My Favorite Conversation of the Day

Me… “I need a distraction.”
Her… “You do…you really do.”
Me… “I prefer my distractions to be tall, dark, and handsome.”
Her… “Indeed.”

So There I Was…Car Key Edition…

A few weeks ago I went on a super-fun camping trip with a friend.  We drove, we camped, we made fire…it was four days of wild Alaskan goodness. 
And on the fourth day we returned home to my sister’s house.  (We were staying at the sister’s house due to my current lack of…a house.) 
We unpacked the [...]

Things My Boss Has Said…Friday Edition

We all know and love my boss…yes?
A few moments ago we are leaving a meeting and he says to me…
“So what are you doing for lunch today.”
And I say…
“Probably just having a protein bar and running some errands.”
And he says…
“You know what?  I miss fat and happy Davita.  She liked to do things and go [...]

Oh. My. Word.

If there were ever a good reason to blog three times in one day, this is it.
Prepare yourself.
I was out at lunch running errands and listening to the radio…
The radio DJ starts talking about Brian Dunkleman.  Do you know Brian Dunkleman?  He was the co-host (with R. Seacrest) for the first season of American Idol. [...]

Doctor Doctor

I stopped by a walk-in clinic this morning to see a doctor and secure a prescription for some antibiotic. 
Am I sick?  Not yet.  But I feel it coming.  And I want it to stay away from my vacation.  It was more of a preventative measure than anything.  You see…I get sick pretty regularly when I [...]

Virtual Model

I’ve been shopping on-line today looking for a new bathing suit.  I found one I really liked at Lands End…but it was a lot more than I wanted to spend.  I kept looking anyway.
And then I noticed that you could try the suits on a “virtual model”. 
So I did.
You put your weight, height, and body [...]

Are You KIDDING ME?

So there I was…driving to Target and talking on the phone to my friend Angie.  I was telling her that it was finally over zero degrees for the first time in two weeks.  I was joking that the 1 degree weather almost felt warm. Joking.
And then I walked into Target.  And saw the new display [...]

Square Peg Round Hole

Sit back and relax.  I’m going to tell you a little story about a girl.
This girl, we will call her Davita (because that is her name), was house/dog sitting for a friend from work.  Davita loves dogs.  So she was excited to house sit.  She was supposed to start the dog sitting adventure on Monday.
She [...]

So I Have a Little Problem

Shhhh…Don’t tell my niece and nephew but some of their gifts from Santa are currently camping out at my apartment.  A hamster and a mouse to be specific.  In cages.  In my house.
Ew.
Let’s just say I wasn’t thrilled to  babysit these two particular gifts.  Last year I got to watch over the Wii.  This year [...]
