On Saturday, pre-glass-slinging, my recently-engaged sister and I went shopping for wedding dresses part II. We drove to some fancy place in Lincoln where they told her they don't make appointments, just come on in. We got there and had to take off our shoes. Strike one for me. I hate being brought down to... Continue Reading →
Two years ago, my sister and I had the perfect day: we got Starbucks and Winchell's for breakfast, then drove to Kansas City. We went to this giant outdoor mall complete with a Banana Republic and Gap outlet. We found clothes for each other and went over the allowed items limit in the dressing rooms.... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, I had pen pals. Loads of them: camp counselors, kids from church that I saw weekly anyway, aunts and uncles, strangers from chain letters. If I knew their address, I wrote them letters on the personalized Looney Tunes stationery I spent my birthday money on. I ran to the mailbox... Continue Reading →
I got a Banana Republic credit card the other day. I love Banana Republic. And Gap. Besides those two places, I only buy clothes online and occasionally at JCPenney (I know it's for old women, but I park there so while walking through the store I stop and buy something). Steve told me I could... Continue Reading →
What do you think, should we switch lawn care services?This is today's aerating job gone south (well, actually north).In addition to hating Heartland Lawns, I hate how it gets dark so early. This picture was taken before I had even eaten dinner. I guess it's time to hop back on the treadmill after logging 500... Continue Reading →
My friend Tracey forwarded this email to me and it is too good not to post on my blog. We may not have the same political or religious beliefs, but as long as you have a sense of humor you should enjoy this. Quit being so uptight and politically correct and let go a little.If... Continue Reading →
There is one place I hate more than any other. A trip here destroys my good mood for the rest of the day week month year. If there was a such thing as "hell on earth," it would be Wal*Mart. It doesn't matter which Wal*Mart you go to in what part of the world: they... Continue Reading →
I'm a phase girl. I go through phases of liking things. Here are some of my favorite things from the last couple weeks:Colored mats. I've loved them since I saw Doug and Carrie's green mat on King of Queens.Autumn decorations. Yes, I plan to be that mom with a Rubbermaid container for every holiday.I'm going... Continue Reading →
Since you read my blog, you already know I'm a nerdy homebody whose idea of a party is a bottle of wine and a board game. So you probably won't believe that I'm on omahanightlife.com. Well I am. Apparently being at an outdoor concert on a school night qualifies me as a party animal.What is... Continue Reading →
My friend Melinda had a baby today (and Matt - he's my friend too. It's easy to forget about the dads in these situations since they're off buying root beer floats and don't get any of the pregnancy attention) . Little Asher was born this afternoon. I'm hoping to go to the hospital tomorrow at... Continue Reading →
