So, quite randomly this morning, I made a mental note to do a search for 5Ks in the area and sign up for one as soon as possible. Moments later, I found myself marveling a bit. We've come a looong way, baby. Follow me, won't you? This is the girl who chose to take zeroes for the day …
The Thing about George Clooney.
You don't want to hear about the other thing about George Clooney, which is my undying admirating for this generation's Clark Gable and his suits and that salt-and-pepper hair. And I won't do that to you. However, it's the present thing about him that has captured my attention. Rumors abounded this weekend that Clooney had …
My 20.
So AMEX has this new card geared toward the harried multi-taskers of the wold, aka, moms. I'm not a mom, and I dare not apply for an American Express card (I envision a decline letter coming back with 1,000 LOLs), but I love Tina's list above of 20 aspects of her life/days as a mom. So here's are …
We Need to Talk About This.
So it's no surprise that I'm quietly freaking out about this. You know I love her. Here's why I'm happy with People's choice this year: 1.

Some of you don't believe that the fact that she's an Unmarried African Woman (UAM) needs to be capitalized, or even an issue. And if that's …
Spring!
Happy First Day of Spring, all. Be comforted that from today until the beginning of summer, there will either be lovely, light days to delight your eyes in your morning... ...Or several feet of snow in your driveway to assault those poor eyes in the morning. Sorry. Did I burst your bubble? Forgive me. The effects of …
Lessons in Frenglish
Let me explain my relationship with the French language. In 7th grade, I was in a class called International Foreign Language, where we were basically given a smorgasbord of different languages and cultures to learn about. French, Spanish, German. Needless to say, I quickly fell in love with French. Can't really explain it; maybe it …
About a Boy.
As I stood in line at the café at work and watched one of the employees step over to the espresso machine to whip up a latte for a customer, I thought of him. It was such an interesting time in my life, really, all of it, and he was, by far, the most significant …
