A Tennessee Trek

It’s been a long time (way too long) since I’ve written here and I really have no good excuse for my lack of posting, except that I’ve been too busy living life to write about it lately. But in light of recent big life-changing events, I feel a post is in order. I’ll try not [...]

Losing another loved one

I’ve sort of been ignoring this thing for a while, but today, I feel the urge to write. It’s been an interesting and sad week that began with a phone call on Sunday morning from my dad telling me that grammy was in the hospital and not doing well. She continued to decline and on [...]

Hey Delta, can you hear me?

About a month ago, I went to visit a dear friend in New York City. I flew, something I don’t usualy do when visiting her, because I got a cheap flight and it’s much quicker than any other mode of transportation. Unfortuntately, while I was in New York, the Northeastern U.S. experienced a massive rainstorm, [...]

A hair razing tale

It’s official: I’m getting my hair cut. (It’s a good thing because I’m pretty sure Mike, my friends and family are close to staging an intervention. Confession: I have no cut my hair since July 2008. Yeah, that was almost two years ago.)
Those of you who are close to me know that I am not [...]

Think spring

It’s spring! We’ve been experiencing such lovely (and unseasonable) weather in the last week that it seems to have put me, and nearly everyone else, in a really great mood. It’s hard not to smile when you can wear shorts outside in March in Massachusetts! Mike and I went on our first outdoor run last [...]

Walking on sunshine

Yesterday I wrote about my wild trip home from New York City to Boston that was slightly harrowing, but turned out OK in the end. And things are looking even brighter: Delta is going to refund the unused portion of my ticket! Woohoo! Even if Delta hadn’t agreed to the refund, I would’ve likely gotten [...]

A very wet weekend

As I wrote about last week, I’ve been traveling a lot lately. Mostly, the trips have been very smooth (one hiccup in Colorado, but it was handled remarkably well). I wouldn’t call myself a pessimist, but all the good travel luck I’d been having seemed to good to be true and I had a bad [...]

Empire state of mind

I’m off this weekend on my last little trip for a while (Easter at least), to visit my dear friend, Tristan, in New York City. All of my recent travels have been so fun, but I will definitely be happy to just have a few days off at home next weekend. We don’t have any [...]

The joy of cooking

I hate to jump the gun on this, but it actually feels like spring outside! Now that I’ve completely jinxed our lovely weather, we’ll probably have a wicked snowstorm. It is actually supposed to be really rainy later this week, not exactly ideal for my weekend in New York City, but I’ll take 50 degrees [...]

Whirlwind wedding weekend

I’ve successfully completed my third of four plane trips in the span of two months (three in three weeks!) and I’m already gearing up for my last weekend away from home for a while. I love traveling, especially when I get to see friends, as I will this weekend in NYC, but I am also [...]
