No Pictures!

By revolutionaire.
I cannot believe we threw our very first party at my house and NO ONE, not even myself, thought to take any freaking pictures.

What the hell?!

What party, you ask?

Once upon a time, Angela and I needed help moving all our shit into our new house and nine people -- count 'em NINE, stepped up to the plate. It was an overwhelming response to an otherwise meek plea for help in this endeavor. And we so greatly appreciated it, there wasn't any other legitimate expression of our gratitude than to throw a party and invite only those people back over. So we did. And we had a blast. And everyone loved the house. And it was an all-around excellent time.

And no pictures were taken. Not one single picture. It just seems strange to me. How did that happen?

Anyway. Continued gratitude goes out to the nine people (Mom and Dad, Susan, Jon-Michael baby, Carol, Perry, Karen, Cody, and Hollie) who helped us move. I've never experienced such a large group effort go so well.

I love you all.

you boys . . . it was an appreciation party for the people who helped us move.

I'll invite you both to the next party. How's that sound? Actually, you're both in Orlando. Maybe you could carpool. HAHA.

Someone busier than you is running right now.

By revolutionaire.
I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I am Doris.

By revolutionaire.
Thank you Laura for the link. This was interesting. I could relate to more than one of the posed situations. Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz... You Are a Doris! You are a Doris -- "I must help others." Dorises are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

In Intimate Relationships * Reassure me that I am interesting to you. * Reassure me often that you love me. * Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me. What I Like About Being a Doris * being able to relate easily to people and to make friends * knowing what people need and being able to make their lives...

What did the rug say to the floor?

By revolutionaire.
I'm just going to bust out and say it... I don't have anything to say. So it's list time again. 1. Against Me! I thought about it and thought about it and really... it's not able to be summed up in a blog. I saw them two weekends ago and still have a certain amount of euphoria clouding me. And I'm supremely happy about that. I met new -- and entirely temporary -- friends at that show. A group of guys (and a couple girls) struck up conversation with me at the bar and we spent most of the evening hanging out, sipping beer, and talking about music and the movie Independence Day. It was easily a far better time than I would have had if I hadn't made any friends. 2. I've had a handful of people offer to help me get my foot in the door with TOEFL & international schools. In fact, the sister of my co-worker returned last night from China and she said you don't even need a teaching degree -- just certification with TOEFL. She told her brother -- my co-worker...
