i had the time of my life and i’ve never felt this way before. and i swear this is true, and i owe it all to you. (part one)

A.MAY.ZING.  That is the only way to describe this past weekend's road trip back to Columbus, OH.  Exhausted, I'm sitting here debating whether to let my tired mind ramble on and on about the festivities or simply write: This weekend was, by far, (one of) the best weekend I've ever had in Columbus.  Let me reinstate …

athens to chicago in twelve hours

I woke up in love Athens, OH and very, very soon I will be going to bed in Chicago.  I finally arrived home after almost 12 hours of being on the road and it feels almost as A.MAY.ZING. to be lying in my bed right now as this weekend was.  Almost A.MAY.ZING. but nowhere near …

twitter me this, twitter me that

I swore I'd never do it.  Promised to stand strong and resist the pressures of my generation.  However, the day has come where the leader has become a follower.  I surrendered...  I am now on Twitter.  This letter "t" is my scarlet letter for trader.  The guilt is running through my veins...but let me explain my reasons, …

oh baby, baby, it’s a wild world it’s hard to get by just upon a smile

Another night, another adventure on Megabus.  By now I'm sure we're all shocked to hear that Megabus was somewhat on time last night- if you count ten minutes late 'on time'.  Then again, I guess we didn't depart then, so scratch that.  Megabus was not two hours late which unfortunately did happen to my poor friend, …

before i close my eyes

I wasn't sure where to begin, but this quote captures how I feel about my weekend in Columbus with a group of the most A.MAY.ZING. girls in the world (Kristin, Ruth, Sarah, Carrie, Jen) and their lovely families.  Fortunately for me,  these are only a few of the beautiful friends (and extended families) that I feel this …

good morning, columbus. i missed you.

I'll start with saying, Good Morning, and then say that I survived my overnight Megabus trip.  But being Megabus, there was an adventure of some sorts.  To keep it brief, I was running late and ended up taking a cab.  Nothing too special about that, but as soon as I got downtown to Union Station that all …

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 …

ohio, i’ll be home again

Sadly the day has come for me to hop on Megabus and venture back to Chicago.  I just wanted to take a minute to say that it's been a truly fantastic weekend, which I'll write more about later.  Yes, I know, it deserves an official..... A.MAY.ZING. In the shower this morning I thought of this song.  …
