Viva!

Another great weekend to add to my collection of post-grad adventures.

This is all I will share because we all know the rule: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

There is nothing better than a window seat.

Loosing pennies... and sitting by a creepy old man.

We'll be back...

Drumroll Please!

The office finally decided on the shirt that we are going to wear in the race, and I won!!! Although the majority vote on this site was for the cityscape, that design was eliminated in the first round of judging. This design made it through with revisions, and then won the office vote! Hip, hip, hooray!!!

Word Homie

Words, when used properly, can make such a difference. I am always scrambling for the best way to communicate my thoughts, but nothing ever seems to come out right! Thanks to this curse, I have a great appreciation for people who use their words well.

One of my friends pointed out that my use of "cool" was no longer acceptable. According to her, whenever I said "cool," it came across as sarcastic, although it was often complimentary! And then, the whole room of my friends agreed with her. Not cool guys...

I'm just saying, I appreciate a good word every now and again. I love to hear "take care" instead of the "see ya later" that I so casually throw out. Or "lavatory" to replace the typical "bathroom." And also, "certainly" instead of "sure." Oh the little things in life...

Other words I enjoy and use frequently, in no particular order: naughty, dainty, precious, and clever.
The word that I do not like: meal - and I don't know why, I just don't like it.

I hope that everyone says a new, good word today! :)
