I cried this morning while getting ready for work and nearly cried last night while I was chatting with Kev on MSN. Just remarkably unhappy. I’m not sure I should go to London to see him in a few weeks, as planned. Our friendship is possibly not healthy, but it’s hard for me to imagine giving it up: he’s a nice guy, he listens to me, he makes ( Read more... )

We don't have our professional pictures yet--I expect them in the next week. In the meantime, I am posting highlights from our friends' pictures.

It isn't fair for me to write about the wedding without providing pictures, so I'll start with the events leading up to it and hope that my professional pictures arrive in the next couple of weeks ( Read more... )

I never knew that you could get an ordinance violation for "fighting." How vague is that? Apparently that's how they punish you if you and your girlfriend beat the shit out of each other, or at least if you're Lacey's brother Ryan. I talked to Lacey last night and she told me that a few days ago, Ryan came home and was covered in scratches and ( Read more... )

I finally got to meet my nephew Harrison! He was born in January and I saw him for the first time on Saturday. I felt pretty emotional about seeing him and thought he was an absolute doll. He was the happiest, giggliest baby I've ever seen.

I am so glad that Lacey called me last night. She stayed up until 1 am so that she could call (because of the time difference), and I know that she gets up for work at 6 am or earlier. Obviously, she needed to talk.

She's gone through so much shit in the last couple of months that it's just unbelievable. For starters, she lost her job ( ( Read more... )

Amy called over the weekend to ask what hotel we're staying in for the wedding, so that she could book a room. I have absolutely no idea what hotel we're using. I understand completely why she'd want to book now, but I haven't thought that far ahead. Oh, stress ( Read more... )

Earlier this week, Lacey, my best friend from high school, was forced to resign from her job as a Title I teacher. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Title I, it's a program at elementary and middle schools that gives struggling readers a chance to learn in a smaller classroom environment and with more one-on-one attention ( Read more... )

My friend Lacey just IM'd me with a question to which I can't find the answer. Maybe one of you knows.

What's the name of the song with the chorus that goes, "I wanna be you / I wanna be just like you." Or something like that.

And who the hell sings it?
