Two things on this Monday afternoon...
1) Mondays after a long weekend suck.
2) Patriots best destroy the Saints tonight.
That is all.
This year, I am thankful for my friends.
I am very thankful to have a loving and healthy family, but this year I have needed my friends…old ones, new ones, brand new ones… So thanks friends, for everything.
End sentimental moment.
I'm exhausted from living with no money.
I hate talking about it and I certainly don’t want to bore the two of you who read…but I am tired of it.
Paula Deen?
During my first sweet disaster of an attempt to be an adult and try and make a side dish for a dinner party I am going to tomorrow night, I decided I was going to do roast potatoes. This is a common dish my family does for Thanksgiving and since I am not going home for this holiday, I wanted to have a little familiarity. So I emailed my Mom and asked her what she did for the potatoes, which I...

PS: I don’t care a GD thing about this New Moon biz. I think it’s lame and totally missed the boat on this.
I never go out during the week...
But EJ and I have some friends in town and we went to see this amazing local band that plays like 70s soft rock (AMAZING) and we sang at the top of our lungs… out til about 3AM and now… I am drunk. At work. Still.
Hot mess.
It's been a while...
I have been traveling and playing catch up at work… But here’s a little something to whet your appetite…
It is UNCOOL to say Hotlanta. Hotlanta is circa 1995. We’re in 2009, almost 2010… if you visit don’t say “I’m going to HOTlanta” or “How’s the weather in Hotlanta?”
If anything…say “The A” or “A...
DC Moment #1 - "Look kids...Union Station..."
Driving in Boston took a little time with all one ways and roads that could fit a smart car…
Driving in Atlanta - cluttered, hot mess.
Driving in DC - National Lampoon’s reenactment… Union Station is the biggest cluster especially when your trusty not so handy GPS decides “To Calculate” when more tour buses and taxis and PEDESTRIANS WHO DON’T WALK FAST cause...
I think I am the only one who walks to work in...
Atlanta missed the whole “going green” or “green footprint”

This is an email from EJ’s Dad. Copy / Paste and everything. This is his response when I told him I was going to DC this weekend:
Are you going to the tea bagger conference? if so, your demo friends will call un-American. whatever happen to the flower children of the 60s who could protest and promote change? It seems they got older and forgot their history. Bring back flower power and...
I love when Van Morrison is singing to me in the...
Makes by days go by much faster.
Drinking problem?

Me: Hey Ms. Boston
Ms. Boston: Well hey there
Co Worker: You want sparkling cider?
>
Me: Do they have sparkling cider or champagne?
Ms. Boston: Oh they have both - this one is champagne (*note: this is why we are good friends)
Me: Oh, is this cider?
>
Ms. Boston: Yeah, I think it might be.
Me: Oh... eff that.

SVP Creative, my SVP and Ms. Boston: and say: Cheers.
"I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place...
I may not be going to somewhere warm or to Aspen (or where women flock…thank God)… but this weekend’s trip to the mountains with E.J. is going to be heavenly. Bliss. Nirvana. Whatever.Yougetthepoint.
Have a great weekend y’all!

Two of my faves - so great.
Do you ever have one of those days....
Where you wish you could lock yourself in a room from all outside sources and listen to Lady Gaga Pandora station as loud as possible - and not have to talk to a single soul?
Or where you have an absolute breakdown at work (in front of your manager) and you forgot your badge to get into the building so to leave you have to draw attention to yourself or just leave and bank on someone you...

Glass of wine and Bela Fleck. Not a bad Wednesday...
True Confession

Me: Hey Babe, can you tape 20/20 for me?
EJ: Sure, ABC?
Me: Yes, Friday night.
EJ: Why? What's it about?
Me: Rihanna.
EJ:
Me: Haha, whatever. Shut it.

Driving home.
After a weekend in Knoxville with two of my fave people, I drove 3 hours on 75 South…
As I reached the Atlanta metro area and got my first sight of the skyline, something hit me in the pit of my stomach - a warm feeling. I was relieved to see the midtown skyline. Like seeing it was a comfort - a feeling I haven’t felt since I moved here. It’s a similar feeling I got when I...
