and explaining…

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Okay.  That last post was vague.
I’m sort of grumpy from the whole lack of sleep last night… The kittens think it’s fun to run a muck through my tiny apartment the entire night.  I wasn’t sure if they were going to tear the curtains down or jump on my face or bring down my entire [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

or: Things I Am Thankful For 2008

1. Lil G
Most adorable niece ever.  Seriously.  She never ceases to amaze me, and is a pretty smart little girl.  I just want to spoil her, more so than she already is.  Plus, she gets bonus points for knowing all of the words to Rhianna’s “Umbrella” — as tired [...]

anti-pro-stupidity, or something of the sorts…

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

so. this could be interesting…
Mennogirl’s clued me in on some decent blogs before, as has my Megatron.  So I started, recently, reading dooce.  This isn’t a shameless plug for her, but I have found it to be somewhat entertaining to read.  But this could just be a phase (I used to read iCiNG, but now [...]
