Can Pop Tarts and fruity snacks be my Mardi Gras vice? Pweeease? ;)

Last night Cory and I were watching Hot Fuzz at his place when the movie stopped abruptly, about three minutes from the end, right at the climax of the storyline. Doh! Nexflix fail. We hopped in the car and dashed to Hollywood Video. No luck. But, they called the location on the other side of town, and they claimed to have it in the store. So, we ( Read more... )

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Thank goodness I was able to break through the cycle of insomnia, and slept normally last night. I seriously woke up feeling like a whole new person. Woo! I have been under a little stress lately, but maybe my body just needed a reboot ( Read more... )

In the light of a new day and shampoo, I realized my hair was worse than I thought. So, I did something I have never done before-- I called the salon and asked if I could come back so they could try again.

It seems that I've learned a few helpful lessons on the home/domestic front this summer firsthand. Since I have a little time now, I thought I'd share my newly acquired knowledge with ( Read more... )

Is it wrong that I now think that Karate Kid II is one of the most romantic movies ever made?

It has been in the nineties every day this week. I finally gave in and installed my air conditioners. My bedroom has a door, so keeping that room cool is pretty simple, but my livingroom has an open doorway, and it was proving to be much more difficult. Today I came up with a slightly dorky (but very effective) solution that I thought some of my ( Read more... )

I think people would be surprised to know how much time I invest in play on a day-to-day basis. My mind is still busied with inventing stories about ordinary things in an attempt to make them more imaginative. Sometimes when I'm folding laundry, I make a little pile off to the side for as-yet unpaired socks. I pretend they're all alone in sockworld ( Read more... )
