I am beyond psyched about the 3-Day this year. So much so that I think I'm driving my friends and family crazy talking about it *is mildly sheepish ( Read more... )

I have a complex, I think. A people complex. I have a problem being friends with people, being close to them. Been that way for as long as I can remember.

There have been two people in my entire life that I've felt 100% comfortable with: K, my best friend, and J, my husband. It's kind of sad, really, and lonely considering that K lives across the ( Read more... )

Yes, great void that is cyberspace, I am still alive. Recuperating, to be more specific. I am taking a much-needed hiatus from the tedium that is school at U of P....neverending, brain-numbing, whirlwind school. Maybe taking a break isn't quite honest. To share the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I plan on transferring to UAB in January '08 ( Read more... )

What's the most important thing in life?

This question was in one of those e-mail surveys I got recently, and I found myself stuck on the question. The first answer that came to mind was happiness. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that wasn't really true. If the most important thing in life is your own happiness, what about ( Read more... )

I know this may come off as wrong to some, but a book (not the Bible) completely changed some of my ideas about religion. This book was given to me by one of my dearest friends H, who is not coincidentally one of the best people I know. The book is Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. This book sat on my shelf for months while I was busy poring over ( Read more... )

Diplomatic (adj.): showing tact and skill in dealing with people.

Yesterday afternoon on the commute home I was having a phone conversation with K (my Best Friend) about this word. The thing was that we just couldn’t remember the pesky word. Guess I was having a down day when it came to vocabulary. My theory was that my lack of recall had something ( Read more... )

I'll never understand this mommy one-upmanship that seems to run so rampant these days. Maybe it's been around forever-who knows? Either way, it gets old.

A couple of months ago I read a comment on an online forum saying that moms who stay at home with their kids "actually raise them". This statement stayed with me for a long time. It didn't make me ( Read more... )

A Good Weekend.

Things have been insane for about a month now. I think it was the trip to Boston that threw everything out of whack. That and the fact that I chose not to unpack or do laundry for two weeks afterward.

In my own defense, traveling is exhausting. Especially when you stay up all night two nights in a row just so you can have some quality ( Read more... )

It's just one thing after another these days ( Read more... )

I. Hate. Technology.

Especially computers (today at least). I was finally ahead in my class. Finally! Yesterday at lunch I was nearly done with a major research paper and I left for lunch without saving it. Ok, ok...I know that it was dumb. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that jazz. But I guess you could say I've learned my lesson now.
