The best thing about a Monday holiday is that on Thursday you think it is Wednesday and Friday is here before you know it. I got home on Monday from a six day long trip to Chicago for work then to Charleston for pleasure. It was pouring down rain and I was so happy because [...]

Novel Ways to Feel Like You’ve Been Beat Up
Posted in Difficulties, Working Out on February 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Y’all, I am so sore. Sore like wow. This is the seventh day in a row I’ve been sore. And I haven’t been working out at all. Which is probably why I’m so sore. If I worked out more on a regular basis, I probably wouldn’t be so freaking sore. Last week I met Libby [...]
Down Like the Economy

I have been attacked by some unwelcome germ. I think the worst is over, but I did not feel awesome last night. Briscoe could tell I didn’t feel well and felt the need to lay as close as possible, which although sweet, often involved her pushing my off the bed. I was hoping she wasn’t [...]
Adventures in Babysitting
Posted in Augusta, Difficulties, dogs, outside, ridiculousness on September 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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. [...]
Why I am not quite ready for kids
Posted in Difficulties, Thoughts, dogs on August 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I obviously have some authority issues. As a child, adults didn’t really love me. Part of this was that I was the most hyperactive child in America (so no one ever let me baby sit growing up), and I thought a lot. One time when I was 4 I told my mom we needed to [...]
You’re So Vain

So back to my grotesque self inflicted injury. My entire eyeball is now blood red. I would post pictures, but it is so gross, that I cannot subject y’all to that. I’ve been sending Libby a picture text every day of the progression, because, well, she cares more than any normal person should about my [...]
The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of

The cicadas are in full force. Mama told me last night that the cry of the cicada scares the roaches. We’ve had a lot of rain recently. And guess what? A roach got into my room last night. A FLYING roach. Honestly, I’m not sure I can type the following words. He landed on my [...]
Weeds and Wishes
Posted in Augusta, Difficulties, outside on July 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Find out who your friends are

Sorry I’ve been sort of non posting. I wish I could say that my mind is blank, but that’s just not true. I’ve just been too lazy to commit anything to print. But I want to tell y’all that Peter and JBlanchard are the best friends ever. Saturday, on the 4th of July, Emily and [...]
My camoflague socks –

are really good at hiding. I dropped one on the rug the other day while doing laundry and didn’t find it for three days. The dogs didn’t even find it. Whoever invented camo is a genius!
