Okay folks, the day has arrived (well, almost).
Tomorrow I run 10 miles, the longest I’ve ever run in my life (I’m hoping for eight out of ten).
Think of me starting at 8:30 am east coast time and don’t stop until around 11 am (if I’m not finished by then, they kick me off the course)!
I’ll […]

It’s official.
I’m a wreck.
Yesterday was shitty ass and while today is looking up, I’m not really back to my normal buoyant self.
Friday I was late (really late) to work. I called my boss to let her know, and then she wasn’t in when I got there. I was in for about an hour […]

I just got home. Check the time of the post, yep, that’s right, it’s after 1:30 in the am. On a school night.
Was I doing something fun?
Nope.
I was sitting in the hot, sweaty church office with Cindy, slaving over a hot copy machine, listening to bad corporate radio, putting together the book for […]

I think I have a problem.
I have too many books.
I have no more shelf space left and yet, in the last two days, I’ve purchased 20 books (at 6 for a $1 at two of my favorite thriftstores).
Having all of these unread books doesn’t stop me from requesting more from the library or borrowing them […]

My family got our first Subaru in 1986. It was also the first new car that parents ever bought. My mom loved it because it started every time you put the key in the ignition (a rarity for the first 10 of my parents’ marriage and joint car ownership years). It had […]

I walked into the building from the garage this afternoon around 5:30, in my normal swirl of post-work, almost home activity. Check package list at front desk, dig through bag for keys, open mail box, retrieve junk mail and bills, find building id card in wallet, glance at bulletin board in passing…whoa
I was […]

I’ve been in a funk, could you tell?
Doing my work has supremely difficult. I haven’t been running like I should be a week (A WEEK!) before the Broad Street Run. I was crabby towards the apple help desk guy (and I’m never rude to customer service people). I ate ice cream for […]

Hey Mel, happy belated birthday!
I was so worried Sunday, when I thought I had forgotten your birthday, and then look at what I did, I forgot to call you yesterday, when it really was your birthday. I love you!

My apartment is featured in Philadelpha Weekly today, if you’d like to check it out. It’s not the greatest article, but it’s fun to be there!

When I was in high school, my abilities to accomplish tasks were legendary. I created children’s theatre workshops, ran blood drives, acted in plays, coordinated youth group overnights, played handbells, organized and ran all technical aspects of school assemblies. I was driven, motivated and responsible.
Now I wonder, where did that girl go?
I don’t […]
