50,000 Silver Dollars

So while I was driving through Lolo Pass to Montana (the Idaho-Montana border is somewhere in the pass) , when I wasn’t watching the (very icy) road and checking my brakes, I was scanning the side of the road for the sign declaring, “You are now entering Montana!”  Sadly, I never saw such a sign.

Winter Wonderland

Here are some pictures from my drive to Montana! Remember that I hadn’t seen snow in almost two years prior to this! Ha – [Disclaimer: To take these pictures, I had set the camera on the dashboard and clicked the shutter remotely - less work than changing the CD in the CD player! Since I [...]

Halfway

I’m writing this post from my hotel from in Spokane, Washington – the halfway point between Olympia and Helena. Although the drive is only 11 hours (only…), because this is winter, I thought it would be safer to break it up into two days, just in case either of the mountain passes were particularly hairy.

Brunch, Miami-Style

This past Sunday, my friend Yael and her husband Marcus hosted a brunch for a bunch of us from work, and several of the guys in Marcus’s program (he’s a doctoral student).  Honestly, I had a really tough time deciding what to wear – when I think of brunch, I think of sundresses! and flowers! [...]

No-Mess Grilled Cheese

Last night, I went with my friend Sam to a networking event for her business law society. Everyone else was either an attorney or a law student, so I spent a lot of time saying, “No, I’m not a law student….No, I’m definitely not a lawyer. I work for a non-profit.” (To which one guy [...]

Disney World!

After lunch (I’m eating lunch at work right now) my friend Natalie and I are heading up to Disney World for the weekend! I have never been to Disney World, and I wanted to make sure I went at some point while I was living in Florida. (Because of the proximity, but also because when [...]

Common Threads

One of the fun parts about working for a non-profit is that the non-profit community is very close-knit. Everyone knows everyone, and, for the most part, supports each other. About a month ago, I had the opportunity to tag along with a friend of mine to visit a non-profit that she supports – so I [...]

Scenes From South Beach

I have talked a lot about South Beach’s South Point Park in the past; it’s by far my favorite park in Miami. A few weeks ago, I was there with my camera and snapped a couple of shots that really illustrate just why, exactly, I love South Beach so much! Perfect relaxing scenes for a [...]

Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run 2010

Last weekend (or was it two weekends now? I can’t remember) my office participated in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run. [Note: when I saw this car, I felt a need to take one of these photographs of it. Every photographer needs that nose-of-the-car photograph in their repertoire, right? ;) ] The Corporate Run is the [...]
