Life, home, and a little travel

    Tiger Blood Bandwagon

    Charlie Sheen is pretty much certifiably banana pancakes crazy. No secrets there. So, I guess its no real secret that when you are off your rocker and in a manic state (Dr. Drew said so, so it must be right) anything you say could and might become a trending hashtag on Twitter. During one of…

    Vacation is over? Lame.

    One of the best parts about vacation is being on it – obvious I know. This is actually the view from our hotel room at the Boca Raton Resort. It is excellent for manatee watching – which I did every morning from the desk. One of the worst parts of vacation is transitioning back into…

  • An odd bunch

    An odd bunch

    Since I’ve been working in NYC, I would get really excited if I saw a celebrity. I would even blog about it if I could identify the actual name of the person. I didn’t really have much in the way of expectations for this weekend getaway for celebrities. My expectations were to soak up some…

  • Happy 200th Blog Post to Me!

    Happy 200th Blog Post to Me!

    This is my 200th blog post. I found it oddly worrisome about what I would write about (or not) – like there was someone out there who would find fault in my celebration. This is oddly hilarious because thanks to Google Analytics I know approximately how many people read my blog… and how many open it and…

    (Not a) case of the Mondays

    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…

  • Pretty day…. pretty life.

    Pretty day…. pretty life.

    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…

  • How many is too many?

    How many is too many?

    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…

    Dear Florida…

    … 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…

  • Competitive Sleeping

    Competitive Sleeping

    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…

    Top 5: Railroad Bliss

    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……
