small regrets.

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

I try not to let myself have too many regrets.  If I have control over a situation, then I need to take ownership of my actions and my choices.
Now, I’m not going to make this a deep post, and I’ll probably steal that intro and actually do a post on the subject…. but nonetheless, I [...]

Oh! A List!

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Here are some things going on right now:

As mentioned in the previous post, I went to the Gals Guide Summit.  It was really good!  Very fun and informative.  Well organized, and some great swag! Seriously, free Dove deodorant? um, yes.  Also: pizza, chocolates, cookies, cupcakes, and vitamin water!  Plus a lot more.  Jenn’s review (in [...]

what is one day? (I don’t want tomorrow to happen.)

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I can’t do it…. I thought I’d be okay, but I can’t do it.
I’m about two steps from loosing it completely…
I just don’t want to acknowledge tomorrow.  I want to hide under the covers, knock myself out with whatever I can, and just wait until October 6th — because surely everything will be better the [...]

yes, my mom’s on facebook.

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

My mom joined facebook earlier this year…  I didn’t really understand why she did, but whatever… (Apparently some of her church friends are on it.)
Mostly, there hasn’t been issues.  It’s just another place for my mom and I to express our combined dorkiness.  Yes, I do sort of have to watch my status updates a [...]

I should be stressed.

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

It recently came to my attention (by myself) that I should be stressed.  Or more stressed than I am.  I mean, I have my days… but overall, I almost feel like a hippie with all this carefree-ness floating around.

I’ve been unemployed for about a month and half now
I didn’t get the writing job in Madison, [...]

i’m not dead…

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

… I’m just in Indiana…
I’ve been here visiting family, and a friend… it’s been good.  However.  I miss Chicago.  I miss the kittens.  I miss walking places.  I even miss getting my ass handed to me by Rachel in Mario Kart — though, I’ve heard rumors that Jenn’s someone to watch out for…
Lovely’s been wonderful [...]

unexpected: surprise marriage

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

No.  No worries.  I didn’t up and get married in my minor absence from the interblags.  However, my being single, um.. well… you’re still going to have to wait for more on that.
Last night I got a text message from my brother… I didn’t think much of it.  Timmy generally texts me at random times [...]

Broken Noses and Close Calls: An Ode to my Brother…

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

That, my friends, is someone who definitely makes my list of all-time favorite people.  And today, he turns 27.
It is my job as a little sister to idolize my older brother… and well, I met that criteria from birth.  I was always trailing behind him, wherever Timmy went, I wanted to go to.  And while [...]

getting schooled at home

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Things that I have learned or relearned/remembered, either about myself or just in general, while spending this week at my father’s…

only packing laundry leaves for an interesting selection of clothes; in my case, just a handful of tshirts and jeans, only one nice top, and a whole lot of socks and underwear.
sleeping in the schoolroom [...]

musings on my (internet) dating life.

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Ok.  Well.  I sort of feel the desire to say that, in reference to my previous post (see here: iCrush), that I am not “very much in love” with anyone.  I am infatuated, curious, and ensnared by their display of online attractiveness.  I just happen to like the word “smitten”… (and for that matter “smite” [...]
