I consider myself independent. My entire childhood and adolescence was spent around the same people and as a result, I was forced to remain the same person. So when college time came around, I decided to attend one in another state. My mother told me, "this is your chance to start fresh and turn into... Continue Reading →
free and frolicking
Yesterday, I went for a run. I went for a run that was meant to be leisurely, but when my iPod died two miles in, the last seven miles weren't as leisurely. But my misfortune did force me to be more attentive to everything around me. I saw leaves that should have been raked up... Continue Reading →
wings, pits, epilepsy
Tonight, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for what used to be 25¢ wings. It wasn't that long ago: I was in college. Well, this shows you how out of control inflation has become: wings now cost 45¢ each. As a special price on Tuesday nights only. I am becoming that old woman who says... Continue Reading →
stilettos, lent, restricting sizes
I was making copies at work the other day. I work in a very large facility full of all types of people. On this particular day, a woman came up to me and asked if I could hitch up my pants so she could further admire my shoes. So I obliged (and after that, I... Continue Reading →
pool table
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 →
sixty degrees and sunny
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 →
bathwater, apricot jam, zippy
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 →
AIM messaging, saturn, mom’s bouquet
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 →
night out
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 →
booth, pants, movie noises
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 →
