Yesterday I went to the mall because there were a few makeup and skincare “essentials” that I had run out of. After I finished getting the things I needed, I decided to go over to Lane Bryant to see if they had anything on sale that I could use to add to my wardrobe.

Democratic Convention, Day 3 – The Change We Need
Posted in excitement, inspiration, life, new beginnings, tagged Bill Clinton, Democratic National Convention, Joe Biden on August 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
President Clinton’s speech at the convention was good, but I agree with him, it was very difficult to follow his wife – her speech was far superior, and had much more energy from the crowd than his. People do love Bill Clinton, though, and it took him several minutes to get the crowd to [...]
Democratic Convention, Day 2 – Keep Going
Posted in excitement, happiness, inspiration, journey, life, new beginnings, tagged Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton on August 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I thought that Hillary gave a powerful speech last night, and the part I loved the most was when she repeated Harriet Tubman’s words, “keep going, keep going, keep going.” She couldn’t have said it better, because just as those runaway slaves faced danger in the unknown as they fought their way toward freedom, [...]
Thoughts on Day 1 of the Democratic Convention
Posted in changes, excitement, inspiration, journey, life, new beginnings, tagged Democratic National Convention 2008, Michelle Obama, Ted Kennedy on August 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The tribute to Ted Kennedy and his inspiring words were wonderful, and reminded me of why I became a Democrat to begin with. The man is a fighter, and I hope he is able to stand on the podium in January to welcome Barack Obama as our new president.
Michelle Obama’s speech tonight is what [...]
True Inspiration

The Kennedys are true American royalty, and Ted Kennedy’s speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention was one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen:
Taking back my life

For years, I’ve spent most of my time focusing on my work life – making sure I was the best at my career, whether it was working in industry (I worked at a famous internet company during the dotcom boom) or teaching. I give everything I have to my job, which leaves little for [...]
Fresh Flower Fridays

Ok, I know today is Sunday, but I wanted to write all of my travel log posts before I put this one up.
Remember how I decided a few weeks ago that a new habit of mine would be to buy fresh flowers each Friday as a way to welcome the weekend? It’s been a really [...]
Home Sweet Home

I got home at 2am on Thursday night/Friday morning, and I was too tired to think. I was so happy that I had spent all that time cleaning the house before I left, because there’s nothing better than coming home from a trip to a spotless house.
I dragged all my bags into the house and [...]
Wherein I lost my mind at JFK Airport

What trip would be complete without a tale or two of problems with flights?
CBCB arrived at Logan Airport in Boston around 1:30, in plenty of time to make our 2:35 flight, since we had checked in online. When we got to the counter to check our bags, I was overjoyed that my bag was [...]
Last Day: Swan Boats & Boston Public Garden

All good things must come to and end. On Thursday, August 14th, our last day of vacation, CBCB and I had to catch a flight from Logan airport at 2:35pm. Which meant we needed to be at the airport by 1:30, since we had already checked in online.
With some time to kill, we left The [...]
A day or two at The Cape (and a bracelet to prove it)
Posted in beach, big purchase, fun times, happiness, journey, life, new discoveries, summer, travel, travel log, vacations, tagged Cape Cod, Hyannis, Kennedy on August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Cape Cod has to be one of my most favorite places that I’ve ever been to. The views are magnificent, the vibe is relaxing, and the houses are adorable. And rather affordable, compared to Bay Area prices. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll be able to buy a “summer home” on The Cape? (Well, only if [...]
Sunset Cemetery Tour
Posted in excitement, fun times, journey, life, life's adventures, new discoveries, summer, travel, travel log, vacations, tagged Burial Hill, Plymouth, Sunset Cemetery Tour on August 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When CBCB arrived back at the rental car after dinner with Aunt Mary & Aunt Judy, I happened to see a hearse across the street:
A sunset graveyard tour? How could we say no?!
I inquired about the cost, and for a mere $13, we would take an hour and a half lantern-lit walk through Plymouth, [...]
