My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • …coming home. I walked into my apartment after being gone for nearly three months and questioned if this was really home…. It’s nice to be back, though. I felt happy unpacking and knowing that I don’t have to lug a suitcase around for at least 8 weeks or more. 😀 As I became familiar with my surroundings again, I also decided that with a new school year should come some changing of the…

  • From Baltimore, I headed back to the City for a few days and spent some time with a few friends. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but in order to meet up with other grad school friends, I headed to Chicago for a few days. Chicago was different than I expected as it’s a big city, but with quite a lot of space. The buildings are amazing architecturally and despite the…

  • _Mennonite in a Little Black Dress:  A Memoir of Going Home_ My friend in NYC is an editor for Henry Holt and she gave me this book when we caught up after four years. She edited this book and she said it was a funny story that she thought I might like. While I’ve become more interested in contemporary fiction, I do find myself drawn to the memoir genre, so I was interested…

  • Usually my summer travels take me to some place in the world, but this year I thought it would be the year that I visit/catch up with friends and family State-side.  With such a long holiday (sorry to brag), it was a cheaper option to stay domestic in the States than to try to traipse around the world. Plus, it’s nice to just take it a bit easier! So, I started my traveling…

  • _9th Judgement_ James Patterson continues to entertain me with this series. It was a better read than what I remember thinking about the _8th Confession_, which is good. I read the entire book on my flights from AD to JFK and was reminded of how much I enjoy having a real book in hand when I’m reading. The story continues with the four women overlapping in their careers and life to help solve…

  • At last my BF is back (thought he was suppose to be back sooner, but I was mistaken…)!! Before we had left on our separate trips, R and I agreed to celebrate our birthdays using a voucher for my subscribing to The National newspaper, but we ended up waiting until he returned to AD. At first, we had agreed to not tell each other when our birthdays were, content to just know that…

  • When I was living in NYC, I went to see “Riverdance” another performance by Michael Flatley. I love to watch any form of dance, but especially like Irish dancing and music. The unfortunate part of seeing the performance in Radio City Music Hall was that I couldn’t see their feet move since the seats were so far away. So, when “Lord of the Dance” was announced to come to Abu Dhabi, I definitely…

  • I was awaken this morning by my awesome parents who called to wish me a Happy Birthday. THANK YOU! 😀 It’s hard to believe I’m 34 today. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been in my family for 26 years! It’s hard to believe I’ve still got friends for the same amount of time. Truly, truly I’ve been blessed and I have no complaints about my life. Yet, in my joy is a…
