Joe had been broke this past month, and he finally got his paycheck from his radiostation gig the other day, so he took me out to Bianca's. Fellas - ladies - this is the best damn Italian food in G'boro, no, one of the best damn restaurants in G'boro. It is probably THE place to take your significant other out to eat. Not only that, but for the ( Read more... )

My grandfather, Jack Mize, died on June 22, 2005. His health had been declining for the past two years, and I'm glad that he's not suffering anymore and his soul is in a better place. To read more about this, go to my boyfriend Joe's livejournal under his username "thetaoofjoe2". My grandmother is doing alright. This October, they would have ( Read more... )

Hear about that helicopter crash in Kabul? I sure hope Cory wasn't one of the fatalities, or that he knew any of those guys. I can't believe a dust storm was the cause. The weather must be worse than Cory described, like they are actually stationed on another planet ( Read more... )

recorded anything in this journal! The professors have made sure that I have no social life. They do the best they can to stress you out. But I won't let 'em. Life is good. Besides classes, I still have my ASA job, plus I work at a B&B and I'm training to work at the Writing Center (come on by from 5-8 PM on Sundays y'all ( Read more... )

Rick Magee came by with three more ducks that he shot this morning sort of as a Christmas present. His nine-year-old daughter, Sheyanne, was his runner. She enjoys hunting with her dad (she's an only child ( Read more... )

So I overslept this beautiful Saturday morning, but awoke to my dad's chainsaw cutting wood. As I was reading the paper and having breakfast, one of my mom's coworkers dropped by and handed me a duck in a plastic bag, freshly shot in the ass. It was still warm.

Okay, so the fasting thing bombed. I was nauseus this morning and kept throwing up, but of course I was just vomiting liquid. So I thought it would be a good idea to stop fasting ( Read more... )

I have decided to fast today, tomorrow, and Saturday. It's the ideal time since I don't have to bustle around campus or play rugby. I have nothing to do. I've always wanted to experience what it feels like to fast, but never had an opportune time to do it. I don't think my parents will object. Jesus did it for 40 days. My mother told me she ( Read more... )

Parting is such sweet sorrow. Return to me and I will never doubt you again. Gee am I in a dramatic mood or what? Well I spent the whole day with Joe before he leaves for his brother's on Thursday. It was COLD! And I wasn't wearing a decent jacket! After a short escape from the cold, we went to Best Buy to purchase the Return of the King ( Read more... )
