Yesterday, two men arrived to piece together our pool table. Apparently a pool table is nothing like buying a couch: it doesn't arrive already put together and able to be put anywhere you'd like it. Silly me for thinking it would. My presence was requested to see exactly the location the professionals had deemed the... Continue Reading →
First day of Spring in OmahaFirst day of Spring: here comes life. P.S. Does anyone know what kind of flowers these buds will turn out to be?
I smiled today when I read about Ree's blog being turned into a movie. Not that I read Pioneer Woman anyway (I probably would if the title wasn't "Pioneer Woman"), but because a blog is being turned into a movie. It shows you that blogs aren't always just boring shit about meaningless lives. I mean,... Continue Reading →
Today is sixty degrees and sunny. Sixty degrees. Sunny. I was beginning to think I would never see days like this again. Everyone I interviewed today was fantastic. Not a one of them made me grit my teeth or yawn with my mouth closed whilst they spoke. They provided lunch for us at our meeting.... Continue Reading →
I have absolutely terrible taste in humor. My parents would be ashamed. I once accidentally let it slip that I thought "Joe Dirt" was hilarious. My parents proceeded to rent it for family movie night being that their very esteemed daughter recommended it. Since, I have spent the past eight years being told what a... Continue Reading →
These six mile runs exhaust meSo for lent, Steve limited his booze intake and amped up his work outs. The booze part didn't last, but he's been going strong on his workouts and has subsequently dropped a few LBs. Steve is pretty lean to begin w/, so the fact that he's losing weight made me...

I come from a very frugal family. A result of being poor cheap was some pretty disgusting habits. Then, I was blissfully ignorant. It was all I knew. But now, I look back at the times we would scrape mold off the top of leftovers before reheating and think of how filthy that really was.Or... Continue Reading →
I have never told you of mine and Steve's first date. Well, let me. It's very awkward - as were we. The first time I saw Steve was at Buffalo Wild Wings: my friends and I saw some guys from our college and went and said "hello." Steve was there, too, which was odd, because... Continue Reading →
I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I haven't laughed off the stupidity of the idea yet, so I think this idea is going to translate into actual ink on my body. One day - when I forget that tattoos mean enduring needles and sleazy motorcycle dudes w/intentionally... Continue Reading →
Last night, Steve took me out for a date night. I don't mean for pizza and then buying some used DVDs at Blockbuster, I mean we really went out on the town. He took me downtown to the Orpheum Theatre to see Norah Jones' concert. If a date entails paying for parking, to me, that's... Continue Reading →
