You know, I've started this post half a dozen times. I just don't know what to say. I want to bitch and moan about my dad and how he keeps spending money I keep telling him we don't have and keeps putting his account into the red so I have to piece meal the shit out of my savings and have now spent around $300 on overdraft charges and there I got ( Read more... )

HELLO. It's been a while, hasn't it? Let's see. Last flood related news was...oh yes. Crap, two weeks ago. A lot of crap has been going on. Hmm. Well, everyone loves lists!

1) Floodage

I'm not going to give any links cuz that would be effort, i.e. requiring me to look for them. Let me try to stuff it in a nutshell. The river crested on June 13th (I ( Read more... )

Exactly one year ago, almost to the minute, D and I poured the last of the liquor in our house--and it was considerable--my parents used to run a bar, so I inherited quite a lot of liquor--down the sink. D hasn't had a sip of alcohol since that night. He's been dry, part 2, for a year now. They say the first year is the hardest but he's done well. ( Read more... )

So one of my dear friends, who is already like uber famous where she lives because she is that. awesome. has had an article written about her apartment and her not-for-profit. And can I just say, Jess, that when we finally buy a place and settle down, I'm totally coming to you for decorating advice? You are just like, naturally awesome How do you ( Read more... )

I promise this will be my last post about the apocalypse. Maybe. So, today is Super Cleany Day in the neighborhood. The day after the storm, Thursday, people were out in droves, chainsawing and hacking and all other sorts of things people do to trees when they fall down, but today the city has hired dozens of burly men with woodchippers to drive ( Read more... )

I've taken to sleeping on my boyfriend's side of the bed. Not even on purpose (at least, not consciously), I just started waking up that way. I start out on my side, generally on my stomach, or on my side but closer to the middle, but I wake up with my head on his pillow and my feet hanging off my side of the bed. It's weird and not entirely ( Read more... )

Well, pseudo-crisis. I've been invited back into the community of whence I spoke. Apparently, I was forgotten or some such nonsense in the first go around, but really I don't care because I'm only in it for one thing, anyway.

I haven't been on LJ in approx 3 years, either. I have a lot of catching up to do.

However, this catching up is not going to ( Read more... )

So, it's Valentine's Day. Hip hip hooray.

Okay, don't get me wrong. Probably my second or third favorite holiday after St. Paddy's Day and Christmas. It's an excuse to show and tell people you love them and give them things you might not normally give. Not everyone is kind enough to give their loved ones random gifts. Anyway. So I like it.

But ( Read more... )

I have to, cuz I'm dating a Scot. He's even making me wear his plaid... excuse me, his tartan.

But, super cute skirt. So I'll stop complaining about that bit. As long as he stops complaining about the boots and completely mismatched tee shirt.

:D

People, there is haggis in my fridge. Haggis. It's there quite often. He enjoys it, for some reason. And ( Read more... )

Hello.

Some of you may remember me as The Girl Who Used to Post Every Day. Remember those good old days? What's happened, you asked?

Simple. My life has gone to shit.

But enough about that.

There are so many more things that I should do than post. There's the two books I have to finish, the stories I have to finish, the greeting cards I have to ( Read more... )
