The Sauce

I fell off the wagon. 
Went to a movie tonight with a friend…had a HORRIBLE headache.  (Had it most of the day…)  I think it was partially withdrawal…and partially a sinus headache caused by the impending rain storm.
I went by Fred Meyer on the way home to purchase some Advil…and wouldn’t you know that I wound [...]

A Personal Triumph

I’m somewhat of a Coke addict.  And no, I do not mean the illegal powdery substance, I’m referring to the very legal carbonated beverage.
I drink SEVERAL a day.  Sometimes up to 8 or 10.  I know it’s gross…but again, I’m an addict. I’ve tried to quit before…I’ve tried to cut down…I’ve tried to drink diet.  [...]

I’m Tormented

I’m distraught.  I’m disturbed.
And why?
The Lakers…THE LAKERS…are one game away from being in the NBA finals.
 

120 Months

I just realized that I graduated from high school almost exactly ten years ago.  If that isn’t frightening…I don’t know what is…
If you has asked 18 year old Davita where she would be in ten years…she probably would not have told you that she would be single and living in Alaska. 
That’s all for now!
 

What is Memorial Day?

I’m excited about having Monday off work…and I’m sure that most of you are too! : )  But…Memorial Day is more than just a three-day-weekend.
Memorial Day is always observed on the last Monday in May.  It is specifically designated as a day to remember those that have died in service to our country. 
So…on Monday, in [...]

Sunrise…Sunset

A lot of people have asked me about the daylight/dark situation in Alaska. In Anchorage the summer daylight is very extended, but because we are south of the Artic Circle we never have a time that it is entirely light or entirely dark.Right now we have about 6 hours of darkness out of every 24-hour [...]

Deep Thoughts…By Davita

I realize that I’m not old. I’m not even close to old…but I’m not getting any younger. It has been a long time since I’ve been in a relationship. Most days I’m okay with that. I’m not particularly lonely. I’m not one of those girls that is eternally planning their wedding or doodling my name [...]

What?

I have always kind of been an airline snob.  I prefer to fly American Airlines.  I don’t really have a good reason…it has just always been my preference.
I’m thinking about breaking up with AA.  I was a little thrown off when they announced that they would now be charging for a second checked bag.  But…I [...]

Austin

I’m watching the Bachelorette.  (I’m pathetic…and I’m okay with it.)
Just realized that I totally forgot to look up Brad Womack (circa the Bachelor season 11) while I was in Austin and tell him what a tool I think he is.
 

There’s No Place Like Home!

My trip was great. The weather was nice. The traveling (other than a slight delay getting back to AK) went off without a hitch and the conference was surprisingly not boring. All in all…a grand week.I successfully visited a lot of people during my brief layovers at DFW. It was great to catch up with [...]
