man… so… i don’t know if i’ve temporarily acquired some offshoot of ADHD, or what. but i have gotten so much done lately. too much, actually. i don’t know where it’s all coming from. buying a gym membership at one of the local CrossFit…

let me start out by saying that… my weirdness is not random. at all. my mom is weird. my dad is weird. my weirdness was, unavoidably, inherited. and i can never thank my parents enough. HOWEVER, they still catch me off guard from time to…

i’m not dead–just… preoccupied. and i’ve been preoccupied with anything that does not involve sitting in front of the computer. well, unless i’m at work. and then i have no choice. this is the longest i’ve gone without either going home,…

i am pretty sure the entire globe knows the iPhone 4G preordering started today. i don’t think you can go on the internet without it being thrown in your face. let me first say–i need i say more? since i couldn’t preorder the new one, i…

i made cake balls last night. cake balls that turned into more of… cake lumps. brett and i went the lazy route for dinner and made a freschetta pizza, and in doing so, i decided to direct all my extra energy into creating these… things.…

after the hermit crab story, i started thinking about other fun adventures from when i was little. 1 in particular was not so fun, but it is mildly entertaining (at my expense) so i will share it with you. if you ever thought YOUR friends…

i hate shopping. i. hate. it. i especially hate shopping with other people. and i especially hate shopping with other women. someone PLEASE tell me i’m not the only female on the planet who shares this opinion. i think it’s safe to say…

what would’ve happened if i had never joined partyapp.com , waaay back when, in 2004? an offshoot of campusblender.com and partyincollege.com, partyapp.com consumed far too many hours of my life, but it also SERIOUSLY changed it for the…

when i was 9 (i think?), my friend becky and i took a trip to the outer banks with my mom and dad. this trip spawned the 2 year period wherein i became obsessed with hermit crabs. completely, and totally, obsessed . ironically, it was also…

we managed to get the curtains up, and we survived to talk about it. actually, the entire moving process over these last 2 weeks has gone really smoothly. it’s been over a year and i still can’t believe how easy things have been between…

i have nothing against overweight people. we’re all different. HOWEVER. when you live in an apartment complex, and every member of your family is largely overweight, and you are not on the ground floor, PLEASE have respect for the people…

today has been productive so far. i will say that much. i got more signatures. see, they give us this check in sheet. it has like.. 13 things on it. each “thing” is a department and/or person you have to find, give them one of your 823943…

first… the back story: today was my first day at my “new job”. i say “new job” because i will pretty much be doing what i’ve done every day for the past year, only under a different title and a different pay check. i was previously a…

tuesday night, brett and i finally got everything unpacked and settled into the new apartment. no more giant cardboard boxes stacked to the ceiling. no more plastic bags strewn about. no more random crap everywhere . it’s a good feeling.…

i woke up this morning and it felt like i’d been hit by a truck. everything that could be sore… is sore. even my hands are sore. my legs look like they’ve been beaten with a stick. i don’t remember being this sore the last time i moved. i…

i know i’ve stated this a few times before… BUT GIVE ME A BREAK. why in the hell is something always wrong with me physically? always. if it’s not a sinus infection, it’s my asthma. if it’s not my asthma, it’s just allergies. which…

last week, i decided saturday would be my official “start packing” day. brett and i are moving into a new apartment this weekend and despite the fact that i weeded out A METRIC F*CKTON of crap, i still had a lot more crap to sift through.…

on may 9 of last year, i was huddling in the bottom of the holmes convocation center at ASU with my fellow CIS nerds, anxiously awaiting the moment we were told to turn our tassels. my whole family came to boone to celebrate with me. my…

first of all, we slept until like, NOON on saturday. which was awesome. brett woke up craving omelettes. i woke up craving french fries. i told him i’d give him my card if he went to the diner down the street and picked up “breakfast” for…

PIG from shortstack on Vimeo . i still don’t quite understand what he was doing in the woods behind our apartment. loki seemed to like him. :wink:

way to go, me. yesterday, i jumped the gun by saying, “today is one of those days,” when yesterday actually turned out to be pretty damn good. and then karma came back to bite me in the ass. first of all, brett and i were woken up this…

so, remember the client drama i was having a while back ? it’s still not over. to be fair, i’ve been paid in full for 1 of the 2 websites i did for Company X. BUT… i am still owed $400. Website A was completed months ago. i was paid 100%…

i don’t know what i was dreaming about, but it made sense at the time. everything makes sense at 1AM. W: where are my headphones?? B: what are you talking about? W: I NEED MY HEADPHONES. B: you aren’t making any sense. why do you need your…

i’ve been so busy enjoying brett being home that i’ve completely neglected this website. i actually love that. it means that i got my face away from the computer long enough to forget about this thing, and RELAX. i have not, however, been…

after this weekend, i feel so liberated. the CISSP is over, though i still feel like i should be studying for something. it feels weird not having my nose in a book all day every day. i completed every website i was working on for the past…
