I guess it's about time for a proper update. I just had a great evening with Charles. I didn't get a meal plan this semester and, in turn, we haven't been spending as much time together. I made a roast tonight though and invited him over. Afterwards, we walked over to the library, checked out Broken Hearts Club, stopped by 7-11 for some cheap ( Read more... )

I'm sitting around drinking some hard cider (K...not Special K) and listening to Bob Dylan. Life is good.

Apparently, the new pastry chef at the White House is one of the coauthors for "Desserts for Dummies". Does anyone else think that's funny?

First, let me start this entry by apologizing to Ashley. I was very preoccupied when you called this evening and my sister was yelling at me to get off the phone. I heard very little of what you actually said. I'll call you back tomorrow for a proper Christmassy conversation. This entry should explain some of my preoccupation ( Read more... )

I was doing great until my sister, Jenny, came home. She's constantly making mean little comments (Why don't you wear makeup? Why don't you pluck your eyebrows?

Why wouldn't you go to grad school; do ( Read more... )

The local paper had an article about the rise in sales of religious themed board games. I found one I really want.
