Alternatively, Happy Charleston Bike Week! Since I drive by a Harley Davidson Dealership on my way to work, I got to see a parade this morning. Hooray! Who doesn’t love a bunch of motorcycles blocking a busy intersection on Friday morning at 8:55 am? They were even selling italian ice. It is getting pretty warm [...]

I will not tolerate useless internal organs.

(I should have written this a week ago in half as many words. I apologize.) The Saturday before Christmas, it poured down rain and really ruined my Christmas shopping plans. That night, I went out with some friends, enjoyed some choice libations, and ate some good food. I did not feel awesome on Sunday, which [...]

About a month ago it was discovered that statue in memory of my sister, Alice, had been stolen from the grounds of the Old Medical College in Augusta. Alice died from a genetic disorder four months before I was born. She was five years old and had been sick for over three years. My parent’s friends [...]

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

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

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, dogs, Thoughts 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 [...]
