Yikes! This post comes a solid six months after my previous post. I have fallen into the category of “bloggers who don’t blog.” Thank goodness I’m not trying to make a living off this site!
Since my yard sale, just a few other exciting and notable things have happened–
Completed two triathlons
Completed my second marathon sub-4 hours
Signed [...]
I have a love/hate relationship with stuff. On one hand, I’m rather sentimental and also optimistic that one day I will have a use for the various things I’ve collected over the years. On the other hand, clutter drives me crazy, I feel bad for things that never get used or clothes that never get [...]
I noticed recently on Facebook that you can become a fan of Thunderstorms. Of course, on Facebook you can become a fan of essentially anything but for some reason I thought it hilarious that Thunderstorms now have their own fan page. They’re not a brand, or a product, or a company, they have nothing to [...]
One of the first bonfires I recall was when I was probably 5 or 6 years old and it was the Fourth of July and my family was at a summer cottage on Lake Erie. Family friends were also there and the cottage had a great little beach where we had a bonfire to roast [...]
Bananas are an interesting topic as they are definitely not all created equal and if you ask anyone who eats bananas, they will likely each have a personal preference for the type of banana they like best. I recently felt as though I was in Jack Johnson’s song “Banana Pancakes” as I ate banana and [...]
How much would someone have to pay you in order for you to shave your head? How about $1200 or maybe even $2000? What if you were then to give all that money to charity, to help fund research for children’s cancer? If you saw all the people that shaved their heads recently at Fado’s [...]
The first concert I ever went to (not counting the Raffi concert my parents took me too when I was little) was to see the Allman Brothers at Merriweather Stadium in ninth grade. It was summer; my friends and I had older friends with cars. We piled in with coolers, food, and mixed tapes. We [...]
Let me start this post by apologizing if I share too much information for your tastes and also let you know that I am perfectly fine. I did, however, have a recent experience that I feel compelled to share if for no other reason than to promote awareness. I realize I seem to be on [...]
No, I don’t mean St. Patrick’s Day, though that is also a great thing to celebrate. I do indeed mean to say celebrate St. Baldrick’s. A friend of mine recently told me he was shaving his head which threw me a little off guard. He followed up by saying he was doing it for the [...]
For as long as I can remember my family has had a tradition of making Christmas wish lists at Thanksgiving. Once each person’s list is made, we pass them around to the rest of the group and we “dot” items on each list that we plan to get as gifts. Once you’ve passed on your [...]
