New Orleans, December 2012 New Orleans was my overnight stop during my road trip to Houston, TX. It was quite cloudy that day, and I was freaking out about crossing Lake Pontchartrain. As you can see in the bottom picture, all I could see was sky and road…and water on both sides. Once I was situated in my hotel room,… Read more →
My 2012 Year in Review. Today’s goal is to write out my accomplishments and notable events that happened in 2012. I am hoping this will help me come up with goals for 2013. If you use Foursquare, it’s a great way to see where you’ve been all year. January Ate brunch at Cafe Intermezzo on January 1. Recorded my first… Read more →
My BlogHer adventure started on Wednesday night with a Megabus ride that took me from Atlanta to New York. Technically it was 3 different busses, but still… I arrived in NY on Thursday morning and checked in to the Sheraton hotel room I would share with Danyelle with a Y aka The Cubicle Chick for the next few days. I… Read more →
On December 31, 2010 I rang in the new year watching an improv comedy show. I was in Philadelphia and I decided that I would do something I hadn’t done before. 1. Take a late night drive into the city (y’all know that’s supposed to be dangerous. I was living on the edge!) and 2. Attend a comedy show. That… Read more →
A few weeks ago I was on vacation and decided to take a day trip up to New York for the BlogWorld Expo. The conference itself lasted three days, but I only went up to see the exhibits and the keynote speakers. Anyway, I was at the conference down in the exhibit area typing up a tiny rant when a… Read more →
Once a month on every the third Wednesday, you can catch Elon James White and #TeamBlackness at 116 MacDougal St Blacking It Up live. This was my second journey up to NYC to catch the live show and I had a great time. I’m not going to go over all that was said and done, but a few things stood… Read more →
Ok, so this is essentially a photo essay of what I did during my most recent trip up to New York. Interestingly, I didn’t take a lot of photos like I normally would because I was “socializing”, but obviously there are enough to show what when down. I drove up to see Elon James White, the host of Blacking It… Read more →
Back on the highway headed toward Manhattan we took the exit that the phone suggested but it seemed to have missed a turn in its direction, and we ended up heading toward downtown rather than uptown. With only one more u-turn, we managed to make it to the proper 189th Street. Cruising a few blocks, I found what I felt… Read more →
Sunday morning…my alarm went off promptly at 5 a.m. as alarms will do when programmed thusly.(Nikki’s alarm went off. I, DanielleJ, do not require alarms) I, however, was up somewhere closer to 5:12 as girls who don’t go to bed until 1 will do. Half-naked stumbling to the living room ensured that the coffee maker was, in fact, making coffee…. Read more →
It was a kidnapping on a Sunday at 6 a.m. complete with a 40 ounce Thermos of coffee and mostly full tank of gas; two single girls then set out on what has to be dubbed the “madcap road trip.” Madcap: marked by capriciousness, recklessness, or foolishness And by kidnapping, allow me to explain; on the Friday previous to the… Read more →
