two dolla

I’m kinda jonesin’ for a vacation right about now, except A) no vacation time until November and B) a paycheck that would make me cry if it weren’t for the fact that I’m so in love with my job. And my frequent flier miles aren’t anywhere close to the number it’d take to get me [...]

I love Chicago, and since I’m forced by my status as a Twins fan to hate the White Sox, the Cubs are my default Chicago-related team. And honestly, even if it weren’t for the Sox being giant douches, I’d still love the Cubs. I’ve been to Wrigley Field three times, twice for games and once [...]

For almost 30 years, I didn’t really have any desire at all to leave the country. Sure, it’d beautiful everywhere and sure, it’s cool to see it on TV, but I really had no desire to leave the continental U.S. And then the cruise of 2007 happened and I want to go everywhere.
Granted, this whole [...]

I read some more of the internet today. I think I’ll have read the whole thing by the time I’m employed again. Today’s topic? Rodeos! And more specifically, the National Finals Rodeo that’s held in Vegas every year. I think I actually wrote about the same topic sometime last year, which is what prompted me [...]

Someone jumped off our favorite cruise ship!

According to a news release from the Coast Guard, the woman had been traveling with her boyfriend on the Costa Mediterranea when "she had become angry and agitated and then unexpectedly jumped overboard."

Knowing what I know about the Costa Mediterranea and being obsessed with each and everyone one of [...]

In the midst of going between not being able to move my back and having chills so bad I think I might die, I’ve been editing vacation pictures in the hopes that I can soon right about everything and include pictures. But now that I’m on my Grand Cayman/stingray pictures, I felt like I needed [...]

For the past 24 hours, I’ve been close to wanting to throw up. See, my brand new memory card that I took out of the box right before vacation seems to have had its way with some of the pictures I took on vacation. I’ve ran one program to fix the pictures and ended up [...]

So, 48 hours ago? I’m pretty sure I was swimming in a pool. Filled with salt water. Aboard the Costa Mediterranea. In the middle of the ocean. Heading back to Florida.
Just now? I put on boots, jeans, two shirts, and the thickest winter jacket I own to stomp around in the ice while my dog [...]

I’m not doing a very good job at posting, which is unfortunate, because I have a lot of fun things I could have written about in the past week!
Instead, I’m busy packing for the cruise that I’ll be taking tomorrow. Is it the most irresponsible thing I could do while unemployed? NOT REALLY. It’s been [...]

When we got back from our cruise last March, Jenni and I had this glorious plan to put together a book with all of our favorite photos. But I’m a giant slacker and never got around to scanning the two pictures I ended up buying on the cruise, because I absolutely could not live without [...]
