Cute Italian

So I met this guy from work who was visiting from our Geneva office this week. His name is Massimiliano. We had a few drinks, he bought me a shirt, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day....why can't all guys be Italian!

Tornado in Atlanta

This pretty much sums up life these days! Tornado hit Atlanta, and of course I was a few blocks from it! All weekend I was under a Tornado Warning. What can I say, life isn't dull!

Here are a few pics of the Tornado and the Damage....and a few of me just for fun. (Yep, I was sipping on cocktails during the storm!)

Thanksgiving in Chicago!

We are going to Chicago for Thanksgiving. It's suppose to snow! I can't wrap my head around this easily because it is still in the 70's here in Atlanta....in November! Crazy, isn't it? Anyway, I've been thinking of what I am thankful for this year. I really would say that my friends and family take the top of the list. They have helped me transition to a new job, a new home, and I really do believe that I am a lot better off today than I was a year ago. I needed some shake-up in my life and it seems my recent decisions were the right ones. I think for the first time, I'm looking forward to the holidays (alone) and I'm not scared. I'm going to be ok, because I'm not really alone at all.

Hmmm

Why can't life have a script sometimes. I read books, watch television shows, loving the fact that I know for some reason the happily ever after is going to come. But in my life, I'm not sure. Where is my knight in shining armour, where is the big break in my career, where is the background music during my big moment.....it's just not there. I guess I'm supposed to put one foot in front of the next, keep humming to create my own soundtrack of life, and look for the small moments that make it all worth while. But doesn't everyone sometimes ask the question, "When is it my turn?" When is it my turn to cut a little sliver of happiness from the pie of life. I'm ready....I'm ready.....destiny, can you hear my phone ringing? Pick the f*@king thing up!

It Happened One Night

Thanks to Blockbuster online, I was able to see this classic movie. It has Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert and was released in 1934. It went on to win 5 academy awards. Funny, funny movie. Too bad that more people of our generation will never see it.

Bah'ston

I went to Boston last week on a brief vacation. This great town has an Irish Pub on every corner and the good ol' Yankees are hated more than ever. What a great town! I can honestly say that the best of Boston is found in the people....whether hanging out in the Italian North End, or at the local Irish pub...Bostonians are the nicest around. I hope I can go back one day...if not just to briefly stop in for a pint at my new favorite Irish pub, "Mr. Dooleys." Save me a Guiness!

Vacation

I need one.
