I started Docstoc in my 20s, made the cover of one of those cliché 20 Under 20 lists, and today I employ an amazing group of 20-somethings. Call me a curmudgeon, but at 34, how I came up seems so different from what this millennial generation expects. I made […]
Really great professional advice in here!
There are many things to love and to hate about my “hometown” Washington, DC. One thing to love, apparently, is cheap international flights! Here I am, searching flights to London from Atlanta, and from Rome back to Atlanta, thinking it’s the best I’m going to get since ATL is a major international hub…
But then on a whim, I plug in IAD… and HOLY COW they are almost half the price! Completely unfair! Maybe, if Chuck gets orders back to the DC area after Fort Benning, we can just do the EuroTrip after we move, and before he starts work 🙂 Flying out of DC sounds much, much gentler on the wallet… Who knew?!
Of course, Lord only knows when we’ll find out where we’ll be that time of year anyway. The planner in me is getting annoyed!
I spent way too much time last night researching “twerking.” I really had no idea what the heck that was. Ummm… now I do!!
And that “WOP” song is completely stuck in my head now. I have a feeling it’s going to turn into another shameful download. :-X
Cute_fluffy_cats is following me on Instagram! Except those particular cats are really not that fluffy…
Bleak, gray day to match a bleak, gray mood! It’s supposed to rain most of the weekend, in fact. That is probably a good thing, since my sunburn is finally starting to peel. It’s been a long week with some late nights, so I have some making up to do with Annie. She’s been so neglected and is letting me know, loud and clear!!
I watched the filming of a scene from “Under the Dome” from my boss’s historic Wilmington home, which neighbors the “Walk to Remember” house in the left hand pic! I even got to hear them yell “action!” and “cut!” 🙂
Otherwise, seems like a dull job, to be honest. I wish I knew who the actors were! All I found out was the redhead in the lower right hand pic is the bad vampire from the first Twilight movie.
Such a cute Britney video! She’s looking so much healthier and happier 🙂 Love the dancing Smurfs and her cute little boys. No matter what anyone says, Brit Brit will always be one of my faves.
I am annoyed that “Bubble Butt” is stuck in my head. I’m annoyed that it features Bruno Mars, the crooner who sang the sweetly romantic “Just the Way You Are.” But I am most especially annoyed to admit that I caved… And downloaded it. #FAIL
Maybe it’s boredom, but I am seriously on a roll planning my EuroTrip for next spring. The only problem is the more I read and research, the more I want to see and do…! #notime #nomoney #oyvey
I get a 4-day weekend for the 4th! One of those days is unpaid leave of course, since the Chamber is broke and our contingency plan requires us to take 2 unpaid days off per month, but that’s okay. The weather forecast is beach-perfect 🙂
Otherwise, I’m not sure what I’ll do for 4 days. I’m used to really full and busy Independence Day weekends. Things are pretty quiet here – but I’m not particularly in the mood to be social anyway. I just wish I had functioning internet at home!
Lately I’ve been watching Sex and the City DVDs. I’m on Season 2. I must say, I used to hate that show and everything it was about. I think it was because I couldn’t relate to it. I wasn’t in relationships, wasn’t dating, wasn’t having sex. But now I’m finding it pretty hilarious. And interesting. Parts of it still make me cringe to see how it’s influenced a generation of young women, so I can’t get 100% on board, but it’s good entertainment and has some relateable insight here and there.
