Highlights from the past week:
1. Watching a 17 year old be all that she could be.
2. My husband making a big sacrifice for our happiness, whether he sees it that way or not.
3. Dorian pulling up. The world is lived in the vertical and we need to babyproof...again.
4. Playing with toddlers. People can say they are awful, but there's a lot of magic ( Read more... ) -

"Like a ten-speed bike, most of us have gears we do not use." -- Charles Schulz
I'm liking the quote today. I'm going to use quotes when my life is much too boring to talk about. I think there is a lot of truth to this. There are a lot things in my life that I can do, but don't. I think the quote means we aren't all using our brains the way we ( Read more... ) -
return...and I'm a lit major
So, I've been gone forever...I know. Next Monday I plan to actually restart my blog. Today you get something I've stolen from wasptiger's blog.
"What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ( Read more... ) -
rant
I know I’ve not written anything all year. I’m going to blame it on my mediocre life. However, right now I need to rant and am really looking for a sympathetic pair of eyes.
- Gavin has been trying to call Indiana University since November. He’s called/emailed several times a week the whole time. Yesterday his contact finally emailed him back saying ( Read more... )

An Epiphany
You can tell I'm on break because I have time to post. Along with the time to bore you with my life, I usually spend a great deal of break reorganizing my apartment which, after finals and Gavin working the Christmas retail season, looks more like an abandoned lot people throw junk into than a home. Part of this arduous task is going through ( Read more... ) -
On the Holidays
Well, my holy days didn't feel so holy this year. With finals seeping into the few days before Christmas Eve, my Christmas bonus coming four days late (leaving Gavin and I with two whole days to do Christmas shopping), the fact that I work at a church and plan the biggest service of the year (starring 4 year-olds), and my first Christmas spent ( Read more... ) -
One play, four novels
34. Uncle Vanya Anton Chekov- a Russian play written in 1899. What is it about? Well, there's a lot of drama, but not a lot happens. Everyone is either living with all his or her hopes already dashed or has his or her hopes dashed by the end of the play. It's not a happy play and ends on an unsettling note of the fact that we must just work to ( Read more... ) -
Wasting Time
So, I'm not necessarily watching hours go by doing nothing for the fun, but I am finding myself in strange situation...I'm ahead on my schoolwork and don't really have anything to do. I've read the last two novels for Post Colonialism (a very depressing afternoon) and I only have two plays and a few more chapters of Derrida's Gift of Death. ( Read more... )
