I hope you are all having pleasant holidays thus far! And that you got your Christmas shopping done! No one wants to have to hit a store tonight, let me tell you. Once a friend asked me to run him to Meijer on Christmas Eve so he could pick up some last minute gifts for his family. When we went into the store, it was so crazy in there - not ( Read more... )

It has come to an end. My sister and I just finished watching Jon Stewart's final episode of The Daily Show. I am just going to lay here and be sad for awhile. When all the correspondents came out on stage to hug him, I lost my shit. OMG, so many old faces too, like Wyatt Cenac, Ed Helms, Mo Rocca, Steve Carell and the Corddry brothers. And ( Read more... )

I haven't caught up on comments, even though I told myself I would before I posted again, cuz I have comments from like a month ago, but it is Tuesday, so whatever, I'm making a post! And I promised you guys some baby pics for my 37th birthday post and I finally got those uploaded, so let's do it! Honestly, these are more toddler/preschool pics ( Read more... )

So at some point this month - if I'd known I was going to keep them, I would have paid more attention to the date they were born - was Roo's birthday. Here's the story of when he was born: ( Under The Cut. )

Today would have been Grandpa’s 95th birthday. He was born 01/20/20. Idk why it took me years to remember what day he was born on, when his day and year are the same number. I have a cousin who was born on Jan 19th, as well as our surrogate-foster brother-friend growing up, and Grandpa on the 20th and I always got confused and thought Grandpa ( Read more... )

I shouldn't post when I am having a panic-crisis, but I need to do something to get it out. I just found out that my dad has started physical therapy...at my clinic. I can't breathe. I love my dad, I do, but he weighs 500 pounds and is dirty and smelly and has sores all over him and I can't...I don't want these people to associate how he lives ( Read more... )

This meme was going around on Tumblr and I thought I would give it a try. There are so many books that have stuck with me over the years, it is hard to pick just ten. And then some of them I can’t remember the names of! There was this children’s book that I checked out from the library every single time I went for like a year straight at the age ( Read more... )

Let's talk about a crazy dream I had a few nights ago. It's been awhile since I wrote one of these up - I suspect it will seem even stranger on 'paper ( Read more... )

Today is my sister’s birthday! Happy Birthday to her! It’s weird, because we are LJ friends - even though she isn’t really on anymore - but I still get LJ notifications for her birthday, so I guess I will never forget ( Read more... )
