Waterfalls and bloody rat murder

I’m in Haiti, and have so many things to say, I don’t know what to tell you first. At the Miami airport, I witnessed a woman in a full-length denim jumpsuit with a zipper from the crotch to the throat. I suppose that’s a good place to start. – – – – – – –…

Tonight

I am leaving for Haiti tonight – on the heels of the saddest week of my life. The situation involves more people than just myself, so I won’t say much.  But this is something that began all the way back here – and now, over 8 months later, my heart is torn down the middle…

Talk about my booty on the internet?

Don’t mind if I do. And in case you think I’m a fraud because I’ve said I’m not training anymore, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill last night, and 7 outside on Saturday.  So, see?  I’m still doing my thang (although last year at this time, I was running 12 miles, so YES I…

The final countdown

The week is here! I leave for Haiti on Friday night (taking the red-eye, which surely sounds more romantic than it actually is), and will be in Port au Prince by 9am on Saturday morning. I can’t wait to hug my sister, and probably some other people, too.  Who knows, I might be a hugging…

Game plan

On this little blog, I don’t really talk in specifics about my dating life (do I have a dating life? You’ll never know). In the event that any given romantic endeavor doesn’t work out, I can handle my own disappointment – but the collective devastation of us all? That would just be too much. I…

“Point your hand over there”

As inspired by this man… … we’ve been working on our dance moves: Double Dream Girls from Annie Parsons on Vimeo. The best moments are at 2:05 (“point your hand over there!”), 2:42 (“butterfly!”), 2:47 (“freestyle!”), and 2:52 (Becca’s amazing punch).

On colors

Discussing the fact that blue is my least-favorite color… Him: “I don’t care what you say.  Blue is awesome, perfect for songs.  It’s the only shade of color that on one side of the spectrum represents extreme happiness (blue skies), and the other, deep pain (having the blues, midnight blue).” Me: “What about yellow.  Sunshine,…
