One post – twenty minutes

22 minutes remaining… I have been sitting at my laptop for hours trying to decide what to write about. Of course I checked all the usual inspirational places: YouTube, StumbleUpon, and Amazon (hey, you gotta start somewhere). And then I went to the not quite so obvious inspirational places: Archie McPhee, ThinkGeek, and Threadless. Of [...]

Insert dumb blonde joke here

I recently went to the hair stylist for a trim and a little color. I don’t color my hair very often, but last year I decided to get some light blonde highlights put in my darker blonde hair. It was a spur of the moment decision that I enjoyed for awhile, but decided not to [...]

Starbucks made me a food snob

Don’t get me wrong, I love Starbucks. I love them so much that not a single week goes by that I don’t visit them at least once. It’s just that they have spoiled me for ordering directly off the menu. I go into Starbucks and I order my drink EXACTLY the way I want it [...]

A long time coming

It has been a little while since I last logged into here to check on all my wonderful readers (hi sis!). I have lovingly picked up my MBP several times over the past few weeks only to have to put it back down again shortly thereafter. Work has been calling my name non-stop for weeks [...]

Stop the voices in my head

I work for a company that looooves to have meetings. I attend meetings to talk about other meetings that I went to and then I attend other meetings that are scheduled to talk about new meetings that will be scheduled. But since all of these meetings are with people outside of my office, they all [...]

Tie some white on

Time to take some time out for a good cause and it won’t take a whole lot of effort – I promise. I will even tell you what to say (well I took these from the Knot.org website, but it is almost the same thing): 5 Things You Can Say… when someone asks you why you [...]

For want of a mouse

How do you know when it is time to step away from the computer? I know when my hand falls asleep. Recently I have noticed that my hand will start to go all numb and tingly after using my laptop for awhile. I am pretty sure that this is due to the fact that I [...]

Math starts at home

I just read an article about how Mathematica now has a home edition. If you are not familiar with the product, let me enlighten you a little bit. It is THE most intense math program you will ever encounter in your life!!!!! It does everything math related. Those smart guys over at Wolfram Research have [...]

Ice cold and dark

I really wish that the title of this post described a tall frosty beverage. Instead it describes the weather around here. No matter where you go or what you do it is cold. At least this year the electricity is on and the heater is working just fine (thank whatever Higher Power you may pray [...]

The Yoga of Star Wars

It is no secret as to how crazy things have been around my house lately. Sometimes I feel like I am constantly running from one place to another. So today I thought it might be a nice day for everything to slow down. America changed today, so I think I can too (at least for [...]
