Secrets, secrets, tell someone!

That’s how the expression ends, right? Don’t keep good secrets to yourself? Well I know I should keep this a secret so I can get all the best books myself, but it was really the cute graphic that pushed me over the edge. I’m not kidding, as soon as I saw this jpg I was [...]

Liquidation sales don’t count when you’re on a book buying ban

So I didn’t tell you happened after I locked myself out in January…sigh…ok y’all read my last post (from over a month ago *sadface*) right? Ok so what I didn’t tell you is that I locked myself out again the VERY NEXT NIGHT. I went through a period of great self-hatred after that and simply could not [...]

Best activity in below freezing weather: locking yourself out

What, with the beginning of that title you thought I was going to say something lusty? Unfortunately something lusty was not possible as hubby is out of town. Hence the locking myself out. In 23 degree weather. Do. Not. Recommend. See, my friend is having a birthday party tomorrow. And I am a GOOD FRIEND [...]

Library Loot: from my brand new public library!

Temperatures soared in DC this past weekend, staying in the 80s throughout the first week of October, continuing to break records, and making it hard to spend the day reading since it was so gorgeous outside. So what’s a lusty reader to do? Why, read outside of course! Not only that but it was one [...]

The time I lost my iPhone and heart on the same day

Regardless of what, who, or how you believe the universe operates sometimes the DARNDEST things happen and it’s hard not to think of them as coincidence, fate or luck. I’ve had horrible days before - for some reason it’s never just one thing with me and for some reason WEIRD things happen to me where I seriously wonder [...]

The time I pretended I was underage at the DC library to escape my roommate

This is the tale of how abhorrent the DC public libraries are, and how my party-animal roommate drove me to find that out, the hard way. Second semester senior year of college I was having the best time of my life and it felt like the world was my oyster. I had accepted an exciting [...]

Phoning it in Vol II

Still super busy at work, and STILL READING THE SAME BOOK FOR THE PAST 7 DAYS! Yes, all caps was necessary there, it hasn’t taken me 7 days to read one book in donkey’s years (especially one under 350 pgs!). But here are some things going on that were too long for me to talk about [...]

February 2010 Reading List and a personal rant

I’m not the best guess-timater. Like sometimes when I’m putting statistics together at work it’s not until I get to the very end and I see the result, that I go, “Really?! I didn’t think it would be that high!” Or I pick a mixing bowl out and it’s only when I’ve already added 95% of [...]

In My Suitcase (escape from the blizzards of 2010)

Y’all. It’s like a war-zone in DC with these blizzards. I feel like our flight made it out in between bombings or something. Like there was a lull in the battle for 12 hours and our plane was just able to sneak out. Yes we left 3 days later that we were supposed to, but [...]

Life’s A Beach

Ooooh a title that’s a double entendrrruh (i say the french pronunciation since i’m snooty like that). The 2nd part of the double entendre comes into play at the end of the post, so stick with me! So life’s a bitch here in DC with over 14″ of snow downtown and another 5 hours of [...]
