Listen, just last week I was bragging on you, how awesome the month of October is, and all the wonderfulness that goes along with Fall. But ever since, you’ve been sort of acting out. First you got really hot. Like, wow. My car said 101 in the sun one day last week. I think it [...]

Excuse me, Fall? I think you need an attitude adjustment.

Happy October!
Posted in Athens, Augusta, Football, outside on October 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As most of you know, October is the best month of the year because it is the month I was born. No really, it has to do with football. Or maybe it’s the weather. Or the leaves and the candy corn and the pumpkins (and the pumpkin candy corns) and the smells! October smells like boiled peanuts, [...]
The road to hell

I had great intentions of having lots of interesting and funny things to say tonight, but then I got really distracted by this blog – Strange Maps. I love maps. That, coupled with the fact that my laptop is on his last leg and the keyboard only works when tilted a little forward, has sort [...]
Adventures in Babysitting

I have been dog sitting for my parents for the past week. Bo and Bella are kind of ridiculous dogs, but I love them and they have been trying to be cooperative, but mother nature has been making this very difficult. I went to sleep early on Monday night, and Briscoe was upstairs with me. [...]
Happy First Day of School!

The Academy These pictures are of my beloved high school, from the front page of the Augusta Chronicle this morning. As you can see, I went to the Academy of Richmond County. My brother and I are 4th generation Musketeers, as is my cousin if I think about it. This year marks the 225 anniversary of [...]

So I’ve told y’all about Donald, my handy-man. He has single handedly remodeled my house for me. Donald was installing some light fixtures for me the other day, and he was telling me about how he had to go home and baby sit his aunt. Apparently she’s real old and doesn’t know what is going [...]
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I like to sit on my front porch after work with a beer and watch people. Our street gets a surprising amount of foot traffic. Briscoe thinks this is awesome. I really like my neighborhood, even if we have a vague suspicion that one neighbor is a drug dealer. They get a lot of visitors who [...]
Cool July Nights

This has been a very interesting week. In some ways, I have finally been able to settle back down into a schedule and get my life together. There is still a lot of stuff that needs to be done at my house, but my second roommate Erin is moving in this weekend, and this is [...]
Weeds and Wishes

There is a tremendous weed growing out of a storm gutter on the street I drive down every morning. I’ve been watching it grow for about a month now, and it’s about 5* feet tall at this point. Every time we get a good soaking rain, I can almost see it growing. Part of me has [...]
The State Bird of South Carolina –

Is the Palmetto Bug. A.K.A. The Flying Roach. I can deal with a whole lot of things, and flying roaches are not on that list. They make me die a little inside every time one gets close to me. Which is unfortunate, since I come in close contact with them on a regular basis these [...]
