I grew up in a house that was kept chilly in the summer. My parents were farmers and spent a lot of hot days outside in the summer. When my dad came inside he wanted some respite from the Nebraska sun. So our house was chilly. Walking out into the day was like the inside of a car and the inside of a car was like....really hot.

After watching one of those "you're wearing all the wrong clothes" shows where the woman in question was wearing clothes too tight for her, I couldn't help but wonder, "How did I get on this show?" Now I do like to wear clothes that are busty and to get this, often I have to sacrifice other proprieties. Basically i live my life like I only own a ( Read more... )

       I watched Starting Out in the Evening this morning. This old writer is interviewed by this red-headed hottie who's not as smart as her pretty eyes tell you. She's asking him about his process and if he ever has a story in mind before he writes and he tells her no, that he wishes it was that simple, but that he starts out with one character ( Read more... )

We left nebraska today. Six hours later we were out of nebraska. We stopped on the outskirts of Cheyenne. We paid 60 bucks for a motel room where the lady messed up the credit card transaction and didn't have change. Amanda got pretty annoyed and then i thought about it and I got a annoyed too. When we finally got to our rooms Amanda took the bed I ( Read more... )

I'm actually sitting with Hope, my cousin's baby daughter. What does that make us? Second cousins? First cousins once removed? I don't usually say this because it might hurt people's feelings but aside from my nieces and nephews, Hope is the cutest baby I've ever seen. She is a little blondy whose hair is beginning to curl in the back. She has this ( Read more... )

Last night talking with Ranessa and Jennifer I was talking about what i was going to do for the an Independent Study in school this fall. I have been planning to try to connect with the Boys and Girls club and do an afterschool story telling program for jr high/high school aged kids. But as I was talking with my special lady friends I said out loud ( Read more... )

 I'm sitting in Village Variety right now in their breakroom drinking their coffee and using their wi-fi. I wasn't sure we would find any place that had wi-fi in town but lo and behold the town catch all store indeed has some. I'm also purchasing some yarn and hair bands and am thinking about a car air freshener-something in the shape of a tree or ( Read more... )

 Amanda and I have just  landed ourselves in a little motel in Greybull, Wyoming. All of the thriftstore pictures on the wall have price tags. There was a Lipton Iced Tea hand towel in the bathroom and a showercap, sans pricetag as far as I could tell. Amanda promptly put it on and began to rock back and forth on the little wooden rocking horse ( Read more... )

Today I came home after work and after having a cigarette and a beer with Amanda, we cleaned the house together. It was like we were a family on a Saturday.
