That's right. I can admit it. In the 9 months I have been working here, I have managed to kill 3 plants. My lovely african violets, my beloved Columbine, and now a rose plant. I killed that one in less than 2 weeks. I blame it on the 4th of July weekend. It was toast after the long weekend. I think I will invest in a plastic plant. Maybe I ( Read more... )

So I really want a new car. Dad's been saying that I will need a new one come wintertime. So why not now? I looked online and "built" my car. I am thinking about a 2006 Cobalt. 5 speed. Sunroof. Most of the toys. We will see. I would love to get a Grand Am, but they stopped making them in 2005. So, unless I can find a 2005 for a good ( Read more... )

I was reading CM Life this afternoon, and was flooded with memories of summer on campus. Walking through campus with the sun shining, smelling fresh cut grass, very few people on the paths. I only stayed one summer, and only took one summer session of classes, but it was super. Beth, Greg, and Mitch would stop by my apartment, honk the horn, and ( Read more... )

I realize that most of my posts are boring and full of details that noone really cares about. Since noone really reads this anymore, it's become a way for me to write about my "adventures" since I don't have much time for a real journal. Real pen and paper just takes too much time. So, sorry if you are on my buddy list and actually get these. ( Read more... )

I love rainy days. The sound of the rain hitting the roof, walking through puddles, toting fun umbrellas, getting caught in the sudden downpour without an umbrella. Curling up in the window with a good book and a blanket, or taking it to my front porch to watch the storm pass. A little while ago it was pitch black outside, the clouds were so ( Read more... )

So we've had this cricket living in the warehouse here at work for a couple of weeks now. Annoying to listen to constantly chirping as I sat on my lunch break trying to watch Judging Amy. This morning, or sometime over the weekend, this very vocal critter decided to move into the kitchen. So now it echos in that room, down the hall and through ( Read more... )

But, alas, it's FRIDAY! Woo hoo! Yes, it was super to have yesterday off and kick it with Greg and actually get to see the fam, it sucked waking up at 6:30 this morning and saying goodbye, but there is some good. All day yesterday I kept thinking it was Sunday. I knew I had to come to work this morning. No big deal. I was about ready to dress ( Read more... )

Did you know that peanut butter makes people grow taller? I learned that while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's this weekend. It was quite funny. Then we decided that mashed potatoes work even better than PB. There should be some experiments conducted on this theory ( Read more... )

So we were tourists. Lansing, MI opened it's doors, and we explored. It all began Friday night with a truck and a traffic jam. My dad was working on my car, so I had his truck for the weekend. Driving out to Lansing is a easy drive, but then traffic stops. I was going approx 3mph for quite a while. About 30 minutes later, I had moved almost 3 ( Read more... )

I have no motivation today. I slept well, but due to this lack of activity around the office, I am ready to crash. And I have a headache. And a million things running through my head. It's been one of those weeks. It was an incredible weekend, and then I had to come back to this. Needless to say, I haven't been the best of roommates this week ( Read more... )
