Today, I took a half day off work, Steve took a full. So he took me out for a lunch/dinner of sorts. It was nearing 3pm, so when we walked up to the hostess stand, there was no one there and we could see that all of the tables were empty. Finally, the bartender came... Continue Reading →

There are days when I have nothing but words. I have a million things to say and I feel all of them are important. Then there are days like today, when I have nothing to say. The silence deafens me, and I no longer feel words hold any power. "Words are our weakest hold on... Continue Reading →
chores, communism, unfairness
I am always shocked when parents tell me their kids don't have chores. I just want to shout, "that's not fair!" like a five-year-old, even though I'm grown and should have grown out of "fairness." I haven't. I have yet to learn that life's not fair. I know it isn't, but I still haven't agreed... Continue Reading →
highlights, chins, oreos
After work, I went to get my highlights redone. It's been a little longer than usual (like a week over my usual three months between appointments), but the colorist kept saying I hadn't been in since September like it was a huge crime and I should be behind bars for letting my disgusting, natural, grayish/brownish/pukish...

CBS, reproduction, Gattaca
I am a CBS junkie. If I could only watch one show for the rest of my life, it would hands down be Big Brother. I could call myself an addict. Last year, when we had showtime 2, I would record Big Brother After Dark and fast forward through them sitting around in hopes of... Continue Reading →
ahoy
I have never been able to figure out what all the men in the navy do. I can figure out the army and air force, as they pretty much run their own villages and do things with guns and planes. But the navy? What on earth can a bunch of men be doing on a... Continue Reading →
overrated assets
Every woman who doesn't have large boobs wants them. Every woman who does have large boobs wishes they were smaller. I am a part of the latter group. I really don't see what all the fuss is about w/breasts, anyway. Must they be large? Does that make them better? Because really, either way, they're just... Continue Reading →
Spring Thaw
It's under a month until the official start of Spring. I have never been more ready for a season to end in my life. I really do love the change of seasons. I love how the year cycle emulates life. But this winter has been dragging on, reminding me only of the end of life,... Continue Reading →
sound the alarm
Yesterday, we got an alarm system installed. Now I feel like we should be rich. When I was a kid, no one had alarm systems. Most of us didn't even lock our doors. In fact, sometimes I would go down into our basement and some neighbor kid was standing there. We didn't have a fence... Continue Reading →
chicken legs
In elementary school, I fit the stereotype for homeschoolers. I was awkward looking with buck teeth and freckles, I wore hand-me-down and homemade (by my mom, not me, thankfully) clothes, and I could recite 132 Bible verses in four days at Neighborhood Bible Time. I'm sure I was mocked relentlessly behind my back. Luckily, there... Continue Reading →
