Our Apple Creek apartment is now merely stacks of boxes. It's the end of an era. I've lived in these apartments all of my non-student Omaha life. This is where I lived when I was proposed to and got married, got my first (and second) dog, and first lived on my own. To pay homage... Continue Reading →

Every episode of Californication season #2 is now available On Demand. I've been waiting for this for months now. I'm not stating this to suggest you watch the show, because it's definitely not a Seinfeld-type show and I wouldn't want to taint anyone and be responsible for it, I'm only stating this for the paragraph...

Dessert last night was a Dairy Queen blizzard, so I decided I was fine to go in my sluttily short pajama shorts and white tank top - both opposite patterns. This is not something I would ever wear outside the confines of my own home, but since Dairy Queen is only a quarter of a... Continue Reading →

Last night, I was taking one of those baths that end up being converted to a shower in order to shampoo and condition the hair. I know most people hate the feeling of standing in the shower while there is still bath water in it, but I found myself rather enjoying it. I realized, while... Continue Reading →

Steve and I are homeowners! After a lot of judging homes online, we narrowed down to our favorite houses and spent a few hours yesterday making fun of horrible decorations and judging yard sizes. Just when we thought we would never find a house that would fit all of our specifications, we found "the house."... Continue Reading →
