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…

‘She doesn’t even act married’
I am married. And I don’t always wear my rings. Recent gossip has decided to surround this fact. Before you burn me at the stake, let me explain why. ———————– Almost 5 years into my marriage, and I still don’t quite have this wedding-ring thing down yet. I forget to wear them when I should…

Marathon questions and I hate nature sometimes
Yes, I will run 26.2 miles at once. But even more than that, I will run hundreds of miles to prepare for those 26.2 … For anyone who has done this craziness before (I’m about to start getting ready for the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte in December) 1- What marathon training program do you…

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)
I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…

On summer memories and kitten costumes and best friends
We met in the summer of 1998, and we didn’t know yet that it would later be referred to as “THE summer.” You know, the one that tops all others. Erin invited me to be her roommate at the sorority house of which I would later become a member, and Colleen had been invited by…
