I’m a marathoner.

Well, I am. Okay, so what if my one and only marathon event was back in 2002? I finished a marathon, dammit, and I am still proud of it. I had never run a marathon before. I had never gone farther than 6.2 miles in the Peachtree Road Race. But when I attended a Team...

um, yeah.

RH sent me this today, asking if it sounded familiar. We’re such nerds.

so, what’s wrong with publicly-funded healthcare?

I read the other day that Clark Howard is throwing his hat in the ring for President in 2012. Apparently he thinks publicly-funded healthcare is a bad idea. I’m not sure I understand why so many people are vehemently against it. I will admit I haven’t done a thorough investigation into all of the arguments,...

a little slow…

I’m still uploading pics from my Korea trip. I look forward to writing a recap of my two weeks in Seoul, although the details may be a little fuzzy by the time I’m finally able to get to it. Meanwhile, here’s one of my favorite photos from the trip…a buddha statue at Bongeunsa temple in...

I heart weekends

I really love weekends. They don’t last long enough or come fast enough, though. Work has been insanely busy lately, so I really look forward to the little two-day break every week. Recently, though, RH and I have spent most of our weekends working on his house. We’re trying to consolidate households, so we’re going...

yes we can

RH and I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. Tuesday night watching the election results and the following speeches. I watched everything kind of in awe, and then it hit me. Barack Obama won the presidency. It wasn’t even close. I wish my dad were here to see it. I was reminded of a time my...

history in the making

I hope you voted today! (Or last week, or the week before.) I actually voted two weeks ago, and I’m glad I was able to make it happen with plenty of time to spare. It’s kinda weird, but I have the same feeling I had when I watched the Challenger burst into pieces and when...

so close I can feel it

I’m crunching numbers—numbers for tents and chairs and tables and linens. We are this close to deciding on a wedding venue. The front-runner isn’t perfect, but none of them are. I think if we quadrupled our budget, we could probably get a little closer to “perfect,” but that ain’t happenin’. I’m at the point where...
