Liquid Limo Light Night!

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

As a Christmas present from “the guys,” Girls Night was presented with a limo Thursday evening to chauffeur the six of us around the Cleveland-area lighting displays. Complete with three bottles of champagne, “Bob the limo driver” took us through Nela Park over in East Cleveland and through Public Square to rev up the holiday [...]

I left my hat on the tour bus!

A little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll. No, it wasn’t Karoke night Wednesday at The Wedge bar in Austintown, but a tour stop by country star Trent Tomlinson — and he certainly knows how to prompt a sing-a-long. Whether guitar in hand, shots with fans, or jumping on top of the [...]

I wish I could make this stuff up… cuz then I’d be a writer. And I would be rich.

Time machine: I said “No, thanks!” (very, very nicely) to a guy I wasn’t all that interested.

Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play
And we ride on them things like every day
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta’s roamin’
And parties dont stop til’ eight in the mornin’
There was one day when I felt as if I had a vacation. This was not one of those weekends. One entire day was completely spent in [...]

Not sure how or what to think, so I just won’t.

I waited for this day to happen. Maybe “waited” is an inappropriate term — perhaps, I subconciously knew the day would come when I least expected. My former thoughts resigned to succumbing in an emotion-induced hyperventilation on a random sidewalk somewhere, but my feeling is just… numb. Is there supposed to be jealousy? Am I [...]
