I need help! I found a little pit bull puppy at my house today. Someone dumped her out on our road. She has a case of mange (probably demodex) and I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow to start treating it. She is incredibly sweet and has stolen my heart, but I can't keep her because of the things I've read about pit bull temperament in terms of ( Read more... )

I weighed myself today. My lard butt is up to 150 pounds. Now, that's not a totally irredeemable weight, but it's bad enough. I used to weigh 130. So, my goal is to lose 20 pounds. I think it's reasonable for me to be able to lose about three pounds a week, so I'll set my weight loss goals accordingly ( Read more... )

I just finished what may be the most depressing book I've ever read. It was very well-written and even beautiful, but horrible at the same time. It's called The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. It's a memoir detailing her life in a really messed-up family. I've never been so angered and saddened by a book in my whole life. I mean, I do get ( Read more... )

The English department awarded me an $800 scholarship. It's awarded to one student a year who "stands out in the English discipline." I don't know if I really stand out, but I'll take all of the money I can get. My parents are paying for a class that I need to take this summer and that single class is going to cost $1,500 ( Read more... )

Well, it's Sunday afternoon and I'm supposed to be at the laundromat since our septic is currently non-functional. Stephan and I actually considered hauling the washer over to the old house to use it there, but I don't know if I have that much enthusiasm (or strength) considering that we don't have a hand-truck of any kind and we'd have to carry it ( Read more... )

I'm procrastinating and I should be shot for it...

but I love my Stephan. I never thought I could be so happy. I am more myself with him than I am without him.

To start out on a positive note, I met Stephan's family this week. They drove from Georgia to spend a couple of days with us. He has a rather large family (a family that definitely doesn't fit into one minivan), but his mom, dad, sister, aunt and two nephews came. A few other people (his brother, sister-in-law, another nephew and a niece) were ( Read more... )

It has been a little over a year since Stephan and I met in person. We spent this time last year saying goodbye at the airport. But, while he was here then, we went to the carnival. When it came back to town this year, we went there to celebrate. :)

I have a new, crazy scheme to keep up with my schoolwork this semester. I'm going to work a week ahead on everything over the weekends. I hope that this way, I might be able to hold down a job while making good grades. My gpa is a 3.7 right now, but I want it a little higher than that before I graduate ( Read more... )
