From the Smokies to the Rockies

I took a quick trip to Denver this weekend to visit The Boy, who is now living the life in a great apartment with a garage, crown molding, daily trash service, and his double reclining couch. Must be nice! Denver seems to be a great city. Especially for those interested in good health (me!) – [...]

In the Windy City

Hello blog readers, Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. I am still alive. Currently sitting in the lobby of the Westin on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, for the 2011 SCAN Symposium. The lobby is packed of people wearing green for the annual St Patrick’s Day parade. Also, cute dogs wearing jackets (this is a [...]

Boston is an old city!

Made it to Boston today – an easy flight from Charlotte (you wouldn’t believe how many dietitians were on the plane), but not quite an easy trip to the hotel. Kathy and I braved taking public transportation in a foreign city, and ended up lugging our suitcases onto 1 bus, 1 subway, and then another [...]

Surprise! It’s June!

How is it already June!? I had some trouble today writing 06/01/10 on my notes today but eventually caught on. This time last year I was just 2 weeks away from graduating from my dietetic internship, madly searching for jobs and trying to figure out what I was going to do with myself after my [...]

Memorial Day Getaway!

Greetings from Hotlanta! The Boy and I have been here since Friday night and have really enjoyed our 3 day weekend thus far. Friday night started with a delay as The Boy got stuck on the interstate for almost 2 hours thanks to a large tractor trailer accident that was blocking all lanes. I had [...]

Back from the Ash…

Made it back from Asheville today after a fun and relaxing weekend with my friends. It was just what we needed :) Our own cottage: My VRBO.com experience proved wise – giving us an adorable little 2 bedroom cottage that was dog friendly. With a wraparound porch complete with table, chairs, and a grill, it [...]

Hotel Fail

Well, the Sheraton didn’t quite live up to our expectations yesterday. In fact, we had numerous fails Our 166 foot water slide was out for repairs The club lounge that we had access to (thanks to my Dad’s priority status) was a bust – an empty room without water or refreshments, and a TV that [...]

A 166 foot water slide awaits

Greetings from the road! We’re currently driving out of Sedona, back to Phoenix, where we will enjoy our last few hours at the hotel’s tennis courts (I have to improve before playing with The Boy this spring/summer), water slide and the mini golf across the street. Then we fly out super early tomorrow. It doesn’t [...]

Greetings from Arizona!

Today is Day 3 from sunny Scottsdale. We’ve had a lot of fun so far – I certainly have enjoyed the transition from cold East Tennessee to warm Southern Arizona! Plus, with the dry air, my hair doesn’t turn magically wavy as soon as I walk out the door – nice! We visited the Desert [...]

Last Day of 23

I made it safe and sound to Athens last night after dropping the dogs off at their canine resort, and fighting my way through Atlanta traffic. Seriously, this city is like none other to drive through. I think that has been one of the benefits of rural living – there’s never traffic! I may have [...]
