I haven't bought a swimsuit since before becoming pregnant 6 years ago. I still have my tiny little string bikini that hugged my taut 135 pound frame. I don't know why. Did I really think I'd ever fit in it again? I've finally come to the realization that I won't. So after six years of... Continue Reading →
weekend update
5 random anecdotes from over the weekend:1. Our neighbors' 100+ lb dog came barreling into our house yesterday. Steve shooed him out right before Tucker had a heart attack.2. My stack of sweat pants in the closet were all soaked yesterday. So of course, I smelled them. They all smelled like piss. Human piss.3. It's... Continue Reading →
the awkward one
My mom and my sister look alike. They both have complexions with hues other than red. My sister and I used to look alike. People would ask if we were twins. Then she grew up and started to look like mom. Amber told me that I only look like mom when neither her or I... Continue Reading →
don’t say these currents are still killing me
Today it rained. All day. I love it when it rains. What I love more is going for a walk after the rain stops. Steve and I walked and caught up from our time apart. If you're married to someone you don't want to divorce, you want to tell them everything: even the most minute... Continue Reading →
SLC
Don't fret over me, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I'm just taking a much needed mini-break with my sister and my mom. I'll be back to complain about the person seated next to me on the airplane (yes, it will be my sister) and tell you about my new-found faith of... Continue Reading →
king-sized pain
I don't think it's natural for two humans to share a bed. Or even a room, for that matter. As a kid, I shared a room with my sister. My two brothers shared a room, as well. We would dream of the day we each got our own room. And eventually, it happened: dad hired... Continue Reading →

This is my sensory edition.Worst 4 smells:1. wet dog2. The Body Shop3. burnt popcorn4. dying flowersWorst 4 tastes (that I've tried so far): 1. corn bread2.... Continue Reading →
home ec
I started going to school in tenth grade. I know, I'm a late bloomer. As you all know, prior to that, I spent my childhood being homeschooled. My first semester in school, I received a 4.0. I found it to be extremely easy. My second semester, I signed up for home ec. "An easy 'A,'"... Continue Reading →
the burbs
When you walk as much as Steve and I do, you see some pretty strange sights around the old neighborhood. Even in a neighborhood which is seemingly uneventful to the naked eye.There is a woman who lives in the white house on the corner who I think is a witch. She walks around covered head-to-toe...

sahara
I have a problem with shaking hands and not wearing socks and thinking about carpet fibers. With wearing bright colors on a day when I have a presentation at work. My wardrobe, my mannerisms, my personability are all affected by a condition called hyperhidrosis. It means nothing other than I sweat. More than most. Damn... Continue Reading →
