Back at the homecoming concert a couple weeks ago, Avery asked if I'd like to attend the upcoming musical with her. She gets free tickets since she donates to the school and would rather go with someone, so what the heck. The show was Kiss Me, Kate, and the only other time I saw it was when her church group performed it. I thought this was the ( Read more... )

Today essentially is a day of mourning for Chicago. It's fitting that, on the last 10th of the year, when the year is 2010, the Cubs would say goodbye to their #10 ( Read more... )

The computer I use is in the house's middle bedroom, which is also where we keep the ironing board. Mom came in twice last night to get her clothes ready for today, then said she was coming back a third time. Her job involves ads, and one ad she came across apparently was the funniest thing she'd seen in a while. She asked, if you were a real ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to three emails, all from people I know. One was Laura, checking up on me, seeing as I'd said I'd keep her posted on things for this weekend and then never did. Bad me. No cookie. I was really tired after all the family stuff, and now school starts, so in a way it was nice to be able to chill out this weekend. Even my ( Read more... )

As I've been whining about lately, I had a library book due today. I was 90% sure the library would be open. If they were, I could study for my chem test; if not, they have a book drop, so it wouldn't be a wasted trip. As I thought, they were open, and they had a sign on the door to that effect as well. Phew. I spent about an hour looking over ( Read more... )

Even though I still have a ton of work to do over break, I decided to take this day to just relax and not do anything school-related. That's what Sundays are for. Instead, I attempted to find parts of my bedroom, mainly my dresser, where I've been piling things for a while and finally cleared much of the pile away ( Read more... )

I'm in the middle of typing up a project--don't worry, all I have to do is proofread it and then print it out at school--and I have the little TV on so I can watch the news. The weather was just on and I saw the record high for this date was 66F back in 2000. I suddenly had a flashback to what was then my final year in school, this unusually warm ( Read more... )

If you've been here a while, you know that I had a situation with a former coworker from the bookstore. After that, I re-vowed to not have any similar dealings with any other coworkers. This was not terribly difficult. However, there was one person from Company X that kind of gave me that vibe, that he's-into-me vibe, and I did my best to avoid ( Read more... )

Today was our company Christmas party. When I worked at the music store, because it was small and family-run, we did have Christmas parties at the house of one of the family members. That was pretty fun. At the bookstore, though, since it was corporate-owned, there was none of that. And, since I had numerous managers who weren't always into or ( Read more... )
