I missed it. I missed Pittsburgh’s “Blog for Equality Day”. And I had no intention of doing so. The state legislature in PA is considering an amendment to ban gay marriage in the state and make bigotry and hatred a permanent part of of the state Constitution.
This blog fully supports the rights of all humans [...]

Video Saturday: Friday’s Fun
After Senator Obama’s speech, I meandered for lunch with my mini-me, the lovely JS. She mentioned that she would be working an event at my favorite coffehouse last night and that I should stop by if I got a chance. As luck would have it, the end of my nap coincided nicely [...]

How I Spent My “Vacation” Day
I had to request 8 hours of vacation time. I had to pull some strings to get a Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket to the event. I stood in line for over an hour and two blocks to get in, went through security’s metal detector, and climbed three flights of stairs into the balcony. But, I [...]

Denial: Not Just a River in Egypt
So, after stumbling across this old post from Stephanie Klein at Greek Tragedy on the end of her marriage, I have slipped into a bit of a Thursday fog. Blah.

Oops, I Forgot
BC and I have a running joke that is always guaranteed to bring a smile to our faces. Every time one of the many co-workers, cousins, acquaintances, or strangers on the street start in about their newborn/ baby on the way/ toddler gymnastics class, etc. we both look at eachother and blurt- “I knew I forgot [...]

One Down, 97 Million to Go
In the grand struggle to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I think I have considered just about every field. But with a new project at work as a recruiter, my time to investigate new jobs has gotten pretty limited. Luckily, jobs come to me.
Part of my duties involve fielding calls [...]

Weekend Milestones
While I was busy eating peanut butter eggs and bellydancing this weekend, we hit two milestones- the 100th post here at Eleanor and the 10,000th visitor. May the next 100 posts be a little more Zen and less like the ramblings of a crazy person being held hostage. Also, I hope you all spent the [...]

A Shimmy and a Snack
The fiance’ left for his mom’s today to spend some time with his little brother and to escape my mood swings, which seem to drift between tears and shouting. His mom looked baffled at me when she asked what I was doing for the day.
“Coffee with BC in the afternoon.”
“And then?” she asked.
“Nothing.”
“Do you want [...]

Special Delivery
Yep. Today’s the big day. My wedding dress comes in via DHL this afternoon. I got a voicemail about a fitting appointment.
And as you know, this excitement is not exactly exciting right now, what with the fiance’s screw-ups and all. I guess I could just sit around the house in the thing and have a Miss Havisham moment. [...]

On Leaping and Looking
If you asked some people I know, the friends and family that have known me for years, they would call me a risk-taker. I have quit jobs with nothing to fall back on but an idea. I once moved 14 hours from home to a city sight-unseen with nothing in my pocket but one month’s [...]
