Spring break is gone, and it’s left me with a nasty cold. My nose started running two days ago and it hasn’t stopped yet. But it’s alright. Prior to getting sick, I had some good times. Spring Break ‘05 started out on Saturday morning, March 12th, with a trip up to New Symrna Beach, where I attended a Bob Ross Landscape workshop. 4 hours and $45 ( Read more... )

On Saturday morning I woke up bright and early around 8:00am, packed the car with snacks, and Crissy and I drove about an hour north of Orlando to Blue Springs State Park. I spent the day canoeing Blue Springs Run, walking up and down the boardwalk by the spring, and hanging out with manatees. One of them came right up and bumped our canoe. Then, ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day has been a suprisingly good day for me this year. Valentine's Day, in general, tends to be a pretty lame holiday that causes more stress than it's usually worth.

While I was there, I learned a lot about my family that I never knew. I found out that my great grandmother gave birth to my grandfather in Germany out of wedlock, and so he ( Read more... )

There's nothing better than sharing time with the people you love on Christmas. I couldn't have asked for a happier holiday. I ate 2 dinners today- one with Crissy's family & one with my own. I ate several days worth of food within just a few hours. I shared some very warm moments and conversations with good people. Every bit of negativity in my ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a while since I updated here and I left off in a pretty depressing way, so I figure it's about time to write something new and let people know how things are going now. And things are actually going really well ( Read more... )

Over the years, I have known a lot of friends who have lost their pets,and it is always sad. But the sadness never lasted long. Within an hour, thoughts about it would be the furthest thing from my mind. But when it's your pet who dies, the sadness is so much stronger. It's losing a family member. Brandy was a member of my immediate family for ( Read more... )
