So, Carrie Underwood was amaaaaaazing. It was literally the best arena show I've ever seen in my life and it takes a lot for me to rank above my beloved Miss Spears. I kinda wish I hadn't waited so long to get this all down, but I also think if I'd started writing about this at the time my mom left I'd have dissolved into a puddle of sadness. Her ( Read more... )

My mom keeps passing out on me super early. Which leads to a fairly boring late night, but I suppose it also leads to more LJ updating? On the dreaded iPad. I suppose I could turn on Big Bertha but meh - it's really kind of nice being away from the computer. Except for LJ entries. Oh, the misclicking and terrible auto-correct ( Read more... )

So mom made from scratch popcorn last night while we watched the newest Silent Hill - and she made a good darn lot of it. So I ate a good darn lot of it. And it was soooooo freaking good, so easy, I will never eat bagged again. But there are consequences to piling your stomach with as much popcorn as it can potentially hold and ohhhh goodness was I ( Read more... )

So, for the first time in five (possibly more) years, I am with my mother. It's ... absolutely sad and tragic and a whole bunch of other terms that it's taken this long for us to get together but you know hey - at least it's happening. She is currently, however, passed the fuck out. Our fragile, delicate bodies being the sensitive ecosystem they ( Read more... )

You'd think I'd know better by now than to make all of these grand claims about my rekindled love of LJ and how (omgyouguysiswear) I intend on writing in it obsessively once again. That generally lasts, like, a week. Or maybe now that I'm not 17 anymore I no longer feel the need to write every little detail of my life down ( Read more... )

My dad with the fifth round pick for the New Orleans Saints. His dad works with mine. Apparently he would've been picked higher except, like many football players, he managed to get in some kind of trouble and that brings your status down. Still cool. Plus I love how my dad is grinning like a kid in a candy shop ... we do love our football!

Been a long time, not quite sure what to all include ... my trip back home to California wasn't stellar. It sort of seemed like my entire family was at war and there were a few incidents that kept me up at night for weeks after I got home. It was just that feeling of unease, that feeling that settles in the pit of your stomach, lets you know that ( Read more... )

In Califooooornia! The cottage is pretty kick ass. It's like having my own tiny home. :-) Plus it's right across the way from the beach and it's all pretty and naturey. Lots of good Mango peeing spots! Anyway, it's been pretty awesome ... I managed to get here just in time for Melissa's water to break and spent some time at the hospital with her ( Read more... )

So, my brother came into town and I stole him from my mom and grandma and took him back to PG with me. And you guys ... it is SO cute. Shaun and my little bro are sitting in front of me and playing Xbox. They're all bondy and talking geek and it's just ... wonderful! Warms the heart, it does. Aww. Kodak moment ( Read more... )
