Dating Panic! Is it Me?

I’m settling in nicely here in Conover, NC, absolutely loving my new place and the gorgeous springtime, feels like summer time, weather.  And to further prove this was the right choice for my new home, the flowers are in bloom and they are all..pink!  If that doesn’t scream girly girl, I don’t know what does….

Walking the Fine Line between Exciting and Scary

I know, I know…I’ve been silent for a bit. I’m so sorry, but transitioning from a temporary home in VA to a permanent home in NC was a bit more overwhelming than I thought it was going to be. I love my new place, and after this past weekend I pretty much have all the… Continue Reading

Surreal Reality

Psst. Can I be totally honest with you? My life has seemed pretty surreal for awhile now. And I’m sitting here trying to figure out just when life began feeling like a dream. Was it when I signed my lease on the condo in North Carolina? Or maybe when I set up temporary residence here… Continue Reading

High School Secrets

Facebook started out as a college student thing, but it’s fast becoming a place for us ‘mature’ people to reconnect with those from our past.

Hello, I’m Princess Girly Girl and I am Vain

The Adventure Continues

It’s official. I will be moving back to North Carolina the first weekend in April. I’ve found a cozy little condominium that I will call home, very close to Hickory, NC. Sometimes the speed with which my life changes shocks me. In a good way. Just last week I wasn’t sure if I’d be moving… Continue Reading

Is There a Grinch for Valentine’s Day?

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Luckily I’ve been spending a lot of time working from my hotel room in North Carolina and haven’t had to deal too much with all the red chocolate filled hearts and sappy, romantic commercials. Do I sound like the Grinch? Sorry, but being single on a holiday specifically focused on couples… Continue Reading

My Kind of Snow…

I woke up this morning and as I was going about my morning routine of making the bed, applying moisturizer after my shower and getting dressed I was suddenly struck by the fact that behind my closed blinds the light seemed abnormally bright. Not in a ‘the sun is out’ kind of way, but in… Continue Reading

Hope, History and a Brand New Beginning

When you woke up this morning, did you think about what a historic day this was going to be? Today, the United States of America will swear in Barack Obama, a man who has perhaps united our country in a way so many others have only dreamt of. For black American’s they see will see… Continue Reading
