hit and miss

I’m addicted to Craigslist.  I don’t know what else to do with 12 hours in front of a computer at work so I constantly refresh the gig section to see all the off-the-wall crazy scams that I can think about getting involved in before I talk myself out of them.  Friday I noticed a post [...]

The first night in San Francisco I am going to walk a few blocks from my hotel room and go to this:

Yesssss!!!!

Birthday Thursday

Today is Birthday Thursday.  On the first Thursday of every month, everyone at work celebrates the birthdays and accomplishments of that month, and then they binge on chocolate, oatmeal creme pies, and cream cheese danishes.  Since I don’t technically ever get a real “break”, they always wheel up the leftover goodies around 3:30 for us poor organ [...]

The other day I dreamt I was at a restaurant and ran into a very close friend that I’ve since lost touch with.  I tried to get his attention and he ignored me.  I called his name and he looked at me, acknowledged my presence, and walked straight by.  I started breathing heavily and basically it seemed I [...]

the future

Am I the only one confused with the 401K?
I probably shouldn’t really be complaining since I am fortunate enough to work for a company that offers a 401K, but I am a tad bit lost.  I spent the first hour today at work trying to figure out where to allocate my money that I won’t [...]

an update.

Hello Richmond.  I probably made a big mistake by not updating my blog since I’ve been back home, because I think I actually had a few people who cared (or were bored) and actually read what I write.  I think I thought that I was only interesting if I was overseas and doing lots of [...]

I have returned to good ‘ol VA.  Interestingly enough it has been two weeks since I’ve arrived but yet has felt like two months.  I am still trying to adjust to being back since I had just begun to finally adjust to life in Australia and now things are strange again!  After traveling for a [...]

eeeee

I am now coming home on the 14th. 
Matt is sick with some sort of allergic reaction that has taken us to the ER twice in the last two days.  He is sleeping and I’m a bit upset knowing that he’s fallen ill the last couple days I have here.  That sounds selfish but sorry!
I just [...]

time flies

Sooooooo that’s it!  The 3 week vacation is over and I’ve officially driven up the eastern coast of Australia and stopped at all the little towns and sights in between.  I now feel like I have a pretty good taste of this country, and although I didn’t make it into the technical “outback” outback, I [...]

Hello!  We’ve escaped the rain for the moment and are in sunny Noosa in Queensland.  This place is adorable.  I decided to be brave and take a surfing lesson today and guess what – surfing is really difficult!  I think the hardest part was actually getting my board out to the freakin wave!  After that [...]
