A Special Blend

Musings of a young, artistic homeowner.

Name:
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I thought about a PhD in Literature, French or Latin. Almost enrolled in Georgetown's MBA program. Toyed with the idea of studying graphic design. But instead I've been working on a home grown MBA and self-tutored digital illustration. I absolutely love my job in the coffee/service industry, and could hardly ask for a happier life, here fixing up my house, fiddling on my computer, smiling at my customers...Life is good. (Next stop: small business of my own?)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

Hi all,

Just felt like saying, hi.

A quick update on my last post...
The wall is now red. Very red.
I am now shampoo-free and still deciding how I feel about it.
It is a bit too cold to walk to the lake right now (we drove instead, walked around for a minute in the brrrr cold, and then ran back to the car).
We found a Chipotle in Charlotte and drove to it. Mmmm, Chipotle.
Mark is here in town and for a full week right now. Yay!

In other news, we have watched a lot of movies this week:
"Becoming Jane"
"Tropical Thunder"
"Get Smart"
"Forbidden Kingdom"
"Quantum of Solace"
and tonight, "Hellboy II"

Hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving weekend!

I've been tagged

by my good friend Dahlia.

So 7 things about me that you might not know:

1) My bedroom wall is gray, on its way to being red.

2) I have my first bumper sticker ever on my Prius. (Mark stuck it on and I can't decide how I feel about it -- it seems so loud.) It's an Obama sticker, you might have guessed. And yes, we did stick it on before he won. It is my contribution to NC going blue.

3) I put 30,000 miles on my car in 10 months. (Thank goodness for 48 mpg!)

4) I'm considering going shampoo-free.

5) I can walk to a lake from my apartment, but I have to trespass to get a good view or drive to a public spot.

6) Chipotle is quite possibly one of my favorite foods to eat out. Mmm, Chipotle! Starbucks is my other favorite "out" place. Mark and I walk to Chipotle and or Starbucks with great frequency when we are in Baltimore.

7) I miss Mark.
