if i die young…send me away with the words of a love song.

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be. I promise this isn't a morbid post, even if the title implies such.  The title and the lyrics above are from a song that I've been listening to: If I Die Young by My Band Perry.  Since hearing it on Nicky's (my brother) Roadtrip Playlist a few weeks …

sometimes i wish i was a little girl again because bruised knees heal faster than broken hearts

A child fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty. This is the little angel that I got to spend this past weekend with.  What a cutie!  Based on this photo, I now call her the Guac-Monster since she was saying 'chip' and 'dip' continuously after falling in love with Adriana's guacamole like …

fml: i missed you too, chicago

It's a Monday after all, so of course it couldn't end with some sort of crappiness happening.  I'm back in Chicago now, in my apartment watching Dancing with the Stars- or at least it's on in the background.  I'm exhausted from the fabulous weekend I had in Cinci, but I'm also a little flustered after …

the workout drought has officially ended

...and on the fourth day, she worked out.  Finally.  I found the motivation inside of me to workout this morning.  I tentatively planned to go to the 6:15 am spinning class at the gym, but I'm not as fond of that teacher's style (compared to Adele, the evening spin instructor) so I passed.  Fortunately I have my …

up in the air

I had every intention of writing today but it's now 10 pm - yes, I'm back in the good old Eastern Time Zone- and all I want to do is pass out for as long as possible.  To make my early morning flight, I had to wake up at 4 am.  I remember the nights …
