    What? I’ve been busy.

    I haven’t blogged in awhile. Don’t be mad. I’ve just been super busy. It’s been a whirlwind of a week. Remember last week when I posted those great pictures of me walking to work through the park? Well, this week I’m in Phoenix. I can walk to the client for sure (in gorgeous weather no…

    Wine, Cheese, and America

    Are you tired of seeing pictures of America yet? I sure hope not. I’ve really enjoyed Instagram-ing the hell out of this place. Yesterday was my last night in DC and true to form, Meghan did not disappoint. Knowing my love of cheese, white, and the night sky she pulled together an easy and great…

    Nice and Easy

     I love it when life is nice and easy. Even if it comes with a dash of rain. Doesn’t that dinner look delicious? Well it was. I’ve always loved a dinner cooked by Meghan and this one was no different. On the menu? Butternut Squash soup with broiled fish and tasty salad. Meghan’s parents have…

    It's Naomi, thanks.

    I’m on day 2 of returning to the working world and I really just want to work.  Is that so bad? I have this crazy itch to get into the groove of things again and maybe start making a difference in this great world of ours. In life I tend to balance between being hyper-involved…

    Cultural Adventures in DC … not at a Blind Pig

    I experienced something yesterday that I had not experienced in a month.  Impatience. It was this really weird sensation and I didn’t even really know what was happening until after I had “recovered”. What was I impatient about? Running. Like all I could think about was putting on my running clothes and “hitting the open…

    Oh America

    In continuing my tour of America the beautiful, I am now in DC. Yep, the capital of America. I don’t know how many people are lucky enough to see 3 of their best friends on consecutive Sundays. All I know… is that I am one of them. Need a reminder? This week DC, last week…

    Planes and Pretzels (Day 10)

    Travel days aren’t really super exciting, but I feel like they are a great opportunity to remind myself that patience is a virtue and being nice pays off. I wouldn’t say that patience has always been a characteristic I exhibit, but I have learned that you only move as quickly as the masses in travel……

    Live Update: Security and more security (day 10)

      Security and more security. I’ve never seen lines like this. Looking forward to being home! xoxoxo.

    A Rain Day for LA (Day 9)

    As a Bostonian, I think nothing of any real type of precipitation. We get rain, we get snow. Hail even shows up from time to time. So, when we woke up to rain this morning pelting the leaves of the palm tree…. I wasn’t really affected. But, apparently people in LA are terribly confused by…
