muahahahaha Just now, one of my coworkers (hi catpants!) found me in the supply room/kitchen and asked if we could get away with me signing off on an order of business cards. Why me? ‘Cause my boss is on vacation and I was the only director in the building. Yes! For three seconds, *I* was …
how much time to become an expert?
I was doing some reading tonight for school and stumbled across a line of thinking that got ME thinking… namely, the author of one of the articles I was reading was asserting the notion that, to become very adept and/or expert in basically *anything*, you need to have been doing it for at least ten …
hmmm.
I’m going to a bachelor party tomorrow night at Dave & Buster’s. I’m not sure how I feel about that. There WILL be another girl there, but it IS a “let’s get the groom drunk, mmmkay?” bachelor party. Hmmmm.
second-most indexed norell
Ha! Google has a new blog search device, so I decided to blog-search my last name. Apparently, only the 22-year-old Swedish model Daniel Norell is higher than me! (Not sure what to think of that…)
why do I crave nachos?
Texas has ruined me. The pervasiveness of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine means I’m almost always craving nachos and/or chips & queso. In fact, on this Weight Watchers odyssey, I’m finding it most difficult to give up queso, then ice cream, then Chinese food. In that order. It just really, really sucks when I see people …

the apocalypse is most certainly nigh
I cannot believe it. I’m looking at my computer screen, numb with shock. I’ve spent the last 30 minutes getting ready for school while silenced by the enormity of what transpired last night. The Mountain Home Bombers — my high school alma mater — managed to defeat our archrival, the Harrison Goblins, AGAIN last night. …
family ties
I wish my parents were here (in Texas). Even though that would mean their daily average temperature would shoot up at least, oh, five degrees or so. (Sorry Ma & Pa!) Daniel’s parents are great, and my friends are great, but little can compare to the soothing presence of my mom and dad. And, of …
mentally exhausted
Today was the inspection on the house I’m trying to buy. It didn’t turn up a lot of problems, but there were a couple of things that definitely need to be looked at and/or fixed soon. It was also the day the lender sent out their appraiser. And, because of those two things, I spent …
