To The Thawing WindCome with rain, O loud Southwester!Bring the singer, bring the nester; Give the buried flower a dream;Make the settled snowbank steam;Find the brown beneath the white;But whate'er you do tonight,Bathe my window, make it flow,Melt it as the ice will go; Melt the glass and leave the sticksLike a hermit's crucifix;Burst into...

Unfortunately, good work ethic doesn't come standard w/most humans. You have to learn it. And like most good habits, it usually comes at an early age. Mine comes from years as a papergirl. (that was a sweet video game, by the way).It wasn't as easy as it sounds. It required necessary resources to complete the... Continue Reading →
We are not very neighborly. No, not at all. We aren't intentionally uncordial, but we're also not overly friendly. True, we take a baggie with us when walking Tucker, but nothing else we do is too courteous. Well, I did give our next door neighbor her pick of hydrangeas, but only after she bitched about...

I get very annoyed w/Facebook, I have no idea why I still have an account. Let me tell you what annoys me the most. It's when women write their married name w/their maiden name thrown in there in the middle. Yeah, we get it, you were single at one point. We all were. Get over... Continue Reading →
So Jared called me today. He asked if this was Anh. I said, "yes." Somehow out of the name "Anh" I heard "Holly." Don't ask me. My ears are going bad, my eyes are going bad - it's all downhill after 25. He said, "hey, it's Jared." Me: "who?""Jared." "Jared who?"At this point, Jared sighed... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, when it came time to work out, I decided I would rather diet than sweat and slave away each evening on the treadmill. So today started day #1 of diet. Today I decided I would rather sweat and spend 4 hours a day on the treadmill than deprive myself of food I love. So... Continue Reading →
I addressed Christmas cards this evening until my index finger became indented. I insisted Steve mute the game so I could listen to Christmas songs (and I don't care what anyone says, Christina Aguilera counts). I lit a candle that smells like cider. I love these evenings. I've been writing Christmas cards since I was... Continue Reading →
I got home from eating two meals out today and decided I was going to hop on the treadmill. As always, I caught a little detour walking by the computer. I've decided instead I'm going to play a quick game of Caesar III. Who am I kidding, there is no such thing as a quick... Continue Reading →
Last night I bought this for Gracie. When I was a girl, I always wanted a barbie and my parents never allowed me to have one. Something about Barbie's body being too bangin'. They did give me a chubby and awkward looking Avon knockoff doll instead that was much too big - not nimble like... Continue Reading →
Day #2 of snow. I awoke quite early to the sound of my neighbor's snow blower. Again. This guy blows his driveway multiple times daily. I was cursing him until Steve and I went out there to shovel our driveway the old fashioned way. A minute into it, I was thinking of things I could... Continue Reading →
