Sit-ups, 8es dancing, writing novels and ad design
A hodgepodge of thoughts today: ———— I’ll share a couple of sites I came across this week (mostly through social networking!): D&AD Creative Search: I saw this one mentioned by several people on Twitter this week. Go ahead, type something in. I typed “flowers” and then I typed “Melissa Oyler” … it’s fun! One hundred…

‘If it means nothing to you / Why do you sing with me at all?’
I just finished reading a blog post that sent me into a song frenzy. EDW does a wonderful job of explaining “song crushes” and that moment when you hear a song for the first time that just speaks to you, and you instantly have to find out how to get your hands on it and…

The strength to keep going
This was not my race to run, and when I approached the team van near the end of it and saw the physical pain written all over their faces – I was both relieved and jealous I hadn’t been a part of it. This race falls into the category of “insane.” When I asked veteran…

Just another Monday night at the strip club …
My reasons for never having been to a strip club never had anything to do with upstanding morals or judgments or values. Nope. The reason I’d never been to a strip club is it seems like every time it came up as a possibility – someone in my group (always a female) would shoot down…

And he didn’t want to be seen with me …
Chris’ comment on one of my posts recently reminded me of a story: Last year I was in Athens visiting Chris, and one of the things we had promised each other we would do during my week here was to have a crazy workout schedule. We made a pact that above all else, workouts would…

Enjoy family, buy local, and sidewalks are there for a reason.

The time I ran 15 miles in one day …
Did I mention it was in the mountains? With huge, huge hills? Kevin and Chris are crazy enough to have committed to running the Blue Ridge Relay race next month. Check out their team’s blog here. Basically, here’s the scoop: They are going to run 234.2 miles in a 24-hour period. There are 6 runners…

Why am I showing you this boring beer?
Because it’s not boring at all! Chris made it. He made it. And I got to taste it this past weekend for the first time. I’ll let him tell you about the process he and his friends went through for the first beer they made and the second one. But I’ll tell you that when…

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)
I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…
