Dinners For Dad - Volume 3

As you know I love to cook, but have been hesitant when it comes to cooking meals with meat. The main reason I believe is that (a) I fear I will under cook it & poison people and (b) if I’m only cooking for myself, I don’t want the hassle.  Back when I lived in [...]

I Got A Job!

Sure in retrospect I haven’t been looking all that long & hard (I’ve only been home since June 1st) , but hip hurray I got a job! Starting on Monday, I’ll be working for Inked Magazine, a beautiful tattoo lifestyle magazine!

It’s going to be interesting getting back to working everyday, having a schedule, and not [...]

Pennsic Re-Cap

Like I mentioned previously, I spent all last week in Pennsylvania at an event called Pennsic with my sister & her boyfriend Kris. And like I thought, it was absolutely insanely hilariously quirky & intense. Probably what I liked about it the most were the parties (obviously), people watching, and all the great people that [...]

My Tattoos For All The World To See!

One day while I was off to an interview, some guy pulled me over from Tattoosday blog asking if he could take some pictures of my tattoos and feature them. Sure, why not. A month or so went by & I pretty much forgot about it. But look! Today’s entry on http://www.tattoosday.blogspot.com is me!

Imagine Being Married To Nicholas Sparks....

You can hardly turn on the television or look at movie previews without Nicolas Sparks’ latest & greatest  being mentioned. And you know what… I am getting sick & tried of him.  How does the man do it?  Nick is probably the biggest hopeless romantic that has ever lived. Between “The Notebook”, “Dear John”, &  [...]

Off For A Week

As you probably noticed from a blog ago,  I’m SO stuck in a rut.  Not only is my job search not going the way I hoped, but things are on the rocks with Kyle.  I won’t get too much into it, but basically since we’ve been back in the states, our relationship has been off.  And slowly [...]

Dinners For Dad - Volume 2

When the summer basil gets as beautiful as this..

…there is nothing else to do but make pesto!

Cute side-note: as I was picking the basil, which is right next to the basement window, look who was peeking through attempting to join in on the pesto making fun!

Anyway, I grabbed a handful of basil [...]

Finding THE Job

Sigh.. I don’t think I’ll ever find a job.  I don’t know what I was thinking quitting my job & assuming that someone would welcome me back with open arms when I was ready to come back to the professional world.

So far I’ve been to

3 recruiters – all of which made open exciting promises [...]

“The Help”

Due to the fact that I have no job and spend my days pretty much alone, it’s been perfect conditions to float around the pool all afternoon and read good books.  I’m at a place where I should NOT be buying anything, let alone books, but the good news is my parent’s house is stocked [...]

The Splenda Stealer Diet

My friend Emily (the Splenda Stealer) has a new column on her blog where she has people record what they eat all week long and then tell the story that goes along with it. Last week was my turn! She was interested in my week because it’s a more random one at the moment due [...]
