Coke Museum & High Museum of Fine Arts

Ok, we went to the Coke Museum and Art Museum today.
First, we rode the MARTA so we didn’t have to deal with traffic. It was a nice little ride. On the way home, we were able to talk with some business guys about episodes of the Office.
High Museum of Fine Arts- nice, weird, not [...]

Scrapbooking for a cause

This is for my best friend, Amy, who lives in Shanghai, China, far away from all of her scrapbook materials.
Tonight I scrapbooked a page just for you. When you decide to move back to the United States, I will give you the page. It is full of pictures of the last time you came [...]

Grandmothers death

My grandmother died this morning and I am afraid to cry b/c it may hurt. I have been walking around all day biting my lip and holding back tears. I know she is in a better place, but I already miss her terribly. We were very close.
Tony and I were talking about [...]

GA Aquarium & CNN Center

Fernbank- it was ok. It was definitely [...]

Dwight Schrute: Your pencils are creating a health hazard. I could fall and pierce an organ.
Jim Halpert: Because right now, this is a job. If I advance any higher, this would be my career. And if this were my career, I’d have to throw myself in [...]

Super Bowl Commercials

Well, we watched the Super Bowl tonight (way to go COLTS!) and with it came the commercial fun. All in all, Tony and I both think it was a lame year for commercials, but there were a few winners.
My favorites: The wedding w/auctioneer, K-Fed & Burger King, the Fiddler Crab honorarium, the Careerbuilder.com series, [...]

Reunion

The last time I saw Jamie was 18 years ago, the week after our high school graduation party. About twelve of us from the graduating class decided to go to Gulf Shores for the week to celebrate our freedom from high school. After we returned from the beach, a little more tanned, and a [...]
