http://danielledrapeau.com Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 26 May 2009 16:22:52 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just checked out Becke and Alex's blog www.highdeserthomegarden.blogspot.com after their first time at the farmer's market. Insanely jealous. Even if I could grow anything in this apartment the cat would destroy it... stupid CJ. AND, I can't even eat what they're growing! Or drink what Alex is brewing! They are ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2009/05/26/cabin-fever-post-20/ I wonder if, since everyone seems to agree with me, I'm actually going to lose my mind over the course of this next week. And to think, the doctor told me to stay home for TWO weeks. It has been 36 hours since injuring my poor ol' foot and I ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2009/05/23/auntie-d-is-down/ Over a year here and put through more forced people watching on public transport than I thought possible and everyone has been so lifeless. Cold, expressionless, story-less, normal, boring.  And here I am on a bench.  No destination, no purpose, nothing really to do at all on a chilly spring ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2009/03/24/i-forgot-how-to-people-watch/ Officially ON VACATION. http://danielledrapeau.com/2009/02/23/the-ultimate-grocer/ Well, it has been a while, hasn't it? I'm going to try to remember how to type in this little box. Luckily, I don't have to remember how to do it with skill because I hadn't quite mastered that yet. BUT, here we go! Washington, DC is insanity, obviously. I have today ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2009/01/19/whats-a-blog/ A renewed faith in America... Pretty excited to be a part of this. http://danielledrapeau.com/2008/11/06/yay-america/ Just got a superb winter hat in the mail from Becke in Santa Fe (http://www.highdeserthomegarden.blogspot.com). Will post a picture of it soon - but it's perfect. In return she wants either a carved wooden owl or a short story about dinosaurs. I plan on combining the two. Upon seeing the ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2008/10/23/a-little-note-from-thursday/ The visit and inventory have concluded and now it seems to be quite a bit calmer at work. And I think it will stay this way for at least another few weeks until the holiday insanity begins. Work is going well. I finally think I am going entire shifts without ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2008/10/03/finally-october/ How about taking a vacation three weeks into my new position? Yeah, I'd do it again too. Back to real life! Back to traffic and concrete and the echoing sound of cutthroat hustle. I will honestly say that if my Captain asked if I was interested in opening that new ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2008/09/15/back-to-aaaarlington/ A few realizations from Virginia Beach: 1: I have an irrational belief that the ocean really likes me back 2: I have decided I must live near the ocean pretty much immediately 3: I still much prefer vacation to everyday life 4: Salt water + Sun + Danielle = flawless hair 5: Old men shouldn't ... http://danielledrapeau.com/2008/09/11/a-note-from-the-sandcastle-hotel/
