I was surprised to learn recently that Susan and I have been living in this apartment for a full year now. It totally doesn't seem like that long. I learned this because our internet stopped working, which seems unrelated, but isn't. Anyway long story short, we have internet again! Here's what's happened since I last posted ( Read more... )

I'm tired but Susan has a stuffy nose, so she is snoring more than usual and can't (or won't, anyway) wear the mask that makes her stop snoring (it's actually for sleep apnea) and so I am relegated to sleep on couch cushions on the floor in the back room for the third night in a row. And as I am not looking forward to that, I am instead posting on ( Read more... )

Have you noticed how when you use google, inevitably a side ad will pop up from ebay telling you that you can find whatever you are looking for there?

No, seriously. You need to go to this site.

WARNING! You need to go there, but NOT if you have recently eaten or will soon be eating or are even thinking about eating!

I dream about Douthart all the time. I miss it terribly. I miss the people, the atmosphere, the community... the pantry... :) I looked forward to being a college student for most of my life, and it really was all I expected it to be. And now that it's over I feel kind of lost. I spent a lot of time daydreaming about college, but not much time ( Read more... )

I planned on heading back on Monday, but the Weather Channel said there was a tornado watch and there were supposed to be thunderstorms, so I waited until Tuesday. Of course all day Monday it was nice and sunny (at least in Nebraska) and Tuesday it was cloudy and rained the entire way home. Which sucked because while I do not mind driving at ( Read more... )
