1. When I was a kid, I thought my parents were so smart, and knew exactly what they were doing. Now I understand, they had no clue and were just making it up as they went along. Which is precisely what I'm doing now. I realized this rationally a long time ago, but I still feel like I've just found out Santa Claus isn't real ( Read more... )

Yesterday I ran my first half marathon. Yea me! Running has always been the bane of my existance, so I decided to conquer it. It was so awesome. I dyed my hair Run Lola Run/Sydney Bristow red like a good little fangirl. I was getting pretty tired around mile 11, but I had enough gas to sprint the ending (although my sprint was probably a fast ( Read more... )

I had to put my kitty down yesterday. I got her during my senior year of college. She's seen me through four girlfriends, three moves, five jobs, and both my mother and my grandmother dying. She was the epitome of feline grace, and while most would say that I owned her, in fact, she chose to stay with me ( Read more... )

A bunch of us were roped into doing a set of personality tests "so we can learn more about ourselves and each other" (or as I like to think, "how can we better manipulate each other?").

Sigh. *Smacks head* Must be better about updating. Thinking about what to write is not the same as doing it ( Read more... )

I've been working like a dog the last month. I've had my regular duties, plus a bunch of safety stuff I had to spearhead, and I became a medical first responder/medic. I haven't had to go on any calls yet, but all the prep and exams, and radio training have been fun. However, the best part is that I get to go on a true vacation for the first ( Read more... )

I love beautiful May days. The sun is shining, the trees and flowers are blooming, and people are out enjoying it. I just got home from delivering flowers for Mother's Day. I didn't have as many deliveries as I'd hoped, but $72 is $72, and I need every dollar I can get. Besides, it was sweet to make so many moms and grandmas smile ( Read more... )

My iPod is unhappy. I dropped it yesterday at physical therapy, and now it won't work. It won't even comunicate with the computer, and a reset didn't help. I am so bummed. Like my lover left me or something ( Read more... )

Oh, yeah, it's April 24th.

And it's fucking SNOWINGYes, welcome to Michigan, where it snows out the Tigers from playing baseball, and the Lions waste away another draft. Let's not even start in on the Red Wings. Well, at least there's the Pistons ( Read more... )
