We haven’t had a good things post in a while, so I thought it was about time. Sadly, today I don’t have pictures to go with my good things. I just don’t have time to sit down and upload pictures, which feels pathetic, but is true. 1. To start off the post with no pictures, [...]
Saturday morning I woke up with no plan for the day. This turned into a morning spent on family history work. I’ve been working on my father’s side of the family and brought him some census records to see if we could figure out which of these people sharing our last name actually were related [...]
Tonight I made a paper chain, because I most nearly resemble a 5 year old. Perhaps I should hang it from the vaulted ceiling so I need a chair to reach the loops.
These days I’m haunted by a memory of being 18 and a parking lot and more tears than I knew were possible. It was summer in Virginia which brings the kind of heat you can see rising off the roads, where moving around seems like something you’ll get to eventually – just not right then. [...]
One year ago today I met some missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You already know all about how my life has changed since then. Today I got to celebrate this “anniversary” by going to church in New York City with the missionary who baptized me. I also got to see [...]
Yesterday we took down the Christmas tree. This is probably the most thankless task…anyway. It’s the first year my parents have ever dealt with a fake pre-lit tree. My mother, bless her heart, went ahead and just unplugged all the cords all willy-nilly without any rhyme or reason. If you’ve never had a pre-lit tree [...]
I just realized that my pre-scheduled posts have been all kinds of messed up lately. So if you’re seeing multiples of posts, I’m sorry. No idea what’s going on there, but I hope it will fix itself seeing as how I have literally no idea what the problem could be. While driving to work yesterday [...]
Tonight for the first time in months I had a complete and total breakdown. Mostly I blame the hormones. My former roommate just moved away, and another friend of mine is moving soon and the closer it gets to her moving day the more I think about the fact that I still don’t want to [...]
Well, I’ve officially graduated from SDU – Scrapbook Design University. I spent 3 hours of my Saturday in the local scrapbooking store with the Empress Dowager learning all of the “basics” of scrapbooking. By the end of the class we both agreed it was a waste. What I should have done instead was to sit [...]
I’ve been waiting for three books from the library for about a month now. I just checked to see if my holds were still in place and they are. I am 7, 71, and 147 in line for these books. By the time I get that last one in I’m going to have forgotten why [...]
