Summer is here, there is no doubt about it. The familair sounds of locusts and crickets are the music we listen to while enjoying a relaxing evening on the patio. The flames of the Tiki torches dance in the humid night air, and the damn June bugs smack into the windows over and over again. Stupid crunchy little bastards. Anyway- due to the intense ( Read more... )

Who would have thought a 22 hour drive across the mighty Midwest would be so eventful? We took off bright and early Saturday morning, our eventual goal was Tucson, AZ. The drive started off as most typical Nebraska drives do: miles and miles of newly planted cornfields. It was all so nice and peaceful, so early in the morning. Once we hit Kansas ( Read more... )

I am heading out to Arizona- via car! It's a 22 hour drive, across barren wastelands of TX and New Mexico, but I'll be lodged in the car with my Mom and Dad, and their new dog, Sketch. Sketch is a rescue dog that we have been fostering, and for some insane reason, my folks decided to adopt him. They are 65 year old retired (yet very active) folks, ( Read more... )

Spring is still holding on nicely here in Omaha. Huge, puffy clouds have been floating across the blue skies, and the birds never stop chirping. It's such a lovely time right now, I can't help but feel utterly happy and full of love for everything. As cheesy as that sounds, it's true. Spring always draws it out in me…. I just suddenly feel ( Read more... )

Ahhhh yes. The great New York Adventure! I won't be able to convey all the fun we had in a simple blog entry, but I will attempt to fill you in on the highlights, at least ( Read more... )

I am so excited to be able to walk barefoot in the grass. My feet have missed the sweet touch of lush, green grass. Once again, my feet must toughen up to withstand the endless barefoot games of summer. If my feet are calloused and stained green, then it has been a good day.

YES! My credit card company called and said I would be getting a refund on the tickets! Schweeet! I did a little happy dance at work. Oddly enough.... I also recevied a call from someone representing TicketsMyWay.com and he started out by saying ..."I've got some bad news..." I pretty much stopped him in his tracks, politely told him I already knew ( Read more... )

Wow. Only the 2nd time in my life I've been taken for a fool. It sucks ass ( Read more... )

Much has happened since I last posted. My grandfather passed away, and my sister and I made the trek to Florida for the funeral. It was in a remote area called Shady Grove. Moss hanging from trees, swampland, gators, and most of all…. Little roadside stands that sold veggies and boiled peanuts. We ate our weight in boiled peanuts: something we ( Read more... )
