Sooooo for those of you who might be interested in reading the ramblings of me, I clearly don't actually post on livejournal anymore. Xanga is my blog of choice (shhh....don't tell!).

My Uncle (and Godfather) Glenn passed away this morning. It had gotten to the point where there was some medication needed to keep each of his vital organs running and finally he had some kind of infection that took him off the list for a liver. He wasn't conscious when I got there, and about 5 minutes after I got to the hospital, they started ( Read more... )

I feel like ass.

I have to pay $250 to get my windshield fixed. Fucking stone.

I have to go back to work til 5 in about 10 minutes.

Ugh.

Don was in Madison Tuesday night, and it really made me remember how much fun I had with people in Appleton. When I made the decision to move to Madison, the one thing that made me sad about the choice was leaving so many people behind. I don't think it really hit me exactly how much I miss everyone until Tuesday. The alcohol in my system ( Read more... )

Hi everyone!

Jacqui came up to visit me this weekend with the fantastic idea of doing the Polar Plunge. So as of right now, Jacqui, Jacob, and I will be doing that on February 21st in Oshkosh.

Upon waking today, I checked my checking account online as I normally do (because I'm a little OCD about making sure my money's in order) only to find out that my account was overdrawn. Wh-Wh-Wh-WHAT?!? Apparently when you sign up for an Electronic Debit Account to pay off student loans, they automatically take out the payment due ON the due date, ( Read more... )

The bad news is that apparently no matter what car I have, I'm doomed to have issues with them. Today on my lunch break I was rear-ended at an intersection. Go go gadget Mallory! And of course it was by a truck with tow hooks on the front, so one of them jabbed through my rear bumper and now there's a nice hole in it. To tell you the truth, I kind ( Read more... )

2008 is almost at an end, and I can't believe how much has come to pass in the past year. It's remarkable how much can change in such a short amount of time.

I'm not going to lie, I've done more this year that I regret than I think I've done in many years combined. But with that I think I've grown so much more as a person than I ever have up until ( Read more... )

My Nana passed away at around 2am this morning. She wasn't in pain, and my mom said she looked really peaceful. She lived a full life, almost to age 90, loved everyone and was loved by all.

Thank you for all of your prayers. I appreciate them all.
