Thanksgiving was both fun and a disaster and a half. My Aunt Jan lives up in Washington state, and she came up with the wonderful idea to have Thanksgiving at my parent's new house up there (oh yeah, they bought a house within 20 minutes of Aunt Jan a few months ago; they're trying to rent it out until they can move up). If we went, we would be ( Read more... )

Note: This post may be considered TMI for some, but it's my blog and I need to talk about this. If you're uncomfortable with talk about sex, just skip it

Mom and Dad disappeared for hours today. When they came back, they had a brand new 2010 Honda Civic.

They gave me (or, more accurately, are letting me use) Mom's 2001 Acura. This is three days after I talked to Dad about using the settlement money from my car to buy a used ~2009 Kia, and he approved of the plan.

Their reasoning? "But you wanted the ( Read more... )

So I got a call from my doctor's office. Apparently, my health insurance won't pay for my last visit -- I had to get my white blood cell count re-checked a month and a half ago after a latent infection. Now, I know I'm covered. I've been having problems like this since I was re-admitted for coverage in June. I called the insurance company to talk ( Read more... )

Holy crap I don't think I've ever been this close to flipping out over this.

I went off birth control toward the end of February due to my financial situation and lack of health insurance, but we've still been practicing safe sex. Dan brought up last Saturday night as we were cuddling in bed that it had been quite awhile since I'd had it, but I ( Read more... )

Okaaay..... what happened to my late-spring-bordering-on-summer weather? Today has decided that it's a grand idea to revert to late autumn weather. Seriously, 60 degrees with a 70% chance of rain tonight. Why so wonky, weather??

I managed to get three days off in a row last week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), so Dan and I were going to go down to the ( Read more... )

I feel like my brain is turning to mush. Since graduating from university last June, I have had so little actual mental stimulation that I am convinced my brain is actually slowly melting and leaking out my ears. I try to avoid sitting at the computer all day when I'm not working, but mostly I just read novels if I'm not on the internet. I'm pretty ( Read more... )

Ahahaha. I just found out that Tatiana has a blogspot. First thing I saw: "People need to be kinder to one another." Uh yeah, starting with you being kinder towards your mother. From what I've read, she sounds kind of pretentious. I especially laughed when she cited some lady who was nice to her at a store as a "really good person." Honey, that ( Read more... )

I have been wanting cake ALL DAY. Seriously, since I was talking to my parents on the phone late last night when they walked in and found that Kelly had made my mom a birthday cake while they were gone this weekend. Sweet, moist vanilla cake, chocolate cake, carrot cake, that birthday cake with the melty candy things baked into it with fudgy, ( Read more... )

I am pissed and depressed and frustrated ( Read more... )
