One reason I love my Opa
He used to volunteer at a place called The Shepard Center in his town in NC. Because after a life designing rockets and missiles you evidently don’t do retirement.
One of the things he did was to teach computer skills to the elderly. (I asked him once how it was so confusing for them…he reminded me that it’s pretty backwards to log off of your computer by first hitting the...

Tuesday
I have had one Krispy Kreme donut and I have a strawberry cupcake sitting on my desk. This is more sweets than my office had at Halloween or Christmas.
I received a package from a co-worker at another agency. Not Valentine-y, but it was a Britney Spears t-shirt that had been in his 16 year old son’s car for 6 months. He said he was going to throw it away, but thought that I would be upset...

In which I befriend older ladies.
My running group is mostly women in their late 30s and beyond. But alas, I’m totally ok with that because, well, honestly because there’s no way that I could run half and full (!) marathons without this group.
So they’re all on facebook as well. And I’m facebook friends with them. While I feel silly, the support is awesome.
Last Wednesday one of the ladies (who, by the...

My boyfriend just sent me this link* with the subject line “Love You.”
This is why I don’t feel it necessary to celebrate Valentine’s Day. He does this shit all the time. So cute.
*Ugh, I know…it’s Fox News. But, I mean, compromise, right?

I didn’t watch The Grammys.
I found out about Ms. Diva’s death while at Valentine’s dinner on Saturday night when the Maitre’d came into the dining room and made the announcement. So there’s that.
There is an annual engineering conference this week and upon looking at the agenda, the majority of the items have to do with my projects. I’m really incredibly...

grace in place: rant. →
graceinplace:
i keep hearing comments about fans cheering for a specific school even though they more than likely did not attend or graduate from that school.
i didn’t go to duke, carolina, or nc state — does that mean i can’t cheer for them? i’m not considered a true fan?
i’m a north carolina native, and…
Preach, Grace.

(Momma, look! You're famous[er])
deathbycupcakes replied to your post: In which my Momma is the best.
your mom is so adorbs. i have always loved her awesome hair (wish more women would embrace their natural color), her commitment to St. Michaels, and the fact that she is a badass medical examiner!

In which my Momma is the best.
My mom just called me at work to let me know that she’ll be flying to Austin to watch me run my first marathon. Just for the weekend…using her frequent flier miles…by herself…renting a hotel room.
And this, my friends, is what it means to have the most loving and supportive Momma of all time*.
To show you how awesome she is, here’s a picture of her on Franklin St....

Co-worker: When can you start leaving your child in the bathtub by him/herself? Not for like 20 minutes, but to go change clothes or something.
Boss: When they have pubes.
