Verizon sucks

Since I moved into my apartment in Boston we’ve been “borrowing” Internet from our neighbors. Unfortunately, our streak of luck is up–the neighbors moved out. Yesterday I spent nearly an hour and a half attemtping to get Internet installed in our house. And it’s still not all settled. First, the Web site kept saying my [...]

Down to business

Since my dad came home from the hospital and began to recover, we’ve had a break from the intense stress we felt for six long months when he was in the hospital. Unfortunately, this has only been a temporary vacation. We all needed to rest, recover and come back to our normal lives, but now [...]

Sharing in the pain

A few years ago I had a boyfriend that I loved very much. He was the person who I thought I was going to be with forever. But just as things were going so well, his dad was diagnosed with liver and lung cancer. He was emotionally overwhelmed and while I thought I was equipped [...]

Summertime and the livin’s easy

I’m back at work after an incredible lake weekend and already thinking about the next one. Between the gorgeous weather and good company, it was an amazing time. My cousins are visiting from California and seeing them was so fun. Little Emma has turned into an even sweeter kid than she was before. She was [...]

Talk about a bridezilla

I just stumbled across this article from The New York Times and all I can say is WTF! These people are crazy! Asking someone to get Botox or a breast augmentation to be your bridesmaid is beyond ludacris. These people need to get a serious grip on reality. A wedding is about the love [...]

Steps to a better life

Yesterday I said I hadn’t done anything to change the system or rebel against it in any way and after thinking about it more, I decided that’s not really true. I quit a job I hated, moved to a city I love near my boyfriend, friends and family. Now I can go home whenever I [...]

Society, you’re a crazy breed

“Society, have mercy on me/I hope you’re not angry if I disagree.” -Eddie Vedder
A lot of people complain about their jobs. I used to complain about mine all the time because I hated it. You might think hate is too strong of a word, but not in this case. Every minute of being there was [...]

Living well

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been a Dave Matthews Band fan for a very long time. Seeing them in concert twice this year renewed my love for their music and I’ve been listening to them a lot lately. One song that I have become particularly attached to is the version of [...]

Lots of land and riding dirty

For most of my life I have lived in rural locations, the small towns of America. I never really knew that people did things differently in the big city, but now that I live in one, I am aware of differences and unsure of how I feel about them. Mostly, I think people in the [...]

Friend-filled weekend

This weekend was full of good times with friends. Starting with the Dine Like a President Dinner at The Fireplace in Brookline on Friday, it was a stellar weekend indeed. Mike and I had so much fun sampling the fare of presidents’ past (and present). The food was incredibly delicious, starting with a delectable cheese [...]
