In the past four years that I’ve lived in DC, the only thought I’ve given to Annapolis, Maryland, is that it is on my way to the beach. I don’t think I’ve ever once considered visiting the city. However, my roommate had heard great things about Annapolis and was eager to go. I agreed, but [...]

Kris Allen – my latest (American) Idol
I haven’t watched American Idol since season 1, when my roommates and I were addicted every week. (Remember that summer in the townhouse Jenny?) I didn’t watch this season either, but you’d have to live in a cave to not know that Kris Allen was voted in as the newest American Idol last night.

#90 Take all my spare change to the bank
I’m crossing another item off my 101 Things list. Today, I finally cashed in all my spare pennies. See, I hate pennies; they are worthless. Maybe I should say useless, since technically they do have some value. Ten pennies are a bother, but what about the jar above? I’ve been setting aside spare pennies for [...]
