Social Butterfly

/ adam, friends, ronni

I feel popular!

Tomorrow, I’m supposed to be having brunch with an old college roommate. And meeting up with my ex-boyfriend and his wife. Oh, and hitting the Fair with Angelo for a few hours. Monday, hitting the Fair again with Chris, Aidan, and Craig. Late Monday, Adam comes into town and I’ll be with him the next three days (not long enough!!). Thursday evening, I’m going to see Harry Potter (again) with a co-worker. Busy busy busy!

I have to take lots and lots of pictures. :)

As usual, Sundays go way too quickly. It’s kind of annoying.

I decided to do the 101 in 1001. My list is here: 101 in 1001 || RonniStyle. My start date is tomorrow. I plan to keep most of my updates about it there, but I’ll probably talk about it here from time to time as well. I saw that lovely_lunai was doing it, and I think starlit12 is doing it as well. Good times.

Last weekend, Aidan and his dad went to Kentucky. Here are some pix from that trip:

…check it out…

An Early Publishing Credit

/ ronni, writing

I was eighteen, and I’d graduated from high school earlier that summer. Some of the Mousketeers from the All New Mickey Mouse Club came to Cleveland to promote their new album MMC (I have two copies, one of them still sealed!). I’d wanted to originally interview one of the ‘teers for the teen section of The Plain Dealer (called Next), but someone beat me and my best friend Charla to it. So, I got the next best thing. I got to review the record.

Disney sent me a press kit with photos, a press release, and a copy of the MMC CD. But I’d already had the CD—I’d won it in a contest for Teen Beat a few months prior (along with a water bottle and a signed poster. Now, mind you, after meeting them, I had tons of signed MMC stuff, so that just added to my collection.) So I was ready to review it.

This wasn’t my first publishing credit, but it was the first article I actually got paid money for. You can click the picture for a larger, more readable size. :)

I even have the little slip of paper that says how much I got paid, and what for. I had a lot of confidence in my writing back then. I hope I can get it back soon.

Food Cravings

/ food, ronni, Uncategorized

I keep having repeated, strong cravings for ice cream, Mexican food (good Mexican, not Chipotle or Taco Bell), green vegetables, and KFC. Not necessarily together. They kind of alternate. Like, right now, it’s ice cream. Chocolate with M&M mix-in from Cold Stone Creamery.

I wonder if it’s because July is National Ice Cream Month?

At any rate, I have loads of ice cream in my freezer, simply because I don’t eat it a whole lot, so I have plenty to indulge in. But I know that I can eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s Neopolitan Dynamite and STILL crave that chocolate with M&M mix-in from Cold Stone.

Last time I had these cravings, I found out I was expecting Aidan.

I know for sure nothing like that is the case now.

Still. WEIRD.
