I saw the cutest display while walking at the civic center tonight. An adorable little girl cradling her cabbage patch doll, while walking with her Dad and the family dog. So cute! I remember my first cabby. Her name was Gabrielle. Oh, I loved her so. So much that I painted her lips with nail polish and abused her in so many other ways that I don't ( Read more... )

My mother's thoughts on her first date... post marriage:

I think he is very nice, but not sure he is an intellectual match -- seems boring. But perhaps he was just nervous. We'll see.

This is beyond weird. I miss my dad.

I just had to post these as they make me happier than just about anything. Bonnie and Tim generally go all out with costumes for their children, but this year had to have been the best. I especially love Jacob's.

This a momentous occasion. Me not bitching for once! :)

No... but really. Something good came of today. I was notified via email that my student loan for next semester is all set to go. Excellent.

Its happened again. I didn't fall asleep until close to 5:30am, and then jolted awake at 8:30. Strange indeed.

I'm feeling a bit distraght. Running with scissors isn't playing in TC!

Why I have been waking up after only 5 hours of sleep is beyond my comprehension. I get up, sit on the computer for roughly 2 hours and then climb back in bed. Its a strange thing, really. I think today its simply because I have a day off and I'd rather not waste these precious hours in bed... although sleep really is my favorite past time :). ( Read more... )

I realize its not until January, but can I just say that I'm really anticipating 'Wincing The Night Away'? The Shins are overdue! Plus I just like the title of the album. Hehe.

I cannot believe this. Its 6:30 in the AM and I haven't slept a wink. Why, you ask? Ohhhh, because I spotted a rather large spider looking very scary on my wall right after I snuggled into bed. I managed to kill it with a can of bug spray, a shoe, and lots of screaming... but I couldn't sleep for the remainder of the night, for fear that there were ( Read more... )

Gosh. Things just feel so surreal. Can anyone say relief? After 3 months of nausea, stress and anxiety... I finally know how I will be paying for school/living expenses for the next year. My grandmother, being the sweetheart that she is, cosigned for a $20,000 loan that I shall be living off of until the fall of 2007. I received the "approval" ( Read more... )

Funny the things that amuse me these days. I've spent the last few hours with my Sunday newspaper ads, searching for buy one get one deals on laundry detergent, paper towels, non perishable foods, etc. that I will easily be able to stock away for my move to Grand Rapids next month. Forget shopping for clothes... I'm all about the household items ( Read more... )
