Hail!

In the midst of having drinks with Tim & Co., we were subject to a hail storm!

Didn't Make It To The Gym

6 back-to-back interviews and one-too-many margaritas later...

Oh well.

Practice Makes Perfect

I'm taking the summer off from guitar lessons, partly because I'll be out of town a lot, and partly because I need to take that time to train for the tri. But I hope to pick up more or less where I left off, so I guess I still need to practice (and not lose my calluses!).

Mutually Difficult

Sometimes, when I'm breaking in new shoes, I find they tend to break me in too.

Biding Time

Thank God there isn't much to do at work this week - I need the break. Catching up on news/blogs/email/facebook as I wait for my next meeting to start.

It's Been a While

Making a fresh corn salad and a fresh fruit salad for Megan and Erik's engagement party. It's been so long since I've cooked - at this point, I'll do anything to be in the kitchen with my chef's knife in hand.

Couldn't be happier :)

Faded Youth

I started painting on my eyebrows earlier this year, which makes me feel old. I feel as if they don't have the gusto to stand out on their own anymore; that they are fading away with youth.

Stress Relief

You know what absolutely infuriates me? When people have their things stolen. Two of our Summer Camp participants had belongings stolen within the past 24 hours. What a horrible addition to their experience here.

I went running to burn off the stress.

A New Year

I've wanted to do a 365 for some time now, and really, when better to start than on one's birthday?

Today I had the chance to enjoy a little downtime while at work. :)
