Strange Dreams

20Jan10

So I’ve been having dreams where my pets become superheroes and save my life. That or I’m in a hospital, bleedly profusely.
Last night, I had a dream where my mom, sister and I survived a deadly tsunami that wiped away our entire town… I just remember the waves pounding down on me and swimming up [...]


Faith is the “firm belief in something for which there is no proof,” according to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary. Wikipedia defined it as “the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.” I define it as unconditional love to an unseen, unheard, or untouched being and/or belief.
Faith is nonexistent to many people I [...]


You know how I know there’s a higher power at work?
The other morning, while I was packing up for work, I grabbed the usual from my kitchen counter: toasted bagel with vegetable cream cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, an instant noodle cup for my mid-afternoon snack, and two Disney princess vitamin gummies [...]


Hello reader,
I’ve neglected you! Consistency is going down as one of my 2010 resolutions. I’ve always had problems finishing stuff, or keeping stuff up. But I am pretty awesome at starting stuff  As a child, I started and quit tennis, piano, horseback riding, ice skating, softball, and probably other hobbies I can’t remember. I [...]


Sorry folks! I owe everyone a finale entry and a Day 7 entry on Memphis! I started the new job this week and am moving into my new place in Arlington, VA. Exciting stuff, huh? Hah… to be honest I just need a day or two to rest up. Life has been nuts lately, as [...]

So I’ll share something interesting with you today. Now I am the last person to use a blog as a venting tool, but I think you’ll find this story worth reading. My apologies for the lack of visuals! I didn’t take [...]


Today I whipped out the fleece, and put on socks and sneakers! Goodbye pink polka dotted flip flops I’ve lived on since February! Yup, it’s getting colder… and I actually have a slight cough. Probably from the weather changes and the fast food diet (and the whole driving eight hours a day for a week could also play a [...]


Remember my new friend Ross?  He was a local I met in Santa Fe, New Mexico, who traveled and painted in Africa.
Ross was kind enough to share some of his artwork with me. With his permission, I am showing you several of my favorites from his collection.
I also dropped into his jewelry store after lunch. Ross and his daughter [...]


Hello! I owe everyone an entry on Memphis. That was yesterday but I was way too tired to write a good entry last night — and believe me, you want me to take my time when I write about Memphis. It’s been my most interesting stop yet.
For the one night and several hours during the day I spent [...]


Click play for music:

I almost forgot to post an entry on my drive across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles! This was back in Day 5.

 

I was forewarned about this drive. It’s a 9-hour stretch of nothing. I know I covered Oklahoma in the previous entry, so let me focus more on Texas here.
I stopped at [...]
