This weekend, in spite of all the drama with my "friend", has been amazing....even though it's not over yet.

Friday - I turned 26. I was in quite a funk, but my husband swept me up and took me immediately out of it. We had an amazing dinner and then cocktails (of course). I ran into a friend of mine, who just happened to be hanging out at the dive ( Read more... )

I need advice, internet friends....

So, a friend of mine is getting married next month. She had a falling out with one of her bridesmaids months ago and asked me if I would take her place. Happily, I agreed. Well....she's turned into total bridezilla lately. First, she asked if I would pay 75 dollars for make-up and I told her there was no way I ( Read more... )

My cousin died last night. He lost his battle with cancer...I really am kind of relieved for him because I know he was in a lot of pain towards the end. I wasn't close to him in any capacity, but I'm still sad about a lost life so young (he was two years younger than my husband!).  What makes it even worse is that he is leaving behind a nine year ( Read more... )

I have been taking short bike rides with Jeff and Colton...but other than that....Well, determined to shed a few pounds before my Portland trip (nine days away!)

Doing laundry, dishes, and changing diapers doesn't quite leave me as fulfilled as banging out an awesome essay or acing a ( Read more... )

This was another awesome weekend - even if things didn't always go according to plan.

As you may have seen, I got my robot tattoos on Friday afternoon. Initially, he told me that they would take 1 1/2 - 2 hours from start to finish. We booked the appointment at noon to ensure that I would make my son's last baseball game....well, they ended up ( Read more... )

It's five pm and the first time that I've actually sat down all day. My ex husband called me and told me that he's picking our son up tonight for his three week visitation. My parents would never forgive me if I didn't have them over to say goodbye to Daniel before he takes off...so I invited them over for dinner. Then my sister called and asked if ( Read more... )
