February 26, 2010

Ok!  Been a little emo around these parts this week, what with the whole adrenaline-management thing and then some serious self-reflection.  Let’s lighten things up a bit for our Friday shall we?
Just for funsies… today, I’m HOME.  I’m spending the weekend in Minnesota, catching up with my family, swinging by my old place, snuggling with [...]

My Truest Self

February 25, 2010

Note: Sydney, Katie and I all tag-teamed this loosely-defined “topic” after having found inspiration in a recent post of Alex’s.  This is my take.  Oh, and I found the image below here.

The Pescatarian Lifestyle, Part Next

February 17, 2010

Let’s have a little Friday fun, shall we?
I left Minnesota on January 9, and arrived in Colorado early in the morning on the 10th.  The first thing I made sure to mentally bookmark was the fact that the mountains are always West, and this knowledge helped me to not get [...]
