Rambling About: Looking for Alaska
Looking for Alaska by John Green My rating: 4 of 5 stars If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can’t know better until knowing better is useless. ― John Green, Looking for Alaska Here’s another book that had been on my “too read” list […]
Sunflowers make me happy…
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do. -Helen Keller […]
So I found this amazing song…
This song was featured at the end of last week’s episode of Reign. First of all – if you haven’t seen that show, you must check it out. It’s historical intrigue and debauchery at it’s finest. Think The Tudors for teens with a love triangle that’s crazy good. Not to mention some awesome music. […]

Here’s a wonderful example of the Fergie Blitz: So this is what she’s doing while I’m on my conference call, […]

After six weeks of mostly solid training post-strained-hamstring recovery and I successfully completed my first half marathon. My main goal was to finish in under 2:00 and I DID IT!!! My stretch goal was to run under 1:45. With my training runs around 8 minute pace, it shouldn’t have been a stretch, but given my […]
11-12-13
I just think it’s cool how the calendar has lined up these numbers today. Maybe it’s because I have this thing about numbers and order and symmetry. Or perhaps it’s a little of my OCD tendencies. No matter – all day long I’ll be smiling whenever I write or type today’s date. Yes – […]
