Summer reading.
I have some trips planned this summer for work (unfortunately not for vacation), but I am looking for some cheesy chick lit or good books that you can’t put down that I can read on the plane (or by the pool on the weekends!).
I have read everything by Lauren Weisberger, Emily Griffin and Stephanie Meyer. I have read a lot of books by Jane Green, Meg Cabot and Ariella Papa.

Time off & more condos.
Every year I find myself with extra vacation days at the end of the year, wishing I took more time off in the summer. It is blistering hot during Texas summers, but isn’t that what the pool and AC is for? I need to take some time off this summer, even if I don’t have a vacation planned.
I also know I need to take some time off for moving, which will eventually happen. I just sent my...

Raleigh, NC Recap.
I spent the long weekend with my friend Jess, who moved to Raleigh about 10 months ago. We spent some time in Raleigh and then headed to the Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington area to end the weekend with some beach time.
Raleigh is a cute city, its clean and the nightlife is pretty fun.
I LOVE North Carolina BBQ.

Happy birthday to me.
Today I am 27 years old.
I am entirely too close to 30.
I hope this year brings more good times with family and friends.
And even more happiness.
Maybe 27 will bring me a man…
27 will the year I buy my first place.
Cheers to 27!

"Juicy."
I just finished watching Real Housewives of New Jersey. Here are my thoughts:
The show takes place in Franklin Lakes, NJ. I grew up in Wanaque, NJ. According to Google Maps, they are 8.4 miles apart.
I worked in Franklin Lakes in high school and college.
My mom worked in Franklin Lakes for a long time.
My mom and dad grew up in Oakland, NJ. According to Google Maps, they are 3.1 miles apart....

No Bravo?
I was pretty jazzed to watch Real Housewives of NJ last night. There is definitely some six degrees of separation going on with me and all of those crazy, plastic, orange NJ ladies on the show.
10pm is late for me. I know, I am a serious nerd. But I stayed up and started flipping through channels to find Bravo. Apparently, I don’t have Bravo. Way to go Gables for only offering Grande...

Decisions, decisions.
I saw some awesome condos today. By seeing so many places, it makes it easier to narrow down what I want and don’t want in a home.
I found two places that I really like and I keep going back and forth on them. Weighing the positives and negatives and trying to decide if the pros and cons really are pros and cons.
Condo #1 has a cute little courtyard updated kitchen and bathrooms and both...

Ants!
I was sitting on the couch watching Grey’s Anatomy when I felt something on my hand. An ANT! I squish it in a napkin and throw it away only to come back and see more of them crawling on my windowsill and walls and some on the couch. Seriously?!
I have a cat so I would have had to go to Home Depot to find some pet safe ant traps so I Googled ants and cats. I found that cinnamon, cucumber...

100 Twitter updates.
I was so anti-Twitter for a long time, but thanks to my friend JRL, I just made my 100th update.
I know a lot of people who don’t get Twitter, but once you get into it, it’s actually fun. It’s interesting to jot down random thoughts or things that happen during the course of the day. I agree that I don’t really care what people are doing every minute of every day, but...
