Taking it to the Lou
The Kentucky girls left our dear love Lexington last night just so we could be ready bright and early in Louisville to watch the game at one of the few UK bars in the Lou. Of course ran into Lexington kids and also of course made friends with the owners of this bar, who quickly found us our own table outside smack dab in front of the tv, and even went to their car to get a jacket for me when it...

Sometimes I forget...
How lucky i am to have the great group of friends I do. The past few days have been nothing short of outrageously fun and I still get another five more with them.
Here’s to wrapping everyone into old people bar kareoke for our last night in Lexington!

Dear Santa
Please bring me a Christmas miracle and hold off the winter storm along my route to Kentucky. I did a lot of planning and scheming to take time off from work and swindle some remote working just so I can be in Lexington on Sunday evening.

Christmas
Earlier today someone made a joke about Christmas just being about crazy families and food these days. I got home a little bit ago from the 11:00 service at my dad’s church and thought about that the whole way home.
Now I’m not a church regular these days, but I will say that Christmas is not just about family and food to me. Every year I look forward to the candlelight service on...

Packing
You would think I am moving my whole life back to Kentucky with all the stuff I have packed to take with me to my dad’s tonight so I can leave early on Sunday.
Packing list:
- two computers; one work, one personal
- two phone chargers; one work, one personal
- two pairs of boots; one black, one tan
- two enormous travel bags; one for clothes, one for shoes
- one enormous laundry bag...

“Wall Street’s about velocity of money.”
– Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO
Not sure why I love this quote but I do. He’s making a fortune off of being rational enough to step back from the speed of profit and realizing the potential risk. Read the article in Bloomberg Businessweek.

How is it almost Christmas??
This year has flown by. Thank goodness, but still… where did 2010 go?
I may have already wrote about this moment at some point but here goes again: When I was a freshman in college i went to lunch with one of my favorite seniors from the sorority at the end of spring semester and I was complaining to her about how fast the year had gone. There she was getting ready to leave college and I...

Almost forgot...
In my champagne induced haze on Sunday I almost forgot that lebluegrass and i saw skaters on the frozen C&O Canal. I just about blew her eardrums with my gushing over them and shrieking demands to promise we could do that soon.
I miss skating so very much. I was once good at two things: skating and skiing. Which is quite ironic considering i pretty much hate the cold, but sure enough i...

#348 That moment near the holidays when there’s... →
This moment is on overdrive here in our office. I have to immediately delete any emails with subject lines referring to chocolate, cookies, candy, cheesecake, cocoa and anything else starting with c just to be safe because i do not want to know where they are in the office.

Recap
This weekend was so outrageously fun and I definitely did not want it to end. It was surely a treat to have old friends in town for a fantastic bender before I slink into the dreary mood that will accompany the first Christmas as a broken family.
But before I have to deal with that, I had the privilege of enjoying a theme party with lots of friends, gush over holiday decorations in our pretty...

– Hot guy that we were checking out during our Kentucky girls brunch. I’m gonna go ahead and say he’s gay but we loved the compliment anyway! All of us turned red and just sorta giggled into our champagne glasses. You made our day fine sir with great bone structure.

Holidays in the City
Yall, today was the best day everrrr. Communist Christmas was an epic success, but also meant their were some epic battles being raged this morning against our bodies. We rallied everyone for a tasty hangover brunch at Clyde’s, where the entire restaurant was staring at us and then I was even able to rally the leftovers to go downtown so we could show Casey the monuments and my favorite,...

Fantastic Find
I just found the absolute greatest thank you gift for Soulmate! Thinking ahead for Mardi Gras time! They’re notecards and if you read her blog enough, I bet you can make a guess at what they have on the front…. any guesses?!?

Re-evaluating
Blasts from the past have been coming out of the woodwork lately. Some older than others, but all have been fairly removed from my life for at least the last year or so. I never quite know what to do with these types.
Some of them are the Tori Paradox kind that you lost touch with but come back in and you honestly forget that they were ever gone.
Some are the kind that you lost touch with for...
Hey Jealousy
Casey: i never make it out past 12
Casey: too many gin and tonics
Kate: well you need to learn to moderate yourself
Casey: kate=pot, casey=kettle
Kate: don't be jealous that I can stay out late drinking and still manage to function the next day
