Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Barack Obama is President-Elect! YEAH BABY! WOOT!
in case it wasn't clear… we're engaged!
Sunday, October 26th, 2008So the Chop proposed Friday night (and yes, I said yes, lol), and while normally I'd be happy as a clam, my parents were not as enthused as I would've preferred Instead, my parents gave me a bit of grief because the Chop didn't ask permission for my hand—I should note ...
tigers and monkeys, oh my
Thursday, October 16th, 2008This is possibly the cutest thing in the world. You must look at the slideshow. Chop says I can't have one though. So mean. :P You KNOW you want one.
typeracer = new crack
Monday, September 22nd, 2008I just found TypeRacer, and let me tell you, it's crack for nerds like me. You race other people by typing paragraphs... the higher your WPM, the more races you win. Like I said, crack, lol.
the swell season
Saturday, September 20th, 2008The Chop and I just got back from seeing the Swell Season (Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, backed by The Frames—did the movie Once) in Boston and they were completely incredible. If they come anywhere near you, go and see them, you will not regret it. The group had gone for a ...

why I love vermont, part 1
Sunday, September 7th, 2008On our way home from VT, I got pulled over. Yippee for me, sigh. I was doing 82 in a 65... erm... but it was the middle of nowhere VT! Fortunately the guy was incredibly nice and only gave me a ticket for my expired registration. Yeah. I'm gifted. Not only ...
black and female
Friday, August 29th, 2008I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime... one major political party ticket has a black man and the other has a woman. Completely and totally awesome.
phelps wins 8, damn skippy
Saturday, August 16th, 2008I look forward to one day telling my kids that yes, I watched Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. And yes, I was probably working during every race and your dad was playing PSP, but we both PAUSED to watch Phelps. Every. damn. time. And it was ...
on olympics and family vacations
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Chop gave me grief today for not blogging for awhile, and the truth is, it's been a long couple of weeks. My best friend from high school and her husband stayed with us for a couple of days, then the morning they left, his parents flew in and stayed with us ...
