    Road Trippin’

    August 28, 2007

    As I briefly mentioned in a past post, my office is going through a reorganization. If you’ve never had the pleasure you should try to keep it that way. Since the office is ripe with doubt, frustration and misery I’m quite anxious to be distracted. The new car has distracted me beautifully (oh my god, I got into work early this morning because I couldn’t wait to get up so I could drive my car. I am lame. That’s an actual quote from a friend when I told them that story.) but it can’t last forever. My new distraction is the fact that I’m going to the mountains this weekend!…

    Marit 2.0

    August 28, 2007

    While I’m pretty sure that no one cares what I ate for lunch today, I have begun to think that the best blogs detail the day-to-day lives of ordinary people in an interesting and entertaining way. No one reads this blog as far as I can tell so it’s hard to tell if I’m entertaining, but I know that up to this point many of my posts have been about thoughts, theories and moping: some brought on by circumstance but most just personal musings when I realized I hadn’t written for awhile. I’m pretty sure that last sentence wasn’t entertaining. So here’s my new leaf- I’m going to use this…

    Ode to my Honda

    August 25, 2007

    I bought my 1992 Honda Accord in September of 2001, (not a difficult time to remember). When I bought it it had 180,000 miles on it and my expectation was that it would get me through my college years. If I recall correctly I paid $3250 or thereabouts; the lean, college years and all that. Two weeks from now would have marked my six year anniversary with that car (it lasted me two years past a long overdue end of my college career). I hit 225,000 miles on it last week. Both of those are great statistics. My car (Angel) has been all over the south and as far north…

    upheaval

    August 21, 2007

    There’s been a great deal of upheaval, or more accurately, potential upheaval in my life lately: The office is being reorganized (one of the mostly stressful things you can go through in your job according to some survey– or possibly it’s a made-up statistic). I’m trying to buy a new (used) car but have been unable to find just the right one (leading my friends to comment on how this pickiness may have something to do with why I’m single). I’m about to start classes again but this time as the Vice President for the professional society associated with my masters program (yeah! biting off more than I can chew!).…
