Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Where do you go from a beautiful day spent piloting a plane over the gorgeous waters of South Florida? Nowhere but down, that’s where. This week has been one of shock and awe…and at times just plain shockingly awful.

Three if by air?

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

If it’s one if by land and two if by sea, light up three lanterns, baby, because I’m airborne!

I haven’t managed to do a whole heck of a lot since moving down here to Ft. Lauderdale, but somehow last weekend I managed to pull the coolest weekend ever out of the bag! I was a bit late leaving work Friday afternoon because I had a few things I was trying to get done when a guy who’d been in my training class IM’ed me to say hey, and five minutes later I had an invite to go flying in a four-seater Cessna the next morning. Score! I’ve always wanted to do that! Apparently a guy he worked with was a flight instructor as a hobby on weekends and asked if anybody wanted to go for a flight. Umm….yeah. Yeah I would.

Happy post

Friday, August 11th, 2006
So tonight I finally felt like writing something. I was all set and ready to go when I noticed my laptop wasn't connecting to my wireless connection, and I've become too much of a wireless snob to use a network cable ... [Continue reading this entry]

Friday, August 11th, 2006
Part of the reason I've been putting off updating my blog is that I haven't really wanted to go into a sad subject. I couldn't very well not go into it though, so I decided that I'll just post about ... [Continue reading this entry]

Lazy days of summer

Monday, August 7th, 2006
Actually, things have been extremely busy and not too lazy at all, but I haven't been able to muster up the brain power to try and tackle everything that's happened in the past few weeks. And today is no different. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Lukewarm and loving it

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006
It doesn’t seem fair that the worst times drag on forever and good times go by all too quickly. This week in particular was neither really great nor really bad, though, so it went by about as quickly as you could expect. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Not so happy hour

Sunday, July 16th, 2006
Despite being a short week at work, and considering it started out with a trip to the Bahamas, this seemed like a painfully long week, so I was more than happy when a girl from work ... [Continue reading this entry]

Fruits of my Google labors

Thursday, July 13th, 2006
This week I found myself with a substantial amount of time on my hands, so I turned to Google, as I so often do, to satisfy my simple entertainment needs. It is amazing the vast amount of useless junk you ... [Continue reading this entry]

Free trip to Freeport

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006
I’m back from what is without a doubt the shortest trip abroad I’ve ever taken. I’m not even sure if “abroad” is the best word to use, considering I’ve traveled farther for an afternoon of shopping, but The Bahamas is ... [Continue reading this entry]

Meeeeow! No, seriously.

Saturday, July 8th, 2006
At the tender age of 23, I've decided to become a cat lady. Aww, bless. Not the crazy long-haired variety that smells of mothballs and Tender Vittles, mind you, but the young, cool kind that wears stilettos and watches Cash ... [Continue reading this entry]
