Every now and then, it’s good to get away. I don’t think it’s considered playing hooky when you’ve made it clear you’ll be out of the office and are using one of the vacation days you’ve been saving up since 2007, but it still feels…

Today: The Bachelorette.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve never watched the show, but if it’s anything like this past weekend, I’ll be DVR-ing the next season. I got to spend the last three days on the Cape with some of my absolute favorite people. Equal parts low key and dancey,…

Today: Sometimes the little things are the big things.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Today was bound to be one of those days. I got to my desk bright and early so that I could head out for a doctor’s appointment. I was scheduled for some testing, poking and prodding… not exactly my idea of a pleasant lunch…

Today: Royal tea.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I was one of the freak-os up early enough to see Princess Kate in all her glory. Except that I was up to go to a conference, not observe a royal wedding. Boring. Had I not been otherwise committed, I’d have been enjoying…

Today: Gone to pot.
4/20 seems to have something to do with weed. I don’t have much to add on the subject, but the Arabic word for grass is hasheesh, and our entire class of college juniors and seniors giggled our way through that chapter (which was about neighborhoods,…

Today: When Thursday equals Friday.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] You know you’ve been living in a cave your office (with no time to Google around) for too long when your sister mentions something about a potential government shut down and you’re all, Huhhhh? The fact you’re going through three times the normal…
