the new blr

We have switched nameservers, so hopefully the next time you log onto www.bluelollipoproad.com you will see the new site! I appreciate everyone being patient these past couple months. There will be a few little kinks as we get rolling this first week, but lots of fun news and many surprises to come…I am thrilled!

Best of all I have so much more capability with the new site so if there is something you’d like to see, put in a request. The sky is the limit from here.

Here’s to new beginnings and the best spring ever!

ttaa (things that are awesome)

Train rides to work. Whirly Ball. Midnight dinners with old friends. Sunny and 80 degree Sunday afternoons. Morning runs in new neighborhoods. Perogies. Walks along a river. Being able to walk to a Mom and Pop bakery. Surprise emails from people you don’t know. Finding video from old vacations with your little brother. Fresca.

Anyone want to add some TTAA?

i love notes like this from people who see me on the road:

Had to say hi. My family and I saw your car Friday night, Apr 8th heading west on 80/90. Are you doing the trip again?

Best wishes, Sue

I hope you got my return email Sue. Thanks for the note!

drumroll please!

So yes, I have been a bit absent because of packing, traveling, working and all that business, but we’ve also been taking time from the BLR site here, to start posting on the new BLR site which we hope to launch by 4/15. This is the official transition period! I know it’s been a long time coming, so thanks for being patient and stay tuned…

i just got a sneak peak…

…at the nearly finished brand spanking new BLR site. Then did cartwheels through the house.

Ooh I am excited! We only have a little way to go, then watch out world!

My friend Bobby RULES!

HOLY CRAP! GO VCU RAMS!

I have to give some love to my small home city base of 13 years, Richmond, Virginia: How about those VCU Rams?! The streets are screaming right now. Awesome, just awesome.

Everybody loves and underdog.

Final Four baby!

for those of you who’ve asked…

…about when the new BLR site will be done. Update!

More work is being done as we speak. My fabulous design and programming pal is cranking this weekend. Good things come to those who wait, so I appreciate this friend doing all he is for me therefore I’m going to be the last person to rush him. Thanks for being patient and I am glad you are all as excited to experience the next phase of BLR as I am!

In other news, there is a…well, we will call it a “trip” in the works, that I will be able to tell you more about in 2 weeks. Yessssssssssss.

Full crashed wedding post from last weekend will be here before you get back to your desk on Monday morning along with a post about my incredible Barboursville wine dinner at the Berkely Hotel last night. I am a feasting machine. Isn’t that what it’s all supposed to be about? (Smiling…)

vino work- tough life

I got an invite to go crash another event tonight unexpectedly. Yay! I get to write about more yummy food and wine!

Did you know it’s Virginia Wine Week?

Between getting back from a long weekend in Philly and NYC, completing 2 proposals for some fun upcoming projects, the event tonight, and working the next 3 days at a big ol’ film festival, my blog time has been limited this week. (You know that is a total bummer for me, but all worth it in the long run. All part of the big picture.) Sleep? Who needs it. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. So many people to meet, things to do, delectable treats to try, and adventures to find, so little time…

new blushing bride ginny, if you are reading this…

…I’m sorry for the delayed wedding post! I can’t wait to share here about what an amazing time I had on your special day. I’ve had some good surprises and work pop up this week, so I am one busy woman. I had such a blast that I don’t want to miss any details, so I will work on the doozy of a good time story this weekend when I have some more time.

Thank you again for having me and making me feel like part of your crew of wonderful friends. It really was a weekend to be remembered.

I hope your first few days of wedded bliss have been everything you ever dreamed of!

what’s that saying again…timing is everything?

The past 5 days have been a whirlwind of unexpected fun and opportunity.

Enough said for now. Oh yeah- that and WAHOO! I swear when you stop trying so hard things just happen.
