This is my super secret blog. 

I have two blogs, overkill I know but once I started my first blog I realized that blogging isn't quite the cathartic free for all that I intended.  I learned this the hard way when, in a fit of temper I posted a blog that… Read full post »

There's this really incredible thing about Florida, and it's called flip-flops in January. It's a truly beautiful thing. So far this winter though there's been nary a flip-flop to be seen as we are in the midst of an atypically frigid and atypically enduring cold snap. Thankfully, in lieu of fli… Read full post »

Something that I find myself continually being reminded of in life, is that not everyone is nice.  I'm a little naive in that I want to see the good in everyone, I look so hard for it actually that I often miss bright flashing lights warning me away.  I find myself… Read full post »

A little over a year ago I traveled 775 miles from Florida to Washington, D.C.  and stood between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial to watch Barack Obama be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.  I stood with over 2 million Americans in sub-freezing… Read full post »

I wish, that sometimes, just sometimes I weren't the biggest girl in the room.  More than that though, I wish that I didn't always notice that I'm the biggest girl in the room.

After many a sleepless night and many a bottle of red wine, I have concluded that life, insomuch as it pertains to impact, purpose and worth, it is all about the small stuff.

A friend of mine recently blogged about the rarity of true genius. Not aptitude, skill or talent, but the… Read full post »

Many of you know (thought some of you may not) that I have, for a number of years struggled with disordered eating and the insecurities and neuroses that come part and parcel with it.  I write this today not because I have an inherent need to cross into TMI territory, or… Read full post »

Overall I would say that I am a fan of the quirky, happy-go lucky peeps who roll with two different sized tires and keep my day to day life from becoming mundane. In truth, I wish that I was more idiosyncratic. Or more accurately, I that my idiosyncrasies were… Read full post »

[10 AM:] Maybe if I wear my gym clothes all day I’ll be more inclined to go running….

[6 hours later:]  I’m wearing gym clothes; I should go to the gym… but leave the house?  Urgh.  Hrmm…oooh! FIRM tape!  …Damn, need weights for this thing&… Read full post »

So…I’m generally not a fan of nurture vs. nature debates, much like questioning whether the chicken or the egg came first, I find it pointless. Never the less, I’m going to have to raise one: is the mysteriously advance ability and aptitude of boys/men/males to find some of the… Read full post »
