Trilogy Time

So I’m back in San Diego today after a great Mastermind experience with fellow speakers in Chicago yesterday. I spent my day resting (as the quick time change turnaround had a big effect on me) and catching up on a few of the TV shows I missed while traveling. Last Monday night’s episode of How […]

Friday Finish 04.06.12

So I’m back in San Diego to see my fiancé. I’m sorry that my drive out here yesterday prevented me from posting the Friday Finish. I posted a few different blog entries this week including a repost of a 2007 entry I wrote right after I had the chance to work with Thomas Kinkade (his […]

What You Display

So I’m grocery shopping last night to get some vegetables for a salad, and I stumble upon this little sign. That’s right. It’s 59 cents a pound with the card, or 0 cents a pound without the card. Unfortunately, I used the card to get discounts on other items, and did not end up getting […]

Packing & Purging

I’m in an interesting stage of life right now. It’s a stage most people go through several times–especially in their early 20’s. As I’ve mentioned several times in this blog, my fiancé moved to San Diego last June for work. Our December engagement provided me the assurance to leave Arizona and join her there, so […]

Friday Finish 03.30.12

I’m sitting at the Washington Dulles airport awaiting my flight home after a great week of working with awesome students. This week was a bit surreal […]

I normally just get the “how-was-your-rental” question when I return my car, but this particular National Rental Car employee was really serious. I thought about her question for a minute and I mentioned the difficulty in finding gas now that the […]

Meeting People

I spent a longer weekend at the Michigan Association of Student Councils. As always, it was a super fun event with some great student leaders. Flight schedules added an extra night to my trip, allowing me a wonderful opportunity to visit with some advisors outside the big dance. It was a blast. We spent over […]

Friday Finish 03.23.12

“May the odds ever be in your favor!” Yes, I just got back from a matinee screening of The Hunger Games. It’s good. I think you’ll like it (assuming you didn’t already watch a midnight screening last night). If you’re standing in line, perhaps you can check out these blog entries on your phone. I […]

Retraction

If you’ve followed this blog for more than a few months, y0u probably know I’m a huge This American Life fan. I think more people should listen to the radio show, the podcast, and/or download their incredible app. The show often makes me laugh, makes me think, sometimes makes me cry, and even sometimes challenges […]
