I have lately been doing this thing wherein I find out (usually through facebook) that friends and acquaintances are doing or have been doing these amazing, fun, crafty, interesting things that I think make them more attractive and more interesting as people because the assumption is that they are (or are becoming) much more well-rounded than I in ( Read more... )

 I wish I could just get my shit together. I feel like a relatively stable, normal, adult individual but then these little bumps in the road just throw me off. This week I somehow managed to become overdrawn in two separate bank accounts. Both were for really stupid reasons. I cancelled my "membership" at the tanning salon and I thought they had ( Read more... )

I just read this post on Consumerist. It's supposedly car rental tips from a car rental agent - but most of it just comes off as "ways you, as a customer, can make my life easier". So I'm inspired (read: bored) and I'm going to write my own list.

Today a man decided to yell at me about my "I'm Pro-choice and I vote" bumper sticker while I was in the drive-thru at Burger King ( Read more... )

this is quickly becoming a blog all about my wedding. blech. but here it goes again anyway ( Read more... )

I have this dream of pulling off our wedding for under $500. Not very long ago I didn't even realize it WAS a dream - I mean to say, I didn't realize it is almost impossible and therefore kind of a dream in that way ( Read more... )

christmas songs make me happy no matter what time of year. they may even make me happier when they are out-of-season, actually. of course, not all christmas songs are created equal ( Read more... )

I started RCIA (Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults) classes tonight. It was so odd to listen to scripture readings again, to hear prayers again, even just to hear the words "Jesus Christ" and "God" so often. I am trying (obviously) to be really open to it, but I think it may be difficult for me at times. Is it weird to want to join the church ( Read more... )
