Public Bar in Dupont quickly became one of my favorite spots a few weeks ago. Rooftop bar, great music, and decent drink prices solidified it as a go-to haunt for my girlfriends and me. So it was no surprise when after dinner at Raku on Saturday, we settled on heading there – just Boots and [...]

I will be writing a longer post later…but I couldn’t resist telling what just happened in my office corridor a few minutes ago. For my co-workers who read this, don’t report me…just smile and nod. Thanks.
After spending a few seconds arguing the proper way to say “bow chica bow wow” (one co-worker thought the actual [...]
The WHOOPS I Love You

My job consists of constant interaction with Excel and Outlook and limited interaction with people. Occasionally my phone rings and I answer it and speak for a few moments. I repeat this once or twice a day. Most often it’s Boss or Colleague. They call for two reasons: one, to cover daily tasks or two, [...]

slash a follow-up to why zumba should remain an important part of my life until winter is over.
It’s March 1st and we are expecting 6-8 inches of snow in the metropolitan area.
Awesome.
So naturally I used the cold weather and threat of imminent snow as a reason not to go to the gym this afternoon. Yes, I realize this action [...]
It’s Ash Wednesday and Thus I Feel Compelled to Confess…

This is probably the closest I’ll get to the 25 things fad I’ve previously discussed. As mentioned, I’m not likely to ever do it, but do enjoy learning the occasional tid-bit about a friend/acquaintance. The aforementioned “This” is my Ash Wednesday confession. No I’m not Catholic, but…recognizing this day on the religious calendar gives me [...]
Dim the Lights and Don’t Give Away the Ending

My family speaks in movie one-liners and when you get us all together in a room…we pretty much lose all capability for intelligent conversation in favor of out-quoting one another. This pastime is never more apparent or appropriate than Christmas dinner. A few favorites are below:
1. “Buck Melanoma, Molly Russell’s Wart.”
2. “Deck the Halls with [...]
Things You May Not Want To Admit You Actually Said…

I recently “went” blond and the day after, my mom asked me “so are you having more fun?”
I didn’t get it until she elaborated, “you know…cause blonds always have more fun.”
If we stay along this line of thinking, blonds also say stupid things that make everyone look around at each other in an unsurprised, roll [...]
Shout Out Loud

You may think in this post I’m going to reveal the nickname that I have kept buried for 20some years. You’re wrong; that name follows me to the grave…except for those of you who already know it, in which case I’m shit-outta-luck or currently plotting my revenge should you reveal it.
Instead I plan to follow [...]
The Way We Tell A Story with Friends
Posted in PALS, aWkWARD on September 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
On Saturday night, I got together with some friends who I hadn’t seen in awhile. They were girlfriends I knew in college who I could always count on to stop and listen when I had something to say. The four of them live together in DC, and I ventured in from the Burbs to spend [...]
Craigslist Fantasy

Everyone has fantasies. Some of my best spring out of the time I spend in the shower in the morning. While some people sing or hum, I create little plays in my head (and sometimes out loud) based on my real life (or how I would like it to be). I date I in between shampooing [...]
