Last night was so much fun! We opened up the bottle of wine that my mom has been saving for Amy for 6 years now - the bottle that is 21 years old, just like Amy! She had some friends come over and we all sat around chatting until well after 1am. It was funny to watch Abel and Brandon have a silent dick-measuring contest over my sister, and I really ( Read more... )

The flight out here wasn't too bad, until we began our initial descent. A piece of advice for travelers with a sinus infection from hell - don't fly! I thought my head was going to explode for the entre 30 minutes it took us to touch down. Wow it was bad.

Today I woke up smiling as sunshine poured through the window onto my face. The news boasted a ( Read more... )

Good news:
- Met with a CPA this afternoon and he can help me reduce my taxes by thousands of dollars. I'm meeting with him on Monday to talk about ways to fix this and the possibility of getting a second job.
- I leave for L.A. on Thursday! I can't wait to see my sis and the look on her face when I show up at baggage claim. I really miss her and it ( Read more... )

Wow, what a day! Despite all of the crap that is currently going on, I feel more like myself today than I have since the beginning of December. Hopefully the antibiotic is doing its thing and I'll be back to normal by the weekend. *crosses fingers* Have I mentioned how much I love my new doctor? She actually has taken the time to thumb through all ( Read more... )

It is fascinating to me to watch this quarter-sized fuzzy bee fly from yellow center to yellow center of each flower-cluster on the tree outside of my living room window. I can't explain what it is, exactly, but the bzzz-ing sound and the methodical approach this particular bee has to eating is mesmerizing right now ( Read more... )

What an awesome weekend! Friday I met up with Mike, Brian, and Cara for happy hour at Pitchers to have a drink and share some laughs. After that, I convinced Cara to accompany me to Brent's housewarming/sushi party ~ and we were both incredibly impressed! Cara now thinks that she actually might like sushi, and I was unbelievably impressed at their ( Read more... )

It's too much and I can feel myself wavering on the verge of breaking down completely. It's stress overload, but combined with the exhaustion that whatever is ailing me leaves behind, it's just too damn much and I don't know what to do ( Read more... )

You see? THIS is why I love Colorado! It may seem a little crazy to all who live in "normal" climates, but I love the fact that no one can ever guess what the weather is going to do from one day to the next. w00t

Things have been stressful lately. I'm still really sick, and the doctors are still stumped as to what exactly is ailing me. Apparently ( Read more... )

I'm afraid of the dark. Not the kind of velvety blackness that is so conducive to a good, sound sleep, but the kind where you're running around trying to find the way out and you can't see a thing. My life right now is very much like a merry-go-round that is spinning right in front of me, but I can't seem to grab ahold of the rail and boost myself ( Read more... )
