happy hodgepodge

I am linking up over a my mom's blog this week.  I'm trying to get back in the routine of posting more than once a week...
1. When did you last send a postcard? Receive one? Do you save postcards sent to you? Do you collect and/or send postcards when you travel?  I can't remember the l…

The Newseum and Nintendo

Just wanted to share a couple snippets from this past weekend. Saturday me and this guy headed in to the city to visit the Newseum with two of his friends from Charleston. I had never been before and was really excited to check off #83 from my list.
Before you even get inside you can check out the…

those girls

I never did a recap about my fourth of July weekend and one of my friends made sure to point that out to me. What can I say... I've been busy. They forgive me though. And I think I've said it a time or two that every time we're together it's like no time at all has passed.

The roomm…

Giblets

There is nothing I like more than handling giblets and raw chicken at 7am.
I'm sorry-that was a typo.
There's actually a huge long list of stuff I'd rather do at that time of day. Mostly I'd rather be in bed.

Monday morning I woke up early and put together a crock pot dinner for mys…

It's Wednesday

I have a short week as I'm sure a lot of you do. Our office is closed Thursday AND Friday and we are closing down early on Wednesday.  So really, if you think about it, today is like my Wednesday. I have a pretty exciting month coming up and am hoping I can stay motivated while I'm living f…

five thoughts on friday

Happy first day of summer y'all!! I have been under the weather the past week and a bit so the blog has taken a back seat. My brain is mostly concentrating on coughing, sneezing and breathing as discreetly as possible so as not to gross out my co-workers. It's a big job. 
So since my head&…

The Hodgepodge

1. What do you think makes a good dad? 
Someone who will kill the spiders left trapped under a Tupperware container by his girls for 3 days waiting for him to get home from a business trip.
Someone who works hard but still loves to play restaurant with his daughters. (My dad was the number one cust…

What I Read in May

Ender's Game- Orson Scott Card- Go out and read this book right now. My roommate had been telling me over and over how I just had to read this book and I finally bought it at the airport on some recent trip and I finished it by the time we landed. It's that good. So good that when my roomma…

Best Birthday Weekend

I have just been smiling all weekend because I am oh so incredibly blessed to have such amazing friends who made my birthday so wonderful!

My roommates... y'all...I have had the best roommates ever! Ever since I left my parents house and moved into the dorm and then to an apartment and then to …

Five on Friday

one. Today I am 25. The big two five. And you know what? This year is going to be a hundred times better than 24- I can promise you that! 
two.I have some special visitors coming in to town today and I just feel so blessed that I have such loving friends. Even though we all live many states apart, a…

Monday Monday

Usually I am anti-Mondays. I mean really who isn't? In fact I propose we absorb Mondays into the weekend and always have 3 days off. Who's with me?

But today, so far, it's actually not that bad.

Even though I got up half an hour earlier than necessary (thinking it was Friday already and…
