I’m a little deprived — of sleep, that is. Eight hours? Try five. Maybe six. I’ve always stayed up late — at home, in college and now. When the rest of the world seems to be drifting into Dreamland, when all of those little green dots on Gchat start disappearing, and the lights in theContinue reading “Huffington, Leive Say Getting Rest is Key to Getting Ahead as a Woman”

Training for a Half-Marathon on List of Goals for 2010
I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. If I want to do something badly enough, I try to do it during the year. This year, though, I’m feeling more motivated to think about my goals for 2010, in part because I have a lot I want to accomplish in the months ahead. I’ve foundContinue reading “Training for a Half-Marathon on List of Goals for 2010”
Gilbert: ‘Investigative Reporting Our Best Argument for Relevance’
Earlier this month I interviewed Bristol Herald Courier investigative reporter Daniel Gilbert about his eight-part series on lingering conflicts over the ownership of coal-bed methane gas in Buchanan County, Va. The conflicts led to thousands of owners getting cheated out of money that they should have received for use of their property.

Got an iPhone, Now in Need of Some Apps
This weekend I familiarized myself my new iPhone and started downloading some apps. Up until last week, I owned a pretty straightforward LG phone that didn’t have Smartphone capabilities. Now I’ve converted to the Jesus phone. And yes, it’s heavenly. I feared that I’d never put my iPhone down once I got one, simply becauseContinue reading “Got an iPhone, Now in Need of Some Apps”
Clara the Cat Makes for a Friendly Companion
I have a few different blog posts I’m working on, but for now I just wanted to share some photos of my cat, Clara. She’s sitting here, curled up on my lap as I type this.

Went to My First Pro Football Game, Watched Saints Beat Bucs 38-7
I went to my first professional football game today. (Yes, insert “What?!” reaction here.) Growing up, I never went to football games. My dad wasn’t much into sports other than Nascar, so going to games was never something we did together. In fact, it wasn’t until college that I went to my first pro baseballContinue reading “Went to My First Pro Football Game, Watched Saints Beat Bucs 38-7”
