I was going through some of my old blog entires. Usually I don’t go back and read them because it was my life. I lived it. I should remember it, right?

Well, I didn’t. Somewhere along the way, I have forgotten a lot of things. I blame getting old. I’m going to blame a lot of things on getting old, I can tell.

So you guys know that about 5 ( Read more... )

We started noticing that the dryer was taking forever to dry our clothes and I mean, forever. I thought that there might have been a kink or an obstruction or something in the dryer vent hose. The internet is great for all sorts of things, including how to clean our a dryer vent hose (which you’re totally supposed to do once a year, maybe even ( Read more... )

Recently at auction was an authentic 1800’s vampire killing kit. No lie! It’s got stakes, bible, mirrors, holy water, crosses and garlic. Who can’t write a story with that?

Now I wonder who owned it before. A priest? Or was it lovingly created after the release of Dracula as goodies? Could it possibly have been a Halloween costume? Could someone ( Read more... )

There’s a lot of stuff that happens in this house that I’m not permitted to share because Chris says that nobody wants to know that. He says nobody wants to know about the boogers on your face, but I think you do. If it’s funny, right?

It falls along the lines of TMI, but I think it’s hilarious. But because he is a much more private person than I ( Read more... )

Chris and I were having a conversation about how some people never seemed impressed by anything because they’ve already done it. Like if you said that you got an A in Bio Chem, that person will say they got an A+.

If you say you’ve just visited the moon last week, they’ll tell you they’ve been to Mars.

And then I said how sad it was that Pluto wasn ( Read more... )

So Chris and I went to the Clerk of the Courts today to get our marriage license. There was a hellacious drive, but that's neither here nor there. So here's the thing. Before you can get married, they make you read this pamphlet. So I was thinking it's a pamphlet on how sacred marriage is and how difficult it was and what you need to do to keep it ( Read more... )

We're still experiencing tropical storm Fay. Apparantly, it was stationary for over 6 hours last night, which makes me think that some evil super scientist has found some way to keep the storm from moving. Why would someone do that? Maybe they wanted beach front property.

There was a lot of rain that battered the roof and was so loud that it woke ( Read more... )

The wind and rain has died down since last night. There wasn't anything except some banging that came from one of the trees by the house. It woke me up a couple of times during the night, but it wasn't anything that kept me awake the whole night.

The tropical storm is currently off the coast and will most likely gain strength. They're thinking that ( Read more... )
