Late night run - 7 miles. And GO!
Seeing Double
There are two girls that take turns manning the front desk at the building my client is in - Nice Receptionist and Mean Receptionist. These two girls look very similar - Mean Receptionist just wears glasses, looks irritated, and rarely says anything. Today, for the first time (and mind you I’ve been working in this building since July), I saw both of the receptionists at the desk at the same...
Impromptu Date Night
I had a date tonight. It was sort of by accident. I was at a sushi restaurant in downtown Greenville, sitting at the bar, eating, and watching the Heat/Knicks game. When I’m close to finishing up eating, an attractive girl comes in, sits two seats down from me, and orders a drink. After a bit, I summon up the courage to strike up a conversation. We exchange names and get to chatting. We...
Have you ever experienced two hours of life where all you cared about was dancing? I just did.
#GirlTalk
Work tomorrow is going to be rough…
Happy Girl Talk Day!
Sunday prior to 2 pm consisted of church and running 6.2 miles. I feel accomplished.
The rest of the day will consist of football, work, more football, packing, and more work.
My (Lack of) Social Life
My social life has been pretty lame lately. Combine this with being super busy at work, and I’m ready for the spring…

Update on my New Year List:
I’ve only run 30.1 miles YTD, mostly due to a big blister that I had to let heal, but I ran 4 today so am getting back into the swing of things.
This is happening on March 12.
No progress on this.
Two trips booked.
Something happened today that made me lose sight of this one. It’s upsetting to me and I’m still bothered.
I had a great conversation...

Wake Forest basketball is dead to me. Seriously.

Good news: Ice in Charlotte allowed me to work from home Mon - Wed.
Bad news: Tons of new work was waiting when I got back to Greenville.
It’s going to be a late night…
Congratulations, Auburn. You’re the 33rd best professional football team in the country.
Step Down
Today, I went from shaving with the Gillette Fusion to shaving with the Mach 3 (skipping over the Schick Quattro entirely). The reason was purely financial - Fusion blades are really expensive. Do I feel less manly shaving with three blades instead of five? Of course*, but this new move should save me about $10 a month, so I think it’s worth it.
*I realize how absurd it is to measure...
In the New Year..
I will run 750 miles
…13.1 of which will be on one Saturday morning
I’ll figure out where my career is going
I’ll visit another country
I won’t waste my time with people who don’t deserve it
…but I’ll give more of it to those that do
I’ll go to church
I won’t be afraid of rejection - in work or in play
I’ll learn to be a little...
Just had my free spicy chicken biscuit from...
It was everything I had dreamed it would be.
