On Adjusting
Alternatively Titled: Why I’m afraid I’ll never make new friends and be forced to spend my day playing ball with Pup I’ve been adjusting this week. Unpacking. Throwing out boxes and more crap that shouldn’t have even made the move to begin with. My biggest fear is beside me though. The same fear I had within months of moving to DC. What if I don’t make any friends? I left behind a pretty bad-ass group of gal pals in DC. I was extraordinarily sad to leave them behind, to have to say goodbye knowing that no where else in this world would I find friends like them. I should note, that it is because of this he

Cooking Oops
Alternatively Titled: Why I’m not Betty Crocker and/or Martha Stewart. I make it no secret that I like to hijack new recipes from bloggy folk. I generally get my recipes that I cook from bloggers and magazines like Fitness, Real Simple and Self. So the other day, Definitely RA mentioned what I thought, upon checking it out, was a bad ass recipe. I’m trying to get used to using my slow-cooker more often since it’s so effing handy, and knowing that my mom was co

I Caved
Currently reading…. Full review to come upon completion. [Author's note: depsite my previous...anti-Twilight tendencies, curiousity got the best of me. And with all the press for New Moon in the tabs recently (and all my trips to Target that have allowed me to read said tabs) curiousity got the best of me, and my subconscious dreamed about Twilight earlier this week. Since then, I've been curious. Eager almost. Today, my mum being the awesome mum she is, bought it for me at the Tar-jay. I don't have high expectations

I felt a few sharp pains around my knee. Not good. But I figure with a little ice, and some good sneaks I can ward off any real damage. Getting back to my point, last night I sent in my application for the 2010 NYC Marathon lottery. I’m pretty stoked, and keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get a lottery number. This month, I’m registerring for VT City again, hoping, praying that I can run a sub 5:00:00 marathon. Then, if all goes well? NYC will be #5. But h

Mission Slingshot Complete
Alternately titled why I will be hiring movers the next time we move. We have a lot of stuff. I don’t think you fully realize how much stuff you have until you try to shove it all in a 16′ moving truck. Good thing we upgraded because our crap? Was not going to fit in the 10′er that we were considering. Alternately, it seems like that much more stuff when you don’t have a lot of help. I was told by my mother that you can tell who your real friends are when you move. Unfortunately for us, we picked an awful weekend where everyone had plans or was out of town so I don’t think that’s fair. Though, in college, we did help one
