So I suck at updating. Anyways, since I last updated much has happened. Christmas was wonderful in general. While my family was stressful it was still nice to see everyone, most of them I hadn't seen since my going away party pre-Italy. My mom has since acquired a million and one dogs, well five but in reality four 100+ pound dogs and one growing ( Read more... )

So I’ve been rather cranky lately and wanted to put things in perspective

Thankful for…

The Wedding this weekend, I can’t wait!

Free alcohol and amazing food at the wedding, and the kickass hotel we are staying in

Not being pregnant. Not that it was a worry but all of these childhood friends or acquaintances, both my age and younger, are showing up ( Read more... )

I had a downright lovely couple of days this weekend. Friday I got the surprise of Miss Sarah visiting so Monica, Sarah, Amanda, and I did dinner. Amanda and I looked at Halloween costumes, I found a lovely Dorothy one that made me look like a hooker. Needless to say, I didn’t buy it. I’m looking for ideas still. Made apple pie while drinking which ( Read more... )

I don't usually touch livejournal but Amanda's interesting post influenced me, I couldn't help it! And it makes me realize that my school seemed to WANT to make us read banned books...interesting.

Beneath the cut is a list of the top 110 banned books. Bold the ones you've read. Italicize the ones you've read part of. Underline the ones you ( Read more... )

I’m at work being unproductive. I don’t usually take my breaks because I forget so this is my way to those! I’m excited because my apartment is coming together, Tuesday is (hopefully) the last part of the move. I had a good weekend though much of my time was taken up by physical labor! Friday was fun hanging out with some of Brian’s friends and ( Read more... )

Oh I forgot that I also live next to a payless shoes store and African food restaurant. I'm making dinner right now and I'm happy for the food part. It's yummy, has bacon in it. Pasta with alfredo, bacon, and broccoli sauce. YUM! Anything with bacon is yummy.

I have returned! Amanda picked me up from the airport where we immediately encountered a key situation with my new apartment, a lock-in with her car, a bouncer and drunk who break into cars, and the dine-and-dash kids from Clarkes that were chased by our favorite gay waiter. I have since seen Mike, Brian, his entire family, and Mark and Amanda ( Read more... )

So I fell asleep and had this dream about Amanda reading at a poetry reading in this strange italian restaurant. She was reading this poem that she wrote like way back in fall, so then I woke up and absoultely had to find it which took a while since I had no memory of when it was posted. I had to go back to fall months! I'm reposting it, keep in ( Read more... )

So in true Amanda fashion (and believe me Amanda, I thought about you all day because of this) I am posting my new shoes that I got at the vintage market. Yes I realize that they don't match because I got two pairs. But I like them. Whether or not they are comfy remains to be seen, but at least they are adorable! There was so much there that if I ( Read more... )
