I am just shocked that MJ died! I mean, he's an icon. Icons aren't supposed to die. he has to be alive so we can make fun of him! Craziness. I have been sitting here watching the videos on MTV and BET since I heard. First Ed McMann and then Farrah Fawcett and now MJ. Things come in threes. But, I must admit that I've been dancing around the ( Read more... )

Today is Winnie's 3rd birthday!! (Or 21st in dog years!) I can't believe that she's three. This means that I've been in Roanoke almost 3 years. It will actually be 3 in October.  I can't believe I've been in here and on my own for so long. It's weird to think that I've been here so long, because I don't feel like I've been here that long. I still ( Read more... )

Oh, what a lazy day. I was supposed to clean up around the house and runs some errands, but afer I got back from the dogpark today, I just crashed. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't get off of the couch.

All I've done is give Winnie and Bruno a bath because the ran right through the huge mud puddle at the park. It's not even a puddle, ( Read more... )

Just got back from a weird weekend. My great-uncle Alva died and I had to go the funeral. I tell you what, folks, my dad's family is C-R-A-Z-Y. I know that everyone says that about their families, but has anyone in your family ever called the police because their wife threatened them with a knife because you tried to call your son from a previous ( Read more... )

Ok, so, the derby was amazing!!! I love it when a horse that only cost 9500 dollars comes from behind and blows the 3.7 MILLION dollar horse out f the water!!It was so cool. And the jockey who won did the same thing 2 years ago. For those of you who don't watch the derby, you don't knwo what you are missing. This little Cajun guy so so wound up ( Read more... )

Ahhh, today has, thus far, been a good day. It started off with a trip to the dog park. Joan Ruell (Hollins U's head librarian) was there with her husband and their new greyhound. She was laughing because her dog was ready to go home after about 30 minutes, whereas Winnie and Bruno hadn't even gotten warmed up yet! She was like "I don't envy you ( Read more... )

Oh, my gosh. The concert was amazing. Aside from getting lost and sitting in traffic for 1.5 hours and completely missing the Avett Brothers, it was perfect. There was a power outage right before we left and the rerouted traffic and we got lost. We barely made it in time for DMB, but we did. They started playing at 8 and didn't stop until 11.

Man, this week has been an ADHD kinda week for me. I geuss I"m so stoked about the concert on Friday that I am unable to focus on anything for longer than 15-20 minutes. Work has been craptastic all week. I really need a week away.

I went to the dog park this evening instead of going to the gym, but I figure I got just as good a workout because I ( Read more... )

wow, so i haven't posted since January, but that's because my neighbors moved and I couldn't mooch their internet anymore and it took me this long to get my own hook-up. I know, I take procrastination to a whole other level. But, jeeze, I've been very busy since then. I've starting working out at Curves and I BOUGHT A NEW FREAKIN CAR!! hello! I got ( Read more... )

So I made two, perfect little loaves of banana bread last night. I brought one to work so that my co workers could shower me with the gratitude I so richly deserved for slaving over the stove for 10 minutes. The bread was yummy, everyone loved it. I came home this evening, not even thinking about the other loaf. It was a good thing I wasn't ( Read more... )
