Wow. What a Christmas. I can honestly say that it was pretty good. My parents got me what I needed/wanted. And one gift I'll cherish for the rest of my life. The score came in at two dvds (the departed and blood diamond), three smut trash books (whispers in the night, between the sheets and out back behind the shed... not really, but who cares ( Read more... ) -
of course this day would come...
... I was baking my brother diabetic brownies (hopefully they taste okay) and I'm on the phone with Mom. She's asking me about my symptoms because she heard I left work early again today. I let her know that if I eat anything in the morning I get all sick to my stomach an hour or so after. Then she said, 'Are you sick because of a girl-only ( Read more... ) -
under it all...
After the clouds had gone by I thought it best to take the snow off my car. I didn't want it to freeze and make it any harder at 7am than it should be. I picked up the broom (my coat, mittens and ice scraper were all in my car) and started to brush off the 4'' of snow. I realized then that there was a layer of ice about 1/4'' thick I couldn't get ( Read more... ) -

Black Friday
So... after three and a half hours of sleep I hit the stores. I remember why I hated and loved this day. I only have four more presents to buy and I think I spent a total of $200 so far this Christmas! Which is great, considering I've gotten some awesome deals. I think the most fun I had today was buying $80 worth of pillows at JCPenny with my ( Read more... ) -
for what it's worth
You all know how much I hate to move. I came across my clips and found this old editorial I wrote. Weird, it is from when I was still in Muncie. Moving to Fort Wayne. Now I'm moving to Indy. But I wanted to share this because it goes well with the Thanksgiving attitude ( Read more... ) -

I had one of the best three-day weekends in a long time and possibly have had that finished with the worst Monday I've had since I was put in the hospital this past summer. My interviews were great, I turned down one offer and am praying for another. I've sent out mass emails for sublets and apartments in the Indianapolis area. And today, I woke ( Read more... ) -
the routine
Washing away the mononity of the profession I try to recognize the person staring back at me from the mirror. She's familiar. The cowlick in the middle of bangs, the freckles, the small nose. But she's not the woman I am, though. I am unique, modern, care-free. I am full of hope and compassion. The reflection shows none of that. And that is ( Read more... ) -
name your own price...
I try. I try hard to make life easier. Less expensive. Less chaotic. I'm trying to cut back on expenses and make sure that I get my savings account back up in good standing. I'd prefer not to rent for the rest of my life and know that I need a cushion. After paying medical bills and all my other monthly expenses I'll be dropping more than $ ( Read more... ) -

So, last Thursday morning I woke up and knew I had a fever. Breathing was difficult and I was light-headed. A migraine was coming. I quickly showered, grabbed my tissue box that had become my friend for the past week and eventually made it to my Mom's work. In my mid-twenties I'm driving to my parents for help. Thank God, however. The next 48 ( Read more... )
