded but busy room. He studied me silently, knowing it would be necessary to note the details of my every movement. Did he know how much he would impress me later by noticing me…

Why I don’t have a new bike yet
Quite simply, because I can’t afford it. Kevin got a new bike this weekend – you can read about it here. He’s lucky it’s a guy’s bike or else I would steal it. As you see he notes in his post, he bought the cheapest Carbon Fiber bike the brand makes and the MSRP on…

No, it’s not because I am a vampire (though I do have pale skin).
When I graduated college the job market was in a much better place than it is now. I went on 5 job interviews and got 5 job offers. They all were really great offers in their own right but the one job I really wanted, and landed, was a page designer/copy editor job at the daily…

On chasing hot, shirtless guys and new bikes and running in the middle of the night
Busy weekend. I was on deadline this weekend with one of my magazine clients. August is Healthy Kids month, so be sure to pick up your copy of Natural Awakenings if you have kids or if you just want to see my design work! Friday night after working, Jeff and I headed up to Big…

Why do I ask what you think if it doesn’t matter?
Heather chopped off several inches of her hair recently and it looks phenomenal. Of course, a new haircut is always strangest for the person who owns the hair – I know, as I’ve had many different hairstyles over the years … Which makes me think about my haircut theory. A decision so major as to whether…

From training bras to hotel porn to 31
Our friendship was sealed at 8 years old when we decided to spell it out on the Lite Brite: “Amy and Melissa: Best Friends Forever.” We lived across the street so that made this arrangement very convenient, but over the years we’ve ended up an entire 15-minute drive from each other and I’ve realized proximity…

So many things to be excited about …
So my nephew is due to arrive in this world on July 23, and I have pretty much put all plans on standby until I get that phone call from my sister that she’s going to deliver her first born. In the meantime, I’m happy he doesn’t seem to be arriving during a major client…
