I'm in Maine. By the way, is it incredibly non-interesting of me to continuously write about whatever state I'm in? I really don't know why I do that ( Read more... )

Logic should tell me that 60 mph winds are dangerous. I know this, but - oh my heart! - there is nothing that I can think of at the moment that is more awesome than being on the highway during a crazy thunderstorm while mister radio man is telling me that tornados may pop up at any minute and please seek shelter immediately ( Read more... )

I've been waitressing in a smalltown diner. This is a diner owned by my mother-in-law; a diner where everyone knows my husband, has watched him grow up there; a diner where 80% of the patrons are over 60 years old and where several people come in for meals and coffee several times between 6am and 4pm; a diner in a town where everyone knows ( Read more... )

I am finished with college. All I have left to do is graduate - to walk me and my funny hat across the stage. Nope, nope, nope...not in the mood to be sappy. It will come, but not right now. I am so freaking glad to be done with that stupid paper! That's really all I have to say right now.

Coffee and I are not getting along right now. It's just one of those situations when you're around each other too much and you get sick of each other. We've been hanging out almost exclusively with each other for about a week. I love coffee, but he is driving me crazy. I can't think ( Read more... )
