7:40am flight...GAAA!!!Slept most of the way - apparently too tired to function, even after a Dazbog green tea smoothie. Insane turbulence into Atlanta which I hated, but the XM satellite radio (for free!) and Todd made it a bit easier...but not much.Made it to Boston. Uneventful flight for the most part. We flew over Manhattan, … Continue reading Boston 2008 – Day 1 – August 4 – Tubulence is a bitch.

So I've decided to start journaling about every trip that I take...mostly so that I can remember everything as it happens.My first time with this was Boston...so the next few blogs will chronicle our trip through Bean Town...which was wicked awesome, by the way.

Sometimes Todd and I buy each other surprises and refer to them as "prizes".Typically, they're small things...less than $10 or so.I got Todd a prize yesterday. A t-shirt with a SuperMarioBros mushroom on it that says "1up" underneath it. I have honestly been eyeing that shirt for 6 months (or longer) waiting to see it … Continue reading This ain’t your mama’s Cracker Jack prize….

Wow. In keeping with the theme, this presidential election is coming out with some of the most bullshit ads. This one tops them all.It's just a ridiculous ad.I don't care if you do or do not support Obama. I don't care who you're voting for.This isn't about that.I fricking hate bullshit ads.I hate political ads, … Continue reading PINK! SPARKLY! FUN!

So last night, we (finally) watched SUPER SIZE ME. I've been hesitant to watch it since it came out. Mostly because I thought it had a different premise that it actually does. I had to sit through the first 15mins or so during my creative writing class this summer and found myself intrigued by it. … Continue reading SuperSize some responsibility, please.

Last night, a girl in my class, Lauren, was asked, "Why did you quit acting?"She said, "Because I hated who I was becoming and what I was about."She said she was incredibly vain, perpetually concerned about her weight and size, always looking in a mirror, and beyond that, she was becoming incredibly cynical and bitter...about … Continue reading Cynical and bitter will not describe me….ever.

I have long been bitching about social injustice. I hate it. It's probably the one thing that will really get me going if need be. I can rant and rave about all kinds of crap if I need or want to. The first time I got a real taste of how much I actually hated … Continue reading Fighting an uphill battle…..

There are plenty of things that I want to write about at this point, but nothing is coming. Lame.I made dinner last night for my family. Apparently it turned out well...I honestly think it's the first real forray into cooking that I've made since I've been married. Todd usually does all the cooking and whatever … Continue reading Pwning the n00bs….(I don’t even know what that means)….

Man, having puppies is HARD! Well okay...taking them to the vet is hard. The rest is juuuuuuuuuust fine!We took Leo and Suki to their new vet for the very first time last night. Aye. Turns out, there was more stuff out-of-date or wrong that I could have possibly anticipated. But the good news is that … Continue reading Mommy & Papa take the pups on the WORST CAR RIDE EVER!

I just read an article that explains the names of Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban's daughter and Matthew McConaughey's son.Remember how we all read that insane story about how Matthew wanted to do what his brother did and name his kid after his favorite beer? Fine, when his bro's favorite beer is Miller Lite (the kid's name … Continue reading There IS a God!
