Shaq Attack


Yesterday, I was so ready to leave work. It had been a really long day, I had a call from a client that pretty much turned my life upside down and will provide a very stressful next two weeks. Really wish I could share, but because of the whole hotel confidentiality VIP guest thing, I cannot. (Check out the blog in about 2 weeks, then I will be able to talk.)

Anyway, I walk out of my office and into the hotel lobby and there stands Shaquille O'Neal! I probably would not have recognized him, but he's a good two feet taller than I am. It was hard to miss. Apparently, Birmingham's own Charles Barkley is having a celebrity golf charity event and Shaq was in to help support it. Crazy!
p.s. Does anyone think there is entirely too much denim in this picture?

Bring 'er back...


4 years, 9 residences, 1 car, 24 roommates, and 3,000 miles later, I'm back in Birmingham. With all this new change, I am going to make a valiant effort to bring back the old blog.


A little update on how I'm back here....Last April, I started considering buying a house out in Vail, well little did I know the cheapest 1 bedroom apartment in the slums of Avon was $419,000. When I realized that the majority of my friends (with the exception of Lauren and Marissa) had moved and/or were thinking about moving, I decided that it was time to look for another job and another place to live. I didn't have too much drawing me to any one particular place, so I decided to look at moving somewhere down south. The first job I saw was in Birmingham a a local hotel. I applied, interviewed, and now I'm back in the Salty, doing primarily corporate meeting planning. That's where life has brought me back thus far. So far, so good, I can't complain. I'll keep you updated.
