Has your past caught you yet?

Thanks to Facebook, the once-cool but fading MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and all the other growing networking tools out there, every single person from my extended past has crept back into my life in the past three years. They say you can’t hide from your past, and I’ll be darned if “they” weren’t right. It’s tracking me like a baby zebra separated from the herd. I’ve spent these past... [Read more]

You say “maintenance” like it’s a bad thing!

Indulgent, yet smart

I’ve always been an indulgent woman. It’s a struggle to say no to an extravagant night out with all my friends when money is tight. While the economy is in the toilet and cutting back is a necessity, I wish I could be the “smart” girl, happy with sitting at home eating PB&J sandwiches, sipping Two-Buck Chuck and adjusting the rabbit ears on my cable-less TV. That isn’t me. I just can’t... [Read more]

How we do things ’round here

Let’s face it, the Triangle isn’t exactly at the top of everyone’s vacation destination list. We don’t have ancient ruins, sunny beaches or a trendy theater district.
