Labor Day weekend for me is usually the same. Before college, I’d spend Saturday watching football with my dad and relishing in the start of a new season. We’d probably grill at least once, and just kind of hang out. Once I got to college, it was pretty much the same, but I was tailgating, [...]

I’ve been spending enough time parked in front of Panera without coming in that they probably think I’m casing the joint and my license plate has been added to their people-to-watch list. I never realized exactly how much I do via the internet and not having it at my disposal at home is driving me [...]

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, and I’ve started my 23rd year on this planet like a complete idiot. Apparently I’m just as irresponsible and easily distracted as I was when I was 9. Either that, or the 9 year old I’m hanging out with has rubbed off on me. Let’s start from the beginning. Last [...]

How do I even explain the last two days? Friday was spent finishing packing and then loading up my car. I was trying to plan a way to use my GPS while also using my iPod radio transmitter, both of which require a cigarette outlet and I only have one in my car. So I [...]

I have experienced some great customer service in my life. Companies who wait on you hand and foot to make you happy. Which, when I’m paying for your service, shouldn’t be awesome. It should be expected. Rewind to last week when I was returning from New Orleans.  It had been a long day of traveling [...]

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” –Zig Ziglar I haven’t added onto this thought in a while, but I really do want to continue the series I sort of started. This would be next after the first post. Recognize that at some point [...]

WOW. What an internet break it’s been. I basically haven’t been online for the last 8 days. First I went to New Orleans, which was amazing and now I can’t wait to go back. I took a ton of great pictures, had some really amazing tours, and some even more amazing random encounters. My travel [...]

I’m just writing because I haven’t written in a few days to let anyone who is reading know that it will be another few days! I’m currently sitting in the Charlotte airport waiting for my flight to New Orleans. Stay tuned because I’m sure there will be plenty of shenanigans to share when I get [...]

One of my biggest pet peeves, whether it’s personal or business related, are people with no follow through. I like to be able to depend on people, so if you say you’re going to call, call. If you say you’re going to give me an update later, don’t forget to give me an update later. [...]

I officially love this month. I’ve always loved August, because I love the whole back to school shopping thing and the transition into fall and the start of FOOTBALL (except this year our first game is in September. Boo.) and also my birthday happens to close out the month. This particular August is shaping up to [...]
