I intentionally gave myself a connecting in LaGuardia so I could check out the Centurion Lounge over in Terminal B. My flight was landing in Terminal C, so I had to go to a different building to get to the lounge.  I had to leave security to do this, but …

The first time I found this out, I was so surprised that I assumed it had to have been a temporary thing–but I was wrong. When I was in college, I’d visit my boyfriend who went to college in Boston (I chose Philly).  And we racked up a lot of …

Nope, I’m not pregnant. One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to try all the different cuisines and cocktails at my destination. And take photos of everything, of course. Mmmm…. But I’ve been dealing with some autoimmune issues lately.  In my last appointment with my doctor, he …

A good friend sent me a tweet of a girl wearing a Space Invaders dress.  I had to have. Luckily, Googling it got me to the website and I got one.  Two days later, the dress was sold out in my size–permanently.   I was happy I got the dress …

The Lollipop Update 5.1.1 When the Android Lollipop update came out, it was difficult to tell what good it accomplished. It caused problems connecting to the internet, battery issues, lagging, and video playback issues. It also released some “features” that users are unhappy about.  I’ll get back to that in a …

As a member of Team Pluto, I’m eagerly awaiting the completion of NASA’s mission to Mars.  Many believe that this could be deterministic in whether or not Pluto is restored as a planet. (There are some memes out there declaring that Pluto was given planetary status again–it is being discussed …
