They had to put my Jezebel down Thursday night, though my mom didn't get a chance to tell me until today. Apparently her kidneys had been in trouble for a while now, but they just shut down. My mom was with her, so at least she wasn't all alone. My poor baby...she was never the sharpest crayon in the box, but she was the most loving, ( Read more... )

This weekend was mainly a lesson in not waiting almost a month to go grocery shopping. Never again. But the good news is we have lots of food here now, and I picked up a lot of vegetables and some grapes in my continuing quest to get a little more in shape by 1) eating better, 2) eating a little less (nothing crazy, just stopping eating when I'm ( Read more... )

I got an email from my mom this morning entitled "Fwd:Re:Chad Kulpa" and immediately my heart sank. I knew he must've passed away, and he has. (ladyofshadow and nightwhisp, I don't know if you remember his sister Tiffany; she graduated with us). Chad was about Alex's age and he was diagnosed with a brain tumor within weeks of Alex's diagnosis. It was an incredibly ( Read more... )

Ugh, I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I've been distracted. Massive amounts of studying continues and I'm trying not to panic about exams.

I ( Read more... )

Valentine's greetings to everyone. I hope everyone has a nice day and that everyone uses this as an excuse to gorge themselves on chocolate or the sweet of your choice regardless of your relationship status. Not that I ever need an excuse to do that ( Read more... )

Some of you by now might be aware that I am engaged. Because about half the people I know found out when Steve changed his relationship status on Facebook. And I figured I should put out an lj entry, considering that two of my friends have already written about in their ljs. Not that that is a problem, I'm very flattered. The lesson to be ( Read more... )

I'm back in Buffalo for a day and a half because my grandmother died Friday night. I don't really feel like writing about it, so sorry this is terse. It's ironic that I've written about this woman so many times and now I have nothing to say.

For a nice obit, read my brother's livejoural: soccerfreak56On the other hand, had nice weekend with Steve. And he's ( Read more... )
