A Toast to Me!

The past couple of weeks have been rather stressful.  Today was the day I had been waiting for.  After countless sleepless nights, I was finally able to sleep in.  Waking up, I decided to start the day with some fresh brewed coffee from the french press and warm oatmeal.  Then a trip to the puppy [...]

Wow, what a life changing couple of weeks this has been.   Over the past 10 days, I’ve had the following changes: On Wednesday, Dec 2nd, I moved to a new home On Friday, Dec 4th, I was gifted with a brand new beautiful baby niece On Saturday, Dec 5th, I got to meet my Niece [...]

Today is the day that my older brother an I are no longer the same age.  You see my older brother and I are 9 1/2 months apart, so for 2 1/2 months out of every year we are the same age.  When I was younger, this really bugged my brother.  I remember us going [...]

So the past few weeks have been hectic to say the least.  I’ve taken on new responsibilities in a time when I’m still trying to find that perfect job and a new roommate.  My head has been spinning with uncertainty and of course, my coping mechanism is to keep myself busy with tasks.  Needless to [...]

Whereas I pretty much grew up watching Saturday Night Live (SNL), I can’t say that I remember watching this particular episode.  It’s one with Jannette Jackson, Jimmy Fallon and a bunch of other people as they pay homage to a particular portion of the wine making process.  I got such a kick out of it [...]

So on occasion, and I use that term loosely, I go to the gym.  I know I should go more often, and I’m working on it, but fortunately for me, that’s not the reason for my post.  (See how cleverly I can get out of it?)  Anyways, my gym membership is to a local all [...]

It always amazes me to watch Chef’s cook. They come up with these concoctions that just sound and look delicious.  Of course I’m watching a cooking show at the moment called Chopped.  The premise of the show is similar to that of Top Chef, however it’s scaled down to a winner per show, rather than [...]

I don’t have a Mac, not that I don’t want one, I do — but I just don’t have one.  But as I was talking with Vanessa (my rockin’ roommate from afar – not to be confused with my dog-owning roommate) on the phone last night, she was telling me about how her Mac is [...]

One of my guilty pleasures is watching Gossip Girl. I know, cheesy, but it’s a show that actually makes me think. What I think about every week is — WHAT IF there were a “gossip” blog like “gossip girl”? or is there and maybe I just don’t know it. Gossip Girl’s identity is unknown, but [...]

Shhhh… don’t tell Peter!  We’re currently conducting an impromptu, unofficial non-voluteer meeting.  The topic — Beer appreciation.  We are evaluating the tested and true Belgian beers — Leffe and Hoegaarden.  The verdict.. yum! Come back for an in-depth eval later!
