I've been trying all day to decide what to write. I keep hearing people on TV talking about where they were, what they were doing when they heard the news. I was sitting in Mrs. Shaw-Williamson's Junior English class. She was reading "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. Coach Kell (our principal) came over the intercom telling all the teachers to ( Read more... )

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine...

Wait?! What is NINE? I can't eat NINE! NINE what?!?

Just thought you'd like to know my feelings on the subject...

At 7:30 this morning, Grandpa went in to have hip replacement surgery at St. Michael's in Texarkana. The doctors told Momma & Granny that the procedure would probably take about 3 to 4 hours. It only lasted a little over 2 hours. When Momma was still at the hospital, Grandpa was having to press the Morphine button as often as he was allowed... ( Read more... )

I spent nearly 2 weeks with my gurls in Colorado. Nearly 2 weeks with Aaron. Now the only people I see are Mom, Steve, and the people at work. I know it's only a few more weeks until I get to go back to Magnolia, but time passes so slowly when it's in intervals of work-days and off-days, where I do nothing but sit at the computer. It all seems ( Read more... )

I was in a store today, and I was listening to the song that was playing, singing it in my head. At one point, it sounded like it skipped or just messed up somehow...but then I realized that only one word was left out. I just stopped right where I was...I couldn't believe it. It might have been a mistake, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was ( Read more... )

Hooray for DSL! I'm just glad I can get it to work in my room, considering I'm way-the-heck on the other side of the house from a phone jack & the DSL cord is stuck in the filter & in the back of the modem. I'm amazing!!!

When everything is perfect and I have absolutely nothing to worry about, why do I decide to lose my mind? I question the one thing in my life that I know will always be there. I'm worried about something messing up, and my worrying is what's gonna mess something up. Pray for me that I don't have another brain-fart. I'm going to cause too many ( Read more... )

Well, my cousin got married today (well, actually yesterday since it's after midnight). It was kinda weird to me b/c she's one day short of only four months older than me. I'm thrilled for her though. Her & Jared have been together for 6 years. I know they'll be very happy ( Read more... )

Welp, it's my birthday. I'm 21 (aka LEGAL - whoop-dee-do). I got back this afternoon from camping and canoeing the Buffalo since Monday. I'm glad Aaron convinced me to go. It was a blast! Got to hang out with some of the youth group and get to know the Peace family. Felt kinda weird to be one of the "old guys," but it was expected. It was ( Read more... )
