A Barrel of Nelsons

Pardon the throbbing vein that is probably standing out in the middle of my forehead. I just had a very unsuccessful fight with the computer lab’s printer. I can report that it is still not working. And that’s only one of it’s many issues…
But really this post is about other technical difficulties.
You remember a while [...]

Warning: For at least a portion of this post I’m going to talk in “ideals.” Things that happen in worlds where life is fair, it never rains on your parade and nobody is really out there to double cross you. This is also the place where fairies and unicorns runaway to hide.
I took a risk [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but my aunt, uncle, and 2 of my cousins are in the Ukraine. They’re adopting a 10 1/2 year old boy named Roman. My cousin Alexa couldn’t go with them because she’s a freshman in college, but Caley (15) and Cameron (13) are both there.

I am Pro-Choice. I have been since High School. Not that I think it’s a choice to be made lightly. Personally when [...]

Man, you guys are getting alot of me tonight… of course you would have gotten alot over the weekend if I didn’t second guess what I’m saying, oh, all the freaking time. Which, you know brings me to this next post… errr… this actual post… err… Oh you probably know what I mean!
I need swallow [...]

Sigh… I’m not sure how I feel about this article from my local paper. The title? “Program rewards girls for not getting pregnant in high school.”
I wish a crisis pregnancy on no one. Least not on someone younger than myself. But at the same time I’m a bit wary of this program that seems very [...]

Warning: This post rambles, and it’s a bit emotional. Sorry if I offend. Sorry more if I seem unintelligible.
As some of you might know, when I finally confirmed my pregnancy I was 8 months along. Now I can give you all sorts of reasons and excuses but the best is “Denial is more than just [...]
