It was such a relief not to go into work this morning. J and I had To Do list with a deadline–ASAP! We dropped off our welcome letter, programs and seating cards to the copy place this morning, and I had to go back this afternoon while J was at work to pick them up.… Continue reading 2008 May | SIMA

I didn’t realize how much I liked Matchbox Twenty until the end of their concert last night at the Qwest Center, when my throat was sore from singing and screaming and my legs ached from dancing at my seat. I surprised myself by knowing words to songs I haven’t been played on the radio since… Continue reading 2008 February | SIMA

I should have said something to the nail technician before he put on the top coat, but again I kept my mouth shut. Why do I… Continue reading 2007 December | SIMA

I got really excited and started some maniac research on hotels in Rome, Florence and Venice. Thanks to the itinerary I found, we might also add Naples/Capri,… Continue reading 2007 November | SIMA

In the same year that J proposed to me in Boston, the city where we both went to college, the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four seasons. It was their 7th World Series win.

There was no rain in NYC or Omaha.… Continue reading 2007 July | SIMA
