Folks, I told myself that I wasn’t going to use my blog for promotional reasons, but there are a few products out there, that when I come across them, I just want to share with everyone I know. Now is one of those times, so every once in awhile, you’ll see posts marked Stamp of [...]

I am on the farm in Iowa, but wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll be traveling to my aunt and uncle’s house later this morning, but wanted to quickly pop in here. In the spirit of the day, I decided to make a list of all the things I’m thankful for this year.
That [...]

I love the song “Desert Song” by Hillsong!! It’s been my saving grace the past week, which sadly has been pretty rough. For some reason the lyrics are really speaking to me right now. It’s been inspiring (and a good reminder) that I still have much to praise and be thankful for, even when times [...]

Say it isn’t so! Capital Weather Gang is predicting a light dusting of snow tonight. I might just cry. And I’ll say it again (I say this every year), if it snows, I’m moving south!
At least DCist had some words of wisdom for the region’s idiot drivers.
We’re by no means ready to trot out our [...]

Today I received an email from Hampton Inn saying my reservation was confirmed for two rooms in their Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania hotel. Two problems:
I’ve never heard of Bloomsburg, PA
I haven’t made any reservations at the Hampton Inn recently (or ever for that matter)
At first I thought it was spam, but the links checked out and the [...]

I’ve been MIA recently. Life has been a bit busy as the semester is winding down. I’ve also been on the job hunt and preparing to move tomorrow, so unfortunately blogging hasn’t been a priority. And, well, the muse just isn’t there. But, I’m always fond of sharing, so when three of my favorite things [...]

Even if you don’t like the sound of that, America has spoken. And very decidedly I might add. Barack Obama came out victorious last night. I for one am glad that it’s over. I may not agree with Obama on some issues, but he will be the next President of the [...]

I received SPAM email from John McCain this morning.
It’s not all that uncommon that I get SPAM email, but it’s very uncommon to get it in my personal email account – an address that I don’t give out to anyone other than friends or family. But, there it was this morning when I got [...]

It came down to the wire today, as I still had no idea who to vote for as I was standing in line. But considering, I had two hours to make up my mind, I had a pretty good idea by the time I got to the voting booth.
So, knowing that the polls would [...]

Two days left, and I couldn’t be happier. For one, I am really tired of all the talk about the election. I know it’s important, but I’m so over it. Can’t we just get this over with and find out who the winner is? The suspense is killing me. It’s like waiting for Christmas to [...]
