It seems that the older I get, the more I find my early years influencing my decisions.
And by early years, I mean toddler ones.
As a preschooler, I frequently joined Mom from the South at her various protests. Seeing that she was right-wing before the vast right-wing conspiracy was conspired, it’s safe to say that I [...]

Creative Juices Run Late

Being a night person is not necessarily a good thing.
Every night around 10 p.m., I’m suddenly wide awake. I haven’t had more caffeine than normal or exercised particularly late. My body just decides, “Hey I’m ready to work now!” Strangely enough, between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., those four hours are usually my most productive [...]
Post-traumatic Shopping Disorder
Posted in Uncategorized on November 25, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Without a doubt, the Internet has made Black Friday shopping worse (Yet another reason to love Al Gore…). Now, ads are leaked out weeks in advance, so people can fully strategize about what sales to hit.
I’ve been hunting for a good deal on a laptop lately. I should have bought one before school started, but [...]
Thanksmas

We have entered the period of the year where everyone is putting up Christmas decorations but still eating Thanksgiving leftovers. The term Thanksmas hit me at 2:45 a.m. this morning as I stood in the drive way of the Parentals from the South’s house and saw the Christmas wreaths and candle lights in the windows [...]

Saturday Means Library Day

It’s Saturday night, so that means I must be in the library! Is it possible to develop Stockholm Syndrome for a location? If it is, I’m a classic example.
All is not bad. I think I’m going out to Cleveland Park tonight for drinks. That doesn’t make me feel so punished.
Yesterday at work, we had a [...]
Extreme Home Relay

Got this from the ACS this a.m. Mark your calendars to watch! Relay for Life and Extreme Home Makeover–such a great combination. Plus, they did a 5-day Relay with more than 5,000 people participating. I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be.

The Wonderful Distraction of Busyness

Thank goodness that I was slammed today so that I couldn’t follow every breaking story. There’s so much spin going on in this town right now, that it’s likely to fall off the planet.
Since I had a two-hour presentation on public affairs theory this afternoon, I’m just catching up on the fallout of today. [...]

The AP, Fox, CNN, and the Tennessean have called it with Hamilton, Knox and Davidson Counties still coming in, so I’m off to bed a somewhat happy camper.
The worst thing tonight: Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the house. Honestly, that’s the real tragedy of the night. I’m not a fan of Hastert, but Nancy [...]
