A game I love to hate

I went out to the bar with 3 friends after playing hockey on Sunday morning. On the table were trivial pursuit cards. Mr. Cynical picked one of the cards up and asked Blocker and I a question. We both sat there with dumb looks on our faces. After playing 2 hours [...]

“It was made to be worn only on the runway…”

I bought this really cute brown skirt from charlotte russe a year ago.  The problem was I don’t really wear brown, so I didn’t have a shirt to go with it.  I bought this cute brown shirt from NY&Company about 4 months ago and this morning decided (since it’s supposed to be 72 degrees today), [...]

a practical resolution

When the ball dropped at midnight on New Year’s, I made a resolution that was practical: travel more.
It’s been four months now and I am proud to say that this was the best new year’s resolution I could have ever made. So far I’ve traveled to the following places:
Washington, D.C.
Pittsburgh
Tampa
St. Petersburg
Detroit
Atlantic City
Okay, so maybe [...]

Drama and baggage? No thank you.

When I moved to Philadelphia, I met a core group of girls that I hung out with pretty consistently.  It was the first time I had a close knit group of girls to hang out with all the time.  And more importantly, a group of girls who I wouldn’t want to kill at the end [...]

a change of heart?

Ever since I was little, I followed professional sports to a T. I loved watching the Olympics too, always wishing my parents had put me through gymnastics practice instead of soccer practice. My brothers played competitive sports and my father coached us in soccer for several years. Sports was in my blood.
I [...]

What is this city coming to?

About a week and a half ago a man was attacked at a subway stop, beaten and later died.  A couple days ago a woman was attacked at the same subway stop and beaten by juveniles.  Today, a man was attacked and assaulted on the subway, at the same stop as the other two incidents.  [...]

It’s only life…

My best friend started Run2Inspire to raise funds and awareness for cervical cancer.  She held a benefit in Pittsburgh in January and raised over $900.  It was amazing.

The Garden State? More like the Crappy State

New Jersey.
I never really liked it.  Sure, it’s got all the shore points, but considering I grew up vacationing in South Carolina (where the real beaches are!), I don’t really dig it too much.
Then I got a new job in Cherry Hill and my opinion of it started to change.  Gas prices are still under [...]

determined

When I moved to Philly, I wanted to get active in sports. I found a women’s soccer team and played with them for about 3 games and then quit because the games were too far from the city and at the time, I didn’t have my car here. So my roommate told me [...]

new job, new blog

I got a new job with a mid-sized law firm in South Jersey in March. Since then, I feel like my life has been in “super crazy busy” mode all day, every day.
I went home to Pittsburgh for Easter and I got a new haircut (it’s an angled bob with radiant red highlights - I [...]
