What is today, kiddies? Today is the start of FOOTBALL SEASON. I've only been counting down obssessively since the Super Bowl in February. Lots of things have changed since then, but my husband (Peyton) ended last year kicking ass and he'll start off this year kicking ass. Tonight he's playing the 'Aints. Go Colts ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in awhile. I simply haven't had the time. For those of you who feel neglected, I still love you and miss you dearly. Life is simply in overdrive right now. I'm exceedingly happy. Sometimes I amaze myself, looking back even just a few months ago at the person I once was.

Also, for those of you who watched The Starter Wife, I have ( Read more... )

You know what the worst feeling in the world is? Being responsible. Sometimes you can come away with a feeling of deep inner satisfaction; the knowledge that you did the right thing. This is usually trumped by that nauseating fact that you're probably missing out on something legendary. You would be out there experiencing the awesome with ( Read more... )

Something absolutely horrific has happened, and I'm just not going to deal with it right now. Do you ever have those things that happen, and they're so draining that the thought of talking about them makes you dizzy? It's not that it's a secret or something devious; it's merely the effort required to express what happened, and all the consoling ( Read more... )

This has been the most incredible weekend. I will sum up last night quickly. City Limits country bar in Raleigh. Two-steppin'. Bull-ridin'. Men from the air force. Dancin'. Fun. And then today I did something I did not expect. I have been talking about it for awhile, but I did not want to be rash. I wanted to wait until I became financially and ( Read more... )

I don't know why I picked such a depressing subject line. The song is currently playing in my head, even though I'm incredibly upbeat. First of all, the obvious is that it's Friday. As a follow-up to that, it's also PAYDAY. A further bonus is that the freezing crisis in the office is over, and our heating pump is fixed. Lastly, I am so incredibly ( Read more... )

This is rather cool. How many band names can you find in this pictureRight now I am exhausted. I'm at work, but I'm exhausted to the extreme. Last night was a lot of fun. Jenni and Liz (aforementioned Other Liz who broke up with her boyfriend, per last entry) decided to make a project out of me. Jenni taught me how to straighten my hair, and it ( Read more... )

Where will I be next Tuesday night? Seeing Def Leppard, Foreigner, and Styx in Raleigh.

Welcome to Wednesday, everyone. As I mentioned yesterday, our office has been abnormally cold. We found out that the reason for this is that some moron broke our heating pump for this part of the building, so we're sitting at a nice 56 to 58 degrees, depending on the time of day. Thankfully I am bundled up in a brand new pretty red sweater and a ( Read more... )

So, it's the middle of August, and everyone in the department is huddled at their desks with hot coffee and wrapped up in blankets, myself included. I actually bear a striking resemblence to Mary, with my head covered, as well. You may be asking yourself why are we all a collective bucket full of crazy by bundling up so during the hottest days of ( Read more... )
