Written on May 22, 2013
in Around Indy

I’m relatively new to Fishers, I just moved here in 2008. When choosing where to buy our home, it was merely a matter of convenience. It was right off the highway, and at the time I worked downtown and my husband worked in neighboring suburb Carmel. Plus, Fishers is cheaper than Carmel.
Too busy to function.

Retirement. It’s something we don’t talk about in derby. We all think we’re going to play forever. But we’re not, we’ll all have to retire at some point. It’s the elephant in the locker room. But people change. Careers change. Injuries happen. You may get to retire on your own terms. You
Princesses won’t destroy the world. I promise.

I try to ignore most articles shared and posted in social media. People tend to comment without reading more than the title, use incorrect grammar, and generally make me want to run my head through the wall. Occasionally, however, I will come across something which sparks my interest or has been shared

Google I/O was yesterday, and I just couldn’t get excited about it. I’m not sure if my technolust is fading, or if we’ve reached the point where we’re just not making the strides we used to. I remember a few years ago I’d be glued to the live blog of any Apple or Google announcement. Tweeting

I had been looking forward attending the Star Trek Into Darkness midnight premier. I happened to have the following Friday off for another reason, so no exhausted next day at work for me.

Pure Geekery Giveaway: TMNT Piñata

Lets be honest- at this point, dear readers, you can probably figure out that I was a pretty weird kid. I spent my childhood dressed as Dorothy refusing to answer to my own name, practicing my Lando cape swirling and of course playing with my dolls. As an avid Teenage Mutant Ninja

Tumblr is something different for everyone, but to me it’s a mental break. It’s pictures. Its where I see things that make me giggle, and share them with everyone else. Basically, it’s just fun. It’s also a bit overwhelming to know where to start. Here are my favorites to get you started, or

In the middle of school/work insanity, I always long for the simplicity of summer- lazy days of swimming, watching tv, and playing with the geekling. In practice, however, I get bored without something to work towards- a goal or deadline that keeps me busy on lazy summer afternoons and is key to
