It sucks to grow up

Everybody knows. Today I had to take responsibility and last minute line something serious up for work and now I'm super nervous that it might fall through and I'll let down my boss and the company. There's probably no reason to be worried, but at work, I feel like a kid. I'm one of the young twenty-somethings, with my desk stationed in the back office amongst "the kids" (as I like to call us), who...

F

We failed, Margaux and I.That little failure of a project is the epitome of the life of a 26 year old with no plans in sight. Every great idea I come up with lasts exactly long enough to convince myself I'll do it. And then I don't.Not only did we both procrastinate and post our "assignments" late, we never did another one. It's both our faults. We recently agreed that the idea of having a blog...

BBQ waft

I smell like barbeque.After dining at Podnah's tonight (which was great, but they were out of WAY too many things considering it was only 7 when we got there... baked beans, collard greens, chips, pecan pie...) I smell like 2007. I'm remembering the days of working at Baldy's, coming away with smoky hair, saucy shirts and a nightly decision to make: do I rush home to take a shower or just go to the...

Black Cadillacs

It's true that we named our children after towns that we'd never been to.I can't wait to name my children someday. Until then, I'm going to keep on traveling. I leave tomorrow for Israel. I will also spend a weekend in Istanbul with a dear friend where I will see culture and religion and beauty and history. I will listen to new music I put on my iPod. I will write things in my journal every day....
