Normally Mondays are fine days, I wake up early but it all seems just a bit rushed until I get to the hotel at night. I celebrate the end of the day by ordering a bacon cheese burger from room service with extra crispy fries. Last week I forgot to tell them to bring BBQ…
Normally on Mondays I am waking up at 5 in the morning to leave for NYC but this Monday I’ll be working from my comfy chair in the comfort of my bedroom. Pure bliss. Another example of pure bliss? The gorgeous weather we had this weekend in Boston. It was a great weekend of home…
I’ve never really been one for vitamins. I don’t really like to subscribe to anything that I need to do daily – except perhaps showering, coffee, and a few other activities. So when someone suggests that I should take a “daily vitamin” I’ve always run from that. But for the past year we’ve had this…
… get ready. Baby sister is beginning her life as a working professional in March and we decided to celebrate this by burning some of my Hilton points. The plans have changed 6-19 times as hotels have become booked and flights have become more expensive… but its finalized. Thanks to the fact that I on…
I’m pretty sure the last time I thought about sleeping being competitive was in college. College felt like a constant contest to see who could nap better. I’ve never been a good napper. This summer I definitely got better at it but I’m pretty sure that the sun, relaxing, and my mid-afternoon gin and tonic had something…
I’ve often blogged about the things that make me happy… Kraft Mac & Cheese, Coffee, Tivo, Sun, large bodies of water (this includes giant bathtubs, but not lakes)…. but I don’t think I’ve done a list specific to travelling. Since I travel each week on the Acela to NYC, this seems like a giant oversight……
While I would consider myself principled, when I want something I have been known to rationalize the hell out of a situation in order to make myself feel like I’m making the right decision. This behavior extends from procuring Starbucks to something worth much more (a la my ipad Max). So when I set the…
There are a handful of companies and industries out there that I think people find it very easy to hate. Some quick brainstorming with the household revealed this quick listing: Verizon Wireless Comcast Car Mechanics DMV the entire Airline industry People use Twitter to often complain about and to companies. There are entire departments of…
I’ve often told people that I want to have a dog some day …. and name it Interweb. But call it Webby for short. But don’t worry, if for some reason my partner in crime at the time didn’t like that name I’d happily settle for calling it Firefox and Foxy for short. I’m very…
…. or perhaps a tribute to something that was a giant? A few weeks ago, one of the family cats passed away suddenly. Abner was 5 years old and a very unique cat. Its hard to describe Abner but if I had to pick a few words/phrases they’d probably include: giant, black, scared of his…
